The Daniel Plan

It’s not just what you eat that counts, but what is eating you. “Envy” happens when someone else has something good, and you either desire to have it, desire them to lose it, or constantly compare your life to theirs. Envy is one of the most corrosive attitudes you can allow into your heart. Envy grows when you are blind to the good things God has given you, or when you are ungrateful for them, and instead focus on what everyone else seems to have. It robs you of peace and causes stress.

The antidote for envy is gratitude (Psalm 100:4). Look at the good things you have and thank God for them. Don’t think of yourself as deprived and the other person as undeservedly gifted. If you tend to think of yourself as deprived, stop and question that thought. Has God really not given you what you need to flourish? No, he has given you everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
