Jealousy [#15678]

I am older single. I am struggling emotionally because every time I see a married couple walking so happily together I am burning with jealousy. I also am not finding a shidduch. I feel like I am missing so much in my life when others have it all. I tried to help myself in different ways but to no avail. I have other emotional issues too but the jealousy issue bothers me the most. Can the Rav give my any direction on this? Much thanks.

Every person is missing some things. Sometimes people are missing small things and sometimes they are missing big things. Even when others have what you don’t have, they are still missing other things. The true way to deal with all of these kinds of situations is to have emunah peshutah that everything from Hashem is for the good!!! You must allow that emunah to penetrate so deeply into you!!! In addition to that, write down all the good things Hashem has done for you, and review the list every day, according to your means.
