This was a wonderful read and very timely for me. I don’t know where I picked up the idea that God wants me doing something for Him over being with Him, but I’ve struggled with striving, performance, and earning His love for far too many years. It’s a hard habit to break.
I’ve been exploring this in my own writing. I keep seeing this (needed!) correction to the idea from the the 90s that we need to do “radical” things for God. Thank you for adding to the conversation.
Ah, Tabitha, I love your series! It is wild the things that we were taught in the 90s. Makes me wonder what we're doing now that we'll shake our heads at in a decade. (I mean, I can identity some of them...)

Yes! And I don't know about you but I was taught it very explicitly. Contemplative prayer has been the most helpful for me.
Thank you for this recommendation!
