In my own weight loss journey, one of the problems I dealt with was keeping my hope alive that I could change. After all, I had been on many diets and failed. Did I dare believe God that things could be different? 

The following is a prayer I wrote to help myself in this area. I pray it encourages you as well. This prayer is included in my newest book, The Weight Loss Prayers: 30 Daily Prayers for Weight Loss Motivation.

Today's Prayer

Lord, Your Word says that the renewing of my mind transforms me. Help me to be diligent in meditating upon Your Word every day, knowing that I am growing just as a seed planted into the ground. Because others have gotten healthier through Your Word and Your power, then the same can happen for me!

Even though I face challenges, there is nothing that is too hard for You. You know everything I am going through and You give me grace to deal with it. 

You are the same God who parted the Red Sea, brought new life to barren wombs, helped people defeat enemies, restored sight to blinded eyes, made the lame walk, and raised people from the dead. I know it is a small thing for You to help me with this weight problem. You are omnipotent God. Your power is greater than any situation I face.

Today, I ask You to help me with any areas of unbelief. If there are any areas of blindness or self deception within me that are preventing me from seeing the deliverance in front of me, then reveal it to me. 

Lord, restore my hope so that I may move forward. You are faithful and I trust You each and every day as you walk with me through the change process. Amen.

Be blessed in Health, Healing, and Wholeness,
