The Trap of Striving in our Own Strength for Perfection

virginiagrounds1

Hello Podcast Listeners,


What is perfectionism? It is the desire for flawless performance and an unrealistic demand for

excellence. It can be a negative trait as it leads to the setting of unrealistic expectations which can result in disappointment, low self-esteem and anxiety.


This weeks episode titled Pursuing Perfection explores the drawbacks of being a perfectionist. Many of us strive for perfection in every aspect of our lives, ranging from relationships to career goals. However, the pursuit of perfection leads to disappointment as nothing is truly perfect. This episode reminds us that God's power is perfected in our weakness and that Jesus is the perfection of God. This episode also highlights the importance of trusting in God's instructions and not judging ourselves based on what the world tells us is right and perfect.



We are to allow God to shape us into the likeness of Christ and being patient with ourselves as we work toward accomplishing God's purpose for us. In doing so, we can find freedom in becoming flexible with our imperfections.


We hope this episode encourages you to trust in God's perfect plans for


you without letting the pursuit of perfection to cause unnecessary stress. We give thanks to God for His perfection, which we can reply on every day - Jesus.



Thank you for listening. We would love your feedback at study@quickstudies.org.
