Teach me Lord, to number my days...

Times of prayer are times of growth.   If we cut those times short then many well filled hours may be profitless.

Also Pride compares.   Do not compare yourself to other.  You are called to follow the leading of God For YOUR present moment.   What is your present task....  whether grand or small.

Don't compare yourself to someone else.

Romans 12:16 " Live in harmony, do not be snobbish, high minded, and give yourselves to humble tasks, Never over estimate yourselves" and again in the book ABANDONMENT TO DIVINE PROVIDENCE 'all we count as trivial and worthless is actually what can make us holy. Making comparisons between various states is meaningless, for holiness is not to be looked for in the number or kind of duties given us. But our ATTITUDE to all these things. And this attitude is simply to say 'I will' to all that God asks in this present moment (no matter how grand or how menial)

Two are better than one.

No, I am not talking about desserts.   I am talking about ecclesiates 4:9 Two are better than one, because if one falls, the other can pick him up.

Even better, a threefold cord is not easily broken.    When two people in a relationship can no longer agree, have hardened their heart, or been hurt so badly that they can not pick each other up.   The threefold cord .....God is the third cord.   When those two individuals cannot come together.
