How to Overcome AnxietySample

We live in a day of social media where people post the best version of themselves. 

Everyone is happy. 

Everyone’s life is perfect. 

However, social media is a lie. No one posts their struggles. No one uploads their challenges. No one shares their weaknesses. When you compare your reality with someone’s best highlights, it is certain you will be discouraged and despise your life.

Avoid the trap of comparison.

One of God's commands is to “not covet.” Instead of coveting, we are called to count our blessings. Instead of looking at the neighbor's grass, which looks greener, we are called to water our own yard. 

Don’t let someone’s success bring you stress. Be still before God. Wait for His timing. Mind your own business. Learn to celebrate small victories.

When God was creating the earth, He did not compare the beauty of heaven with the mess that was currently on the earth. Instead, He looked at what He had done and said, “It is good.” However, there was so much more to be done–there was still an immense mess all around. But, God did not compare and He did not complain. God did, however, count the blessings.

God will not compare you to another person when you’re standing before the judgment seat of Christ. However, we will be judged for our works; and not even for our results, but for what we did with what we had.

Let's Pray:

Heavenly Father, thank You for all the blessings that I have. Thank You for how good You have been to me. Always help me to keep my mind focused on what You've blessed me with, not what I'm lacking.
