Practice

The statuesque instructor glided through the center of the room. With each step she inspected our moves. After correcting my technical error on the reformer she reminded the class, "This is a practice. You get better over time. This isn't pass/fail."

I meditated on the instructor's refrain until my next class, where I experienced ease. This is a practice. 

Take the pressure off. You don't have to get it right every time. Your walk with Christ is a life-long practice in arresting violent thoughts, embracing identity as a child of God, and walking out wholeness. This is a practice. Go a little deeper everyday. God sees you and accepts you at every stage.
