Prayer to Merit Being Saved from Jealousy

Master of the Universe, Almighty, save me from the jealousy of flesh and blood, and may I never be jealous again. May I merit as it is written in the twenty-third chapter [of Tractate Shabbos], page 152b: regarding Rav Achai bar Yoshiya. There were diggers who were digging in the land of Rav Nachman. Rav Achai bar Yoshiya shouted at them [from his grave]. They came and told Rav Nachman, "A man shouted at us." He [Rav Nachman] came and said to him, "Who is the Master (who are you, sir)?" He answered him, "I am Achai bar Yoshiya." He [Rav Nachman] said to him, "Did Rav Mari not say that the tzaddikim are destined to become dust?" He replied, "And who is Mari? I do not know him." He [Rav Nachman] said to him, "But a verse is written: 'And the dust will return to the earth as it was' (Ecclesiastes 12:7)?" He replied, "Whoever taught you Koheles (Ecclesiastes) did not teach you Mishlei (Proverbs), as it is written: 'But jealousy is the rotting of the bones' (Proverbs 14:30). Anyone who has jealousy in his heart, his bones rot. Anyone who does not have jealousy in his heart, his bones do not rot." He [Rav Nachman] touched him and saw that he had substance (his body was intact). He said to him, "Let the Master arise and come into my house." He replied, "You have revealed about yourself that you have not even read the Prophets, as it is written: 'And you shall know that I am Hashem, when I open your graves' (Ezekiel 37:13)." He [Rav Nachman] said to him, "But isn't it written: 'For you are dust, and to dust you shall return' (Genesis 3:19)?" He replied, "That is for one hour before the Resurrection of the Dead." And in the merit of never being jealous, may I merit to enter Gan Eden (the Garden of Eden) with my physical body = 177, and may I learn Torah day and night = 177, without stopping for a single moment or second. And may I merit to subdue the 11 chieftains of Esav, and may the verse be fulfilled in me: "but the reverse occurred, that (501) they should rule (355), the Jews (86) themselves (50), over their enemies (414)" = 1411. And may I enter Gan Eden with my physical body = 177, like Serach (508) daughter of (402) Asher (501) = 1411, and Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh.
