Prayer Against Envy (Tzarus Ayin)

Master of the Universe, grant me the merit to escape from envy (tzarus ayin), and that I will not be jealous of any man in the world, nor of any woman in the world. May I truly rejoice in my portion, and not transgress for a single moment or second the prohibition of "You shall not covet your neighbor's house, your neighbor's wife, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." For this is the Tenth Commandment, for which there is no forgiveness in the world, as the holy Arizal says in Shaar HaGilgulim, Chapter 23, that there is no forgiveness for jealousy. Because a person must eat, earn a profit, multiply, and make a parnassah (livelihood), but jealousy is completely unnecessary and has no benefit whatsoever. As it is stated in Tractate Shabbos 153, "Jealousy is the rotting of the bones" (Proverbs 14:30). For they were digging in the land of Rebbe Nachman—who alone can extract a person from jealousy—and they found a man in the ground. They were terrified and thought it was a demon. He said to them, "I am the famous Amora, Rabbi Achai bar Yoshiya, who can sweeten every judgment in the world, and atone for every sin in the world, but only if a person does true teshuvah (repentance), to the point where the Knower of Hidden Things (Hashem) can testify about him that he will never return to this sin again."
