Prayer For Jealousy
Gracious Father, I have gone through so many things that have left me with trust issues. I am sorry for extending those issues to my relationship with you. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and for seeing it fit for me to be adopted into your family and be called your child. Help me to release all my fears to you so that I can start trusting you. Remove insecurity from my heart for it has opened demonic doors and caused me to be a very jealous person. Thank you, Father, for answering my prayers. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
Precious God, thank you for setting me apart as your child. It is not because I'm perfect on my own but because of your unconditional love that I can call you Daddy. Lord, I come before you today to ask you to make me humble. We are all your children, and you show no special treatment to any of us. Remind me that I am not better than anyone else so that I can remain grounded in your love. If there are any bits of jealousy in my heart, Father, I ask you to remove them and enable me to love others with Christ-like love. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Lord Jesus, my sincere desire is to become holy like you. Set me free from anxious thoughts that cause me to become jealous towards others. Please give me the grace to control jealous emotions when they arise. Please teach me how to be happy for my friends and family when they succeed. Purify my mind from ungodly thoughts and help me to walk in the way that is pleasing to you. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Dear Lord, there are times I've asked you for things that I need in my life, but it has been for all the wrong reasons. I am grateful that you never met my expectations to those prayers because you saw what was in my heart. Father, help me to have the right motives when asking for breakthroughs and blessings from you. If I'm doing it out of jealousy point it out and help me to work on my heart. Remove wrong desires from my heart and replace them with those that align with your word. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Heavenly Father, I have been struggling to come to terms with the good things that are happening in other people's lives, especially the ungodly. I have found myself coveting what they have and feeling jealous countless times. God remove this ungodly feeling from my heart and replace it with godly jealousy. Help me to be jealousy for your name to be glorified in every situation, especially in places where people are not glorifying you. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Father Lord, I am struggling with jealousy. I keep feeling bad when I see my friends who are not committed to your word experiencing breakthroughs in their lives while I keep struggling. I do not want to be like this because your word says that those who are jealous are still worldly. Uproot jealousy from my heart that I may stop acting like a mere human. Help me to behave like a child of God that is born of the spirit. Please teach me how to be appreciative of others even when it is hard. In Jesus' name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Loving Father, forgive me for my feelings of jealousy which I know are not righteous and very detrimental to my well-being, my health and my relationships. Keep me from looking at the attributes and achievements of others and wishing I had their gifts and graces. Help me Lord to develop an attitude of contentment and peace, which I know only comes from You.
Lord, sometimes my stupid jealousy has caused rifts between dear friends and me, and even has contributed to problems with my own family. This desire to have what belongs to others, or to enjoy the popularity and charisma that others seem to have, has become at times so stifling that I don't know which way to turn, and I know that this is not Your will for my life.
Forgive me for my jealousies and help me to develop an attitude of gratitude for all that I am and all that I have. And Lord, I pray that You would give me the grace to change my thoughts from those of envy and jealousy to right thinking and pure thoughts.
Lord, I know that it says in scripture to think about whatever is true, and good, whatever is right and pure, whatever is lovely and admirable, and whatever is excellent and praiseworthy and to fix my mind on such things. Help me Lord to change my thought pattern from the bad to the good, for I know that all things are possible with you. I ask this in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Loving Lord, I know that the jealousies of the flesh are ruinous and evil, and are abhorrent in Your eyes and yet You display a good and godly jealousy over Your children, and the things of God that are precious in Your sight.
Thank You, Lord, that You are jealous in that way over Your love for me. I thank You also for the godly jealous displayed by Paul over the church of God and pray that I too may develop a desire like him, to pray for Your protection of the church, from the evil ways of Satan who desires to lead believers astray, in the same way that he deceived Eve in the garden of Eden.
Help me more and more to develop a godly passion, a godly jealousy over the things of God. Help me not to perpetuate truth through compromise, nor water down the gospel of grace in order to maintain a false unity, but rather Lord, I pray that I may develop a passion for the truth as I seek to share the gospel of grace with all who are wiling to listen. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
