b'When I was just starting high school, it was tough. I wasn\\u2019t getting the grades I wanted to get, there was so much more work, and I didn\\u2019t fit in very quickly. It was such a hard transition.\\n\\u201cWhy is this so much harder?\\u201d I wondered. And then I began to compare myself to others. \\u201cWhy isn\\u2019t it this hard for everyone else? My sister is doing so much better than me, and she seems fine with the workload. So why am I struggling so much?\\u201d\\nIt\\u2019s the same way with our walk with Christ. When we struggle with sin, doubt, or hard passages of the Bible, we sometimes start to compare ourselves to other Christians. We can even start to believe everyone else\\u2019s faith is, well, perfect!\\nBut that\\u2019s a lie: we all struggle with different aspects of following Jesus. The good news is, God calls us to community with other Christians\\u2014not comparison. As Christians, we\\u2019re all sinners saved by grace, growing in our relationships with our Savior. It\\u2019s a process, and it\\u2019s a process we do in community.\\nOur struggles are easier when we share them with our family in Christ. If you\\u2019re wrestling with something, share it with other trusted Christians\\u2014whether that is your parents, your siblings, a pastor, a Bible study group, or someone else. When we share our struggles with other believers, we find that everyone is struggling with something. That honesty allows us to encourage each other as we all grow in the Lord! \\u2022 Kaelyn Hartman\\n\\u2022 What\\u2019s one area of your faith you struggle with? \\n\\u2022 Who are trusted Christians in your life you can talk to about your struggles?\\n\\u2022 Reread today\\u2019s Bible verses.
