Personality Profile Prayer
I think the Myers Briggs Type Indicator can be a helpful tool. I’m sure many of you have taken the test. I took the test when I was 17 and again, just 1 year ago. Both times I came out as an ENFJ.
Recently I came across the following, a list of facetious prayers corresponding to each Myers-Briggs personality type. I thought this was fun. The prayer listed with my type is descriptive of me. How about you…does the prayer listed with your “type” describe your dealings with God?
ISTJ: Lord help me to relax about insignificant details beginning tomorrow at 11:41.23 am e.s.t.
ISTP: God help me to consider people’s feelings, even if most of them ARE hypersensitive.
ESTP: God help me to take responsibility for my own actions, even though they’re usually NOT my fault.
ESTJ: God, help me to not try to RUN everything. But, if You need some help, just ask.
ISFJ: Lord, help me to be more laid back and help me to do it EXACTLY right.
ISFP: Lord, help me to stand up for my rights (if you don’t mind my asking).
ESFP: God help me to take things more seriously, especially parties and dancing.
ESFJ: God give me patience, and I mean right NOW.
INFJ: Lord help me not be a perfectionist. (did I spell that correctly?)
INFP: God, help me to finish everything I sta
ENFP: God,help me to keep my mind on one th-Look a bird-ing at a time.
ENFJ: God help me to do only what I can and trust you for the rest. Do you mind putting that in writing?
INTJ: Lord keep me open to others’ ideas, WRONG though they may be.
INTP: Lord help me be less independent, but let me do it my way.
ENTP: Lord help me follow established procedures today. On second thought, I’ll settle for a few minutes.
ENTJ: Lord, help me slow downandnotrushthroughwatIdo.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Scary. And accurate. Scarily accurate.
P.s.- special shout-out to Claire for making you and Taylor take the MB test. Represent. ;)
I love Myers-Briggs. Definitely accurate.
i’m writing this on my wall (maybe multiple walls in my apartment, and maybe even in my car) “God help me to do only what I can and trust you for the rest.” !
thanks justin!
btw-congrats on the babies! i would just congratulate you on the newest addition, but i don’t think i have seen you since you had your first either! let taylor know i say hello and i will be praying for God to be with her through her exhustion! i can only presume you two are tired with two children, one of which a newborn.
This is so great! I love the Meyers Briggs profile, and had each of our leaders in our mom’s group take it! It helps me understand them! So great to see you this last weekend, wish we could do it more!! Maybe next time Brian will get to be there.
