Prayer against Envy Gracious and loving Father,
I come before You with an open heart, asking
You to cleanse me from every trace of envy. Your
word teaches me in James 3 .16 that where envy
and self -seeking exist, confusion and every
evil thing are there. Lord, I do not want to
entertain anything that opens the door to the
enemy in my life. Forgive me for the times I
have compared myself to others. desired what
is not mine, or resented someone else's blessing.
You commanded in Exodus 2017, you shall not covet.
Lord, help me walk in obedience, trusting that
you are my portion and my provider. Create in
me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit
within me, Psalm 51 -10. Remove every root of
jealousy, and replace it with love, joy, and
contentment. Let the fruit of the Spirit, especially
love and peace, rule in my heart. Galatians 5,
22, 23. Help me to rejoice with those who rejoice.
Romans 12, 15. And celebrate the victories of
others without bitterness or insecurity. Your
word reminds me in Proverbs 14, 30 that a heart
at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots
the bones. Lord, I choose peace, heal my heart,
and fill me with Your life -giving spirit. Teach
me to fix my eyes not on others, but on Jesus,
the author and finisher of my faith. Hebrews
12, too. Help me to stay faithful with what You've
placed in my hands and to trust in Your perfect
timing for my life. Let me walk in humility,
not seeking what others have, but trusting that
No good thing will you withhold from those who
walk uprightly. Psalm 84 .11 You are enough for
me, Lord. Thank You for freeing me from envy
and clothing me with righteousness, joy, and
contentment. I praise You for who You are and
for all You've done in my life and in the lives
of those around me. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
