Confession From an Over-Analyzer

I am often obsessed with what others think about me. I wonder how those around me assess my work, my relationships, my parenting skills, you name it, I've thought about it. I constantly replay conversations and interactions in my head, examining them from every angle.

However, I realize I'm obsessing over the wrong people. The opinion that really matters is God's. The energy I expend on analyzing everyone else, me included, needs to be re-directed to what God thinks. No one else needs to approve of me.

Isn't it amazing how God uses our weakness to remind us of how much we need His strength. Now, I'm trying to trade my imaginary assessments from others for real conversations with God.

By the way,  I sent this to our Blog advisor for approval before it went live.  I'm a work in progress.
