Heart Guide for Lesson 19:
Godly Contentment

Once you have done the repentance and the prayers, the best practical step of all for defeating envy and jealousy is to stir yourself to move in the exact opposite direction from the way spirits of envy or jealousy want you to go.  Therefore, at the slightest feeling of envy when someone is being praised or promoted instead of you, or is displaying their possession of something you wish you had, immediately begin thanking the Lord for blessing them.
