I try to listen for God’s voice, but am overwhelmed.

I am reading through the entire Bible this year. Digging into God’s Word is helping me understand that He uses imperfect people. I am hard on myself and only look at my failures. Instead of accepting my progress, I feel guilty every time I slip. Philippians 3:13 is, “ Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 I will never be perfect.
