The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.—Numbers 6:24–26 (NIV)

Let Go of Jealous Thoughts

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.—Galatians 5:26 (NIV)
Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” If you envy others’ successes, ask God to help you see yourself and others through His eyes and be content with what He has given you. With His help, you can find the love and strength to celebrate everyone’s successes genuinely without envy, and enjoy the freedom that comes from surrendering your jealousy in exchange for His peace.
Lord, thank You for Your grace and mercy, which enables me to overcome all things through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
