Childishness

Self-generated pain from craving or demanding repetitive reassurances from others that never satisfy. This seems more of a clever form of anger management which seems to prolong self-hatred or self-loathing. I often hear "If he or she would do this then everything will be alright". But that is never enough and some new demand replaces the old one.  This is only a form of trust that is totally dependent on action by others. Trust that exists as an expression of peace that leads to action is given by One that is True, not just trustworthy.

Work Weak

 There are more working people sick about being unhappy than unhappy about being sick. Ecclesiastes 10:15

Criticism

The fear of criticism often paralyzes as much as criticism itself. Both kill spontaneity and creativity. Great faith rather than small scruples. Romans 14:1, 22-23

Discipline

From wonder to vision by grace. Grace produces discipline Titus 2:11-12  and eliminates boasting in oneself. Romans 3:27-28 Discipline and self-control come from the same root word. Discipline expresses itself through prayer delaying immediate gratification Hebrews 12:11 into doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done.

Detouring immediate gratification into satisfaction. Psalm 90:14-17
