About this prayer
Prayer against envy: when a friend's good news hurts, ask God for grace to celebrate without comparing your worth. "Rejoice with them that do rejoice," — Romans 12:15, KJV (first-clause excerpt). John's glad response in John 3:26–30 inspires the biblical illustration; Romans is a separate quotation. Pray: Lord, quiet my envy. Help me celebrate my friend's joy without measuring my worth against it. Use the private check-in to name one sincere act of kindness today. This prayer asks for sincere kindness and freedom from comparison. It does not promise material success or remove every difficult feeling.
