Prayer for teens
Anchors: Genesis 41:4
Father, in Genesis 41, Pharaoh dreamed of skinny, ugly cows eating the fat, healthy ones. That is what comparison does inside me. I have real good things. I have friends. I have a body that works. I have food. I have a family that tries. But one scroll through someone else’s perfect life can eat it all up. I end up feeling thin, and weird, and behind. I do not want to keep doing this. Help me see when I am about to feed the thin cows. Help me put the phone down before the good in my real day gets swallowed up. Teach me to want less of the life that only lives on a screen, and more of the life You actually gave me. I am not pathetic for having less than other people seem to have. I am Yours. Let that be enough today, even if it is not enough tomorrow yet. Sometimes the only way out of comparison is to log off, look around the room, and name what is really mine. Amen.
