Coincidentally, or maybe divinely orchestratedly, I attended two water conferences this week, and I read Numbers 19-20 in my daily reading (water of cleansing and water from the rock, respectively) earlier this week.
On the two flights yesterday, I read the first half of the book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, and Chapter 3 about fear challenged me to think about how I fear failure. And, as a recovering perfectionist, I struggle with categorizing anything I do that falls short of perfection as failure. Thus, I struggle with considering myself a failure, categorically. I want to be freed from this mindset so that I can be more impactful at helping provide safe drinking water to people around the world.
Father, deliver me from perfectionism. Perfectionism is not the mind of Christ. I break agreement with perfectionism. I break agreement with thinking of myself as a failure. I take courage in knowing that you are orchestrating my advancements and victories. I love you.
