Commit your way
Psalm 37:3–7 · King James Version
Read
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

The psalm meets anxious comparison with plain instructions: trust in the Lord and do good, commit your way to him, rest in him and wait patiently. It promises that he 'shall bring it to pass,' so fretting need not have the last word.
Pray
Lord, I commit my way to you. When I compare and worry, settle my heart and help me do the next good thing. Amen.
One step
When you notice yourself fretting today, stop and do one small good deed instead.
