In my own weight loss journey, one of the issues I dealt with sometimes having doubts that I would ever reach my weight loss goals.
But with faith and patience, I did. So will you! I had to
learn to embrace the process even as I was seeking change, with all of its joys and challenges. It was through the process that I learned to recognize God's voice better, rely upon His strength, and gain greater trust in Him.
I wouldn't trade those benefits for
anything.
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 popular 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.
Be blessed in Health, Healing, and Wholeness,
