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.

Celestial Symphony
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.—Psalm 19:4–5 (NIV)
Whispers in the Wind
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.—John 3:8 (NIV)
