1. For King Saul, I see the pattern of “Doing for God instead of Being with God.” He thought God was going to be impressed with his sacrifices. However, what God wanted was obedience. If he spent more time with God, he would have discovered this.

2. I would say for me, the symptom I exhibit sometimes is, “Ignoring The Emotions of fear, sadness and pain.” As I have a tendency to internalize and surpress my emotions rarher than express them.

3. This One is tricky, still finding my way through to be able to differentiate when I’m moving in obedience and when my actions are motivated by selfish ambition.

Cause there is this idea/feeling that I struggle with. The idea and the feeling that I’ve wasted a lot of time and I need to catch up. I see so many people accomplishing so much around me and it seems I’ve not done anything for God.

So there is a very strong desire to fill up my time with dreams and activities I want to achieve for God, as per doing the work of ministry to ensure that I’m being productive. Cause sometimes I feel God is disappointed in me. And I feel as though I’m not bearing fruits with the amount of investments God has deposited into me.
