Dear God,
Don’t let my heart be overwhelmed with jealousy like Saul’s heart was. I don’t even want to flirt with it. Make it known whenever my heart wanders off and I want to compare myself to others. Help me guard my heart IN you and only IN you Jesus. Rather than jealousy, make it a passion of mine to celebrate the victory of others. I don’t want to sit at the table and feel less then. Encourage my heart and give me the wisdom and confidence in you to be able to lift others up to even higher places than what I have ever or will ever be able to reach. God, make me a resource, a catapult, for your glory alone and not my own. Let whoever steps into my presence also step into yours. Like how the soldiers who Saul sent to kill David prophesied in Samuel’s presence. Let me only reflect on you and your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
