the green-eyed monster prayer

Dear Lord,

I am jealous. Let me confess my jealousy to you and allow you to work within me.

Work within my spirit and work on those feelings. Allow me to know the contentment that comes from you.

Give me your peace and your comfort and heal my heart of these emotions.

Amen.


It's short and it isn't pretty. But it is real.

I hope everything works out for you soon! We share a lot of the same feelings and emotions. I have enjoyed reading your story as my husband and I just started the domestic adoption process. God Bless! I cannot wait for you to see God's perfect timing :)

You know, I completely understand where you are coming from.

Wonderful prayer. God loves to hear our words. God loves you and has a plan for you. The waiting is the killer, though.

Prayers and hugs to you.

I know your pain and all too well the green-eyed monster. Praying for you to have peace during your journey.

My dear friend,
Our profile was just shown to two birthmoms and once again ours was not chosen. I too am feeling the green-eyed monster today. I will ask that you pray for my heart and spirit too? Sending you love and prayers from afar.

Jealousy is something I have been struggling with as well and I hate it.

I'm praying for you!

Sometimes, we just have to say that one don't we? Jealousy is such a consuming ugly place to be - for some reason I easily get there when I've been watching too much HGTV or reading to many home/design blogs. Thank you for sharing! Hearts, SJ
