Focus on Unity

Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.—Galatians 6:4 (NLT)

The word “competition” does not appear in the Bible. The closer you grow to Him, the more you recognize that there is no reason to compare yourself to someone else. Turn any envy over to Him. Ask Him to help you celebrate the accomplishments of others.

Heavenly Father, help me to let go of a need to win and instead to focus on what unifies me with others.

Drive Out Barbs and Thorns
