There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do a good job — to be a good spouse, a good worker, a good friend. But somewhere along the way, the likes and the affirmations start carrying more weight than they should, and other people’s opinions grow louder than God’s voice.
In today’s prayer, Valarie speaks honestly about how social media has made comparison and approval-seeking a daily struggle — and how often we’re our own worst enemy, telling ourselves we’re not smart enough, not pretty enough, not anointed enough. She shares a prayer she prays often: deliver me from the opinions of others, and deliver me from the opinions of myself. Anchored in Galatians 1:10, she reminds us that God made us with great intent and already knows the plans He has for us, so His approval is the only one worth chasing. She prays for freedom from constant comparison, for confidence in who He created us to be, and for hearts that live for the audience of One.
