Prayer for dealing with envy
Loving Father,
I come to you seeking relief of the pain that is plaguing me
today. I look at what others have, and I find myself wanting it or myself. I
envy all manner of things, their possessions, their relationships, their joy
and wonder why I always find myself lacking.
Lord, it often gets
to the point where I start hating the people who seem to be thriving while I
stay stuck in a pit of despair. Help me Lord to keep my eyes on my blessings
and to work to improve my circumstances rather than envying others. Bless my
work Lord, that I may feel truly rewarded by the Harvest I reap and give me
your spirit of gratitude that I may never feel the need to compare my blessing
with anyone else's.
Lord crush any anger, depression, bitterness, resentment of
feelings of ill-will that have festered within me because if my envy and
transform them into contentment that I may walk through life wanting nothing
but your approval.
Lord hear my prayer
Amen.
