Cast It, Don’t Carry It: Break Free from Comparison

Published on October 13, 2025

Hey beautiful friend,

Can I be honest with you?

There was a season in my life when I was doing all the right things — showing up, serving, journaling, smiling — but deep down, I felt small.
Every time I saw another woman succeeding, I didn’t celebrate her — I silently compared myself and came up short.

And if you’ve ever felt that way too… you’re not alone.

Comparison is one of those quiet burdens we all carry — it sneaks in when we scroll, when we doubt, and even when we pray.
But God never asked us to carry comparison.
He asks us to cast it.

That’s precisely what we’re talking about in this week’s episode of the With God Her Story Podcast —
🎧 Cast It, Don’t Carry It: How to Stop Comparing and Start Living Confident in Christ.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why comparison costs more than we realize — emotionally and spiritually
• The difference between competition and calling
• 3 simple, faith-based steps to find peace in your own lane
• A journaling prompt to help you rediscover your worth in Christ

Galatians 6:4–5 reminds us:

You were never created to live someone else’s story — your lane has its own grace, its own pace, and its own beauty.

This Week’s Journaling Prompt:

Write it. Sit with it. Let it soak in.
Because your worth isn’t earned — it’s rooted in who you are in Him.
