There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.<\/em> Ecclesiastes 3:1<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n 2. Become busy pursuing own your calling. <\/strong>God has a plan and a purpose for your life. He has given you gifts and talents that you\u2019re supposed to use to advance his kingdom. Are you obeying his lead? Do you serve faithfully where he has placed you? God doesn\u2019t want you to pursue somebody else\u2019s calling. He wants you to focus on YOUR life and YOUR calling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”<\/em> John 21:21-22<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n 3. Pray your heart out for the person you envy.<\/strong> Ask God to bless that person abundantly. This may seem counter-intuitive to you, I know. But the Bible says that we should love people and pray for our enemies. Countless times I\u2019ve prayed for people I envied repeatedly and the effect it had on me was priceless. It freed me completely. I stopped envying that person and started loving her more and more and started to truly wish all the best for that person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Name what you envy about that person and pray about it.<\/strong> Whether it is a characteristic, material thing or whatever. Tell God that you\u2019d like to have this certain thing. But also pray that his will be done and that if it\u2019s not his will for your life that he may remove that particular wish from your heart. Ask for forgiveness that you let envy and jealousy take root in your heart. Pray about it and then let it go and trust that God has your best interests at heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Pray for a changed heart.<\/strong> Ask God to change your heart. Ask him to overcome every jealousy and envy that\u2019s hindering you from enjoying your life and moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.<\/em> Psalm 51:10<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n 6. You can only grow a harvest if you plant and water your field. <\/strong>Focus on your calling and your purpose in life. How could you do what God has called you to do when you focus on what everybody else is doing? You won\u2019t accomplish anything if you\u2019re desiring someone else\u2019s life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.<\/em> <\/strong><\/em>Galatians 6:9<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n 7. Grow your strengths and toss your weaknesses.<\/strong> In school, teachers told you to improve your weak subjects. But actually, you should develop the things you\u2019re good at. Find out what your strengths are and develop them. Improve your skills. You will enjoy working in your strength zones and developing excellence in these areas much more than bringing your weaknesses on an average level. We should rather focus on developing our strengths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Get to know yourself better.<\/strong> The best way to know who you are is to spend time with your creator. God is the one who made you for a purpose. If you want to know who you are and what you should do on this earth, you must spend time with God. Get to know him more and grow closer to his heart. Ask God to reveal your gifts and talents.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. Be grateful for what you\u2019ve got. <\/strong>Make a list of all the positive things in your life. Remember what God has already done in your life. Which prayers has he answered? How has he blessed you? Sometimes we\u2019re quick to look at what we don\u2019t have and miss the things we do have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.<\/em> Psalm 9:1<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n I hope these tips help you to let go of envy and jealousy and embrace God\u2019s good plans for your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9 tips to overcome insecurities <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10 prayers to overcome insecurities<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n 10 prayers for godly friendships<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Follow me on Instagram<\/a> for daily encouragement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Do you need more trust in God?
