Dealing with perfectionism in an imperfect world?

[Muhan]

To wrap it up how do i live with this issue of not being able to escape future stumbling blocks and battling perfectionism while at the same time not abusing grace? Thanks.

You can't, unless God is your Father.
And if God is your Father
you would be doing it.

Not asking,
how to do it.

If God was your Father
Not only would you be able to escape all stumbling blocks
and overcome all imperfections of this world and your own,
but you would even cease from ever polluting and defiling
the mercy and grace of God.

That is just the nature of God being your Father.

I have this problem in my life that I've always had since becoming a christian years ago now. It's perfectionism/legalism. Just recently though I have been dealing with an issue at work thats led me to make this post because i just more than anything want some advice and input from people on how to fix this issue. I keep committing what I perceive to be willful sin not even because I want to but because it seems as though it's the only way to get through my job. It all has to do with training thats required for the job. I try to actually do the training properly but this issue is in order to do it properly it places what I perceive to be a huge burden on me. It's actually over something probably most people would perceive to be silly but my mind grapples onto it and it gives me anxiety and guilt from feeling like I'm committing sin. It all has to do with acknowledgements for terms and conditions and stuff. Again i know it's silly but it's just gets to me.

Do you believe your job is requiring that you lie or something of that sort?

If whatever it is would be viewed as sin by most people were it not part of the job, you may have a problem with that job.

Daniel, and Joseph both had jobs for pagan nations in roles of high leadership, yet did not violate their conscience in what they were doing. In other words, they did not take responsibility for what others in their job were doing, just what they themselves did.
