Thief of Everythingናሙና

Comparison can produce some pretty negative emotions in our hearts and minds: things like jealousy, envy, and bitterness. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us that it's our job to protect our hearts from allowing emotions like jealousy, envy, and bitterness to take root and cause us to act out. Protecting your heart can look like taking a break from certain apps or social media or even sharing what makes you jealous with someone you trust so they can help you refocus.

Today, write this verse somewhere you will see it often and then share it with someone you trust. When you share it with them, ask them to pray for you as you work toward guarding your heart.
