An excellent and important insight, Lamar. I remember hearing a podcast participant share that "spiritual disciplines" had to look differently for him. OCD turned almost everything, including a pattern of spiritual practices, into compulsions. To be authentic and relational, he had to be more flexible, more spontaneous. I'm learning that the "conversational relationship with God" advocated by Dallas Willard is more life-giving, at least for me.
Lamar, Thank you so much for this!
My ADHD self needed this today. :)
