A Prayer for Freedom from Jealousy
Lord, You see the jealousy rising in my heart. I bring it to You honestly. Take this weight from me, and make me whole.
Help me to be glad for others. Teach me to trust that You care for me, and that Your love for me is not divided or small.
Fill the empty places in me with Your peace. Let me rest in what You have given, and stop comparing my life to the lives of others.
Give me a grateful, contented heart. Free me to love without envy, in Jesus' name, Amen.
When to Pray This
Pray this when jealousy or envy stirs and steals your peace. It can help to name the feeling honestly before God, then let these words turn your heart toward trust and gratitude. Repeat it whenever the comparison creeps back in.
A Verse to Hold On To
