Morning Prayer
JEALOUSY and ENVY
“Loving Father, your word tells me how to love. I know being jealous and envious is not part of Your divine love. Father, I am struggling with envy and jealousy as I see pregnant women and hear of the birth of a new baby. Help me not to deny Your goodness and Your prefect plan for others as You bless them with children. Teach me not to compare my life with others, to take every negative, envious and jealous thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Replace jealousy with genuine joy and envy with sincere gratitude. I ask Your help to rejoice in the truth with others as I hear of pregnancy or birth. Thank You for teaching me Your way to love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
