Envy is not only a mortal sin, but also a pernicious feeling that can harm both the envious person and the person to whom this feeling is directed. If you wear a cross, you can protect yourself from it by praying with jealousy and evil eye.
Orthodox prayer for envy
In Orthodox traditions, this one of the best prayers against envy is considered to be "Alive in the help of the highest." It is presented in the Bible in Psalm 90. It should be read 12 times:
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High dwelleth under the shadow of the Almighty, saith unto the Lord, My refuge and my defense, my God, upon whom I have trust". He will save you from the snare's net and from the disastrous ulcer. With his feathers he will overshadow you, and under his wings you will be safe; shield and fence is his truth. Do not be afraid of the horrors of the night, the arrow flying in the day, the plague walking in the darkness, the contagion devastating at midnight. A thousand shall fall by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near to you. Only you will look with your eyes and see punishment for the sinners. For you said, "The Lord is my hope," you chose the Most High as your refuge. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling, for he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They will carry you on their hands and will not stumble on the stone with their foot. On the aspid and basilisk step, you will trample a lion and a dragon. Because he loved me, I will deliver him, I will protect him, because he knew my name. He will call to me and hear him, with him I am in sorrow, I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satiate him for a long time and I will show him my salvation. "
This prayer-defense from envy helps not only to get rid of the consequences of someone else's evil glance, but also to remove the evil eye or spoilage. You will intensify the effect if you hold a lit church candle while reading.
Prayer for envy and anger
If you notice that you have been neglected, and then also feel unwell, read the prayer from the evil eye:
"Receive my prayer, Holy Mother of God Virgin, along with my tears. O Almighty Most Blessed Virgin, get rid of the evil eye, I pray! I, God's servant (name) do not want to suffer from what is not my fault.
To protect it, you can say it mentally when there are envious people or malevolent people near you.
