When I verbalize it, it sounds rather simple, but believe, this is very much a struggle for me.
Ultimately, when I find I compare myself to fellow classmates, it puts me in a funk and I find myself trying to outdo others or absolutely worrying about how others see me. So yeah, if you wouldn't mind, or if you think about it, please pray that God would intervene and that I would no longer compare myself to others.
Thanks everyone.
Do y'all have anything that I can be praying for, for you?

Hey man, I will be praying for you because I stuggle with that too. I find myself saying I'm better than other people and I too need prayer. Have a good week buddy and have a safe trip home.
You know, Chris, I think everybody has an issue with comparisons. I have especially had a flare-up since our move. I don't exactly know where I fit in here yet, and I don't know what others' expectations are of me. Sometimes my insecurities actually show up as overconfidence. I look brave and macho on the outside, but I am actually quaking in my boots. It's a tough balancing act. I have to remind myself that what people truly want is for me to be real and transparent. They already know I'm not perfect; so it is useless for me to act perfect. I'll pray for you. You pray for me. Deal?
It happens to me everytime I take my eyes off God, forget that He thinks I'm the bee's knees and put other people's opinions over His-a sure recipe for disaster. Consider it prayed over-
Hey everyone, thanks so much for the comments and prayers! It's good to know that I am not alone here and that we have all gone through this. I am in agreement with all y'all, we definitely need to make sure our focus is on God and how He sees us, and we need to be real with everyone. Again, thank you for your prayers and I will be praying for everyone else regarding this issue as well.
