Devotional Quote by Kathi Lipp
““feel like if I can’t have a “good” quiet time—one with prayer, meditation, Bible reading, and a devotional reading—then why bother? So I let my overwhelming need for perfection keep me from having a meaningful relationship with God. If I can’t take the time to do it right, then I guess I won’t do it at all.””
