Lord Jesus Christ, I am caught
in a web of jealousy that stays with me night and day. Help me to put
away from me this evil which your Word tells us rots bones (Prov 14:30)
and even shortens lives . Bring home to me the further evils to which it
leads if it is left unchecked: slander, calumny, hatred, damaged
relations, persecutions, and worse things. Let me dwell constantly on
the motives for loving others rather than being jealous of them. Remind
me of the fleeting character of all life's attachments and successes and
of the fact that our true happiness lies in being united closely with
You and with all others in You.
Amen
