To keep it short, I am jealous of one of my classmates. My ex-girlfriend likes him and he seems to be better at me in almost everything. I am completly jealous of him and seem to be at a loss for what to do. Is this what Christ meant when he said pray for your enemies? Is this some prompting from God to recognize my faults? What is this and what to I do?

No, you’re imagining that this guy is your enemy. Our emotions cloud our spirituality with jealousy issues, loss of control, negativity, inadequacy, possession of other people, etc.

Is this some prompting from God to recognize my faults?

Yes.

What is this… ?

Various things occur as these negative issues whisper into our subconscience.

…and what to I do?

Are you familiar with Jesuit spirituality or the rules of St. Ignatius?

It only takes one seed of jealousy (whatever it is that plants it there). The best way to handle jealousy, in my opinion, is recognizing that it’s there and not further entertaining it. By comparing yourself to your friend, you’re easily giving in to the darkness of jealousy and fueling it even more. Focus on God, and on yourself and nothing more.

I will pray to the Holy Spirit to take over to fill you with ever-flowing love, joy, and peace, so that you, in turn, will not harden your heart, but to realize the gift of His undying love for you.

God bless 🙂

Is your ex- the only girl in the world?
Is she ex- or is she still in- ? You must decide…
There are millions of girls around…dont waste your time…
 
Remember to, be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

Trust in God, who knows all. Have faith that God has a plan and a purpose for you. It may not be with your ex-girlfriend, and it may not have anything to do with your friend’s attributes but, it does have everything to do with YOU as you.

God bless you.
