Not perfect enough

How often our prayer is false because we try to present ourselves to God not as we are, but as we imagine He wants us to be. We come to him in our Sunday best or in borrowed finery. It is important that before we start to pray we should take time to recollect ourselves, to reflect and become aware of the real state in which we present ourselves to the Lord. 
Metropolitan Anthony Bloom

I like things to be just so.  Perfect.  I like to be perfect.  But just because I like something doesn't mean I get it.  Because I'm not perfect.  I am who I am.  Not perfect at all.  And that's ok.
