Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not envious of wrongdoers!
2 For they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.

fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,

Stop comparing your situation to others’! It is already your undoing! I
have given you this time and these circumstances, my daughter. Don’t you see
that your envy and covetousness is ungratefulness? You have this life, tailored
to meet who I made you to be. Rather than wastefully wishing it away, embrace
it and let it work its purpose in you!
I love you. Come to Me; come with Me. You can trust Me. You know that.
Stop fretting and be still.
Such good words! Thank you. I needed to hear this!
