Ep. 191-4 Reasons Perfectionism is Keeping You From Having a Meaningful Quiet Time with God

Live It Out with Jennifer Booth

I have a confession to make. I am a recovering perfectionist. Maybe it’s in the way I’m wired to be a rule follower, but I tend to let perfectionism get in the way of how I live out my faith. And, just being honest here, perfectionism has hindered progress in most areas of my life.

Doing things with excellence is great. But if we allow perfectionism to take over, we can become paralyzed and not do even the smallest tasks we need to do.

At various times in my life, perfectionism has kept me from having a meaningful quiet time with God. And as I’ve talked with other women about their quiet times, they make statements that make me think perfectionism is hindering their efforts to spend time with God.

In this episode, I’m going to share four reasons perfectionism is keeping you from having a meaningful quiet time with God. These reasons are ones I’ve noticed in the lives of other women who say they don’t have time to go deep with God.

So grab your favorite beverage and settle in while I share these four reasons and give you some tips for overcoming procrastination when it comes to spending time with God.
