Obstacle # 3: The Obstacle of Comparison— I feel inadequate, overwhelmed, or guilty when I hear others speak of a beautiful time of Devotions, and I compare my devotions with their's…
You feel like quitting because you can never match up to their picture-perfect devotions…You close your eyes, take a deep spiritual breath, and you realize just how much life interferes with everything you do to have a closer walk with the Lord…
Tip # 8 Release yourself…
Release yourself from other people's picture frames and live in the picture frame of God's grace and mercy.
Tip # 9 Remind yourself…
It is not what the lens captures that matters in life, but what is important is what your mind captures from God's Word and what you hide from it in your heart…
Tip # 10 Reset yourself...
Be Realistic and Reset your expectations from the Word of God… Hope is a choice you must make when disquiet invades you.

DO YOU EXPERIENCE GOD? Here's a study that tells you how!
For more than 15 years, God has used Experiencing God in His work, showing believers how to know Him intimately while encouraging them to step out in faith and join Him in His work with miraculous results. The revised Member Book has been updated with new illustration and testimonial content that demonstrates how this study contributed to some truly miraculous results.
BEGIN THE ONE YEAR ADVENTURE WITH THE GOD OF YOUR STORY

It is written by Brian Hardin who founded the Daily Audio Bible podcast, in which he shares similar devotional commentary verbally.
