A Short Prayer To Ask God For Clarity When Comparison Clouds Your Mind

Especially in the modern day with social media, television, and so much more, it’s easy for us to fall into the trap of comparing our lives to other people’s. Here’s a short prayer to recite when you’re doubting your path and starting to compare your life to those around you.

Dear God, I come to you today because I feel vulnerable—there are many fears, voices, and negative forces gripping at me, urging me to act in ways that divert from your character. I admit that part of me wants to give in to these temptations, but I’m trying to be alert and of sober mind.

Please sharpen my spiritual vigilance against the enemy and help me remain alert and clear-minded. Give me the wisdom to recognize the tactics being used against me and whenever I am weak, strengthen my resolve. Where I am most vulnerable, increase my awareness.

Thank you for your protection that is greater than any threat I face. I trust that you have given me everything I need to resist and overcome anything that is not of your light and love.

Amen.
