Comparison · from Liferaft

When comparison eats at you

“But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.”

Galatians 6:4 · ESV

Father, someone else's announcement just made my whole life feel behind. Forgive me for measuring my work against a highlight reel. Turn my eyes back to what You have actually put in my hands. Help me celebrate other people honestly and do my own work faithfully, without keeping score. Amen.

One step: Mute one feed for a week. Spend that time finishing something of your own.
