All of us wrestle with recurring sins that seem to hang around just under the surface of our consciousness for years. An example of this in Dr. Worgul’s life was anger and envy. It was not till the bottom fell out for him when he was in his mid-fifties that he actually saw it. Life mapping helps us gain perspective on this. As you map out your life, do you see any besetting sins that God is trying to bring to your attention?
-
Yes, one in particular. But I think it is the manifestation of other issues that I need to deal with.
-
Yes, a constant theme through my life has been a tendency to mistrust God.
-
Yes, and we (God and me), will be working on this the rest of my life. Maybe it will help me not to become prideful.

I’ve been told I’m selfish. Growing up isolated socializing and communicating became difficult to me. Hence I focused on myself by doing things that made me comfortable and happy. While I’ll try to help someone if they ask I’m not a giving person by nature. I believe God has told me I have to be more serving and less self-centred.

I have done life mapping before in the form of working a 12 step recovery program. The work has definitely revealed “besetting sins” to me. Recognizing these sins has enabled me to see what my real problems were. I considered the effects of these sins to be my problem when it was the sins that were the real problem.
