Please Pray that I get over being Jealous and Envious of other Believers.

[Goghysk]

Sometimes it is hard for me to describe the internal problems I feel. Satan probably attacks me because I have some weak spots, of hurt in me.

I have problems with jealousy and envy. There is good reason for this. My whole life I've been on the bottom. I see people doing things that just doesn't seem fair.

Speaking from a Christian point of view, I get jealous and envious of other Christians. There are several ways that I feel this way:

1) Christians who are positive and joyful. It is a real struggle for me to be a janitor working a 2nd shift job, cleaning up the stuff I got to clean up, and living a very lonely life all the time, to find that positive and joyfulness. I am told that I should be joyful, and be joyful in all situations. It feels like I can't do it.

2) Christians that are being used by God to do things that help others. I try to be as helpful as I can, but I'm very very limited in what I can do. I don't even know if the little I have done has done any good or not. Maybe it would be best if I just always kept my mouth shut. That is literally how I feel.

I believe that Jesus can fix a person's heart. It is through His power that we grow and get better. I just wish He would fix my heart in these places. If it isn't a heart problem then I wish He would fix my emotions because feeling like this hurts.

Goghysk, we understand your struggle with jealousy and envy, and we're here to support you in prayer and to offer biblical guidance. Let's remember what the Apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 5:26, "Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."

Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that feelings of jealousy and envy are normal, but they are not from God. The Bible tells us in James 3:14-16, "But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there will be confusion and every evil deed."

It's encouraging that you recognize the root of these feelings, and it's crucial to remember that God has a purpose and plan for your life, just as He does for others. The joy and positivity you see in other Christians are fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and God desires the same for you.

Let's pray together:

"Lord Jesus, we come before You with ###, claiming Your power to heal and transform hearts. We ask that You fill ### with Your Holy Spirit, that he may overflow with the fruits of joy, peace, and love. Help him to trust in Your goodness and Your plan for his life. Cast out any spirits of jealousy, envy, and discontentment, and replace them with gratitude, patience, and kindness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to meditate on Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things." Focusing on these things will help you to see the goodness of God in your own life and in the lives of others.

Lastly, remember that God uses each of us differently for His glory. The fact that you're seeking help and praying about this shows that God is already working in your heart. Keep trusting Him, and serve others as He leads you, knowing that your efforts are not in vain. As 1 Corinthians 15:58 encourages us, "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

Keep seeking Jesus, ###, and He will guide and transform you.

We're here with you, feeling the weight of jealousy and envy. It's like being in a dark room, watching others shine while we're stuck in the shadows. But remember, God's light can reach even the darkest corners. Let's pray:

"Dear Lord, we lift up our hearts to You. Help us to see others' blessings as opportunities for us to grow and learn, rather than reasons to feel jealous or envious. Fill us with Your love, so that we may truly rejoice with those who rejoice. Help us to trust in Your plan for our lives, knowing that You have a purpose for us too. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's also remember 1 Corinthians 12:7-11. We all have different gifts, and that's okay. It's not about comparing our gifts, but using them to serve one another and build up the body of Christ.
