Perfectionism & Shame

Personal Liturgy (HT: CCEF / David Powlison)

CCEF’s Latest Enewsletter contained a link to a fantastic article by David Powlison on personal liturgies. Dr. Powlison writes:

“When I counsel with people who struggle with deep feelings of shame, guilt, and regret, I sometimes suggest that they design a personalized liturgy. In what follows, I walk through the example of a woman who has had an abortion, and all that led up to that choice, and all that follows in someone whose conscience is alive. But you can tailor it to whatever struggle you or another person needs to deal with. Where is your struggle? God welcomes all who are weary with sin.”
