Why her?

There is a quiet question that every girl asks in her heart at some point in her life. Comparison is a struggle that many girls constantly combat, and that was a challenge throughout the lives of Rachel and Leah in the Bible. Like us, Rachel and Leah experienced disappointment, heartache, brokenness, and emptiness. They had to learn that the success of others is not meant to discourage. And sometimes, through the most difficult times, we learn that God is for us much more than we ever dreamed.

Over the course of six sessions, author Nicki Koziarz will help girls take an honest look at themselves and allow God’s truth to combat the comparison they struggle against. God calls girls to trust Him to lead their steps so that they might walk in the fullness of who He created them to be.

Video Sessions

• Session 1 (8:05)—Nicki introduces this study on Rachel and Leah by pointing out that all of us struggle with comparison and that quiet question of "Why her?" She shares the first of six truths to help deal with the struggle: You need to be honest.
• Session 2 (6:31)—Too often we see what we want to see, rather than seeing the truth for what it is. Nicki cautions us to see things as they really are in this comparison struggle. She reminds us that we have an enemy who wants to deceive us and keep us from all God wants us to be.
• Session 3 (7:48)—Nicki shares the truth that you don't always have to be OK, especially in those times of difficulty or suffering we all face. But she also encourages us to trust in the One who loves us and is working everything out according to His will.
• Session 4 (6:42)—In the comparison struggle, we tend to heap blame upon ourselves. However, Nicki reminds us in Session 4 that sometimes when we find ourselves in a mess, it wasn't our fault. It just is what it is. And that we need to remember that though we may not be able to see what's ahead, God is continually guiding our steps.
• Session 5 (8:15)—How easy it is to look at someone's victory and see it as our defeat. But in this session, Nicki shares the fifth truth: Her gain is not your loss. She will challenge us, especially in the midst of our comparison struggles, to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.
• Session 6 (7:16)—Nicki shares the final truth: Let the success of others encourage, not discourage you. She encourages us to remember that those who are successful didn't get there overnight, and who knows what else in going on in their lives. And while they can be good role models for us, we need to be careful not to idolize them.
