Please pray for me because my sister is listening my iPod and I have jealousy.

Hello Abel wolf: I understand what you are having struggles with and I will pray for you.

Even after we have become born again in Jesus we have a difficult time resisting the devils onslaught of temptations, especially a temper. Would you let me give you some advice from someone who's been there and done that? In your prays, not only ask God for strength to overcome your temper, which I know you are doing, but also pray a sincere prayer for the people who are causing the anger, that God will bring good to them. No matter who they are or their spiritual condition just leave it up to God to decide what that good is. Trust God that He will work in you and them, to bring you to a place where you are living without a bad temper. Also ask God to help you to apologize for losing your temper. In time you will mature in this and even if it rear it's ugly head once in a very little while you will be strong enough by then to overcome it quickly and apologize if that is necessary. So trust God that He is working in you because your heart is longing for this. You mentioned you were jealous of your sister because she had YOUR iPad. Whenever this happens, perhaps go to your prayer closet and ask God to give you a loving spirit toward your sister and then go to her and treat her with kindness and tell her she may use it for as long as she likes. Show her the unconditional love of Christ and, if you can, buy her one as a gift, perhaps for her birthday. That's what the scripture means when it says 'pour coals of fire on your neighbors head." Romans 12: 29-21. "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Again, I will be praying for you and I hope this helped. God Bless :)
