Gracious Lord, to whom all creation belongs for you made it, show us where we are envious of others, and keep us from bitterness and wrath, that we would focus on your generosity and goodness, knowing that your love is sufficient for us all, through Jesus our redeemer, who bought us with the sacrifice of himself and now lives with you and the Holy Spirit in joy forever. Amen.
‘Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ – Matthew 20:15
