Lord, I want everything I do to be glorifying to You. Help me to be a good steward of the body You have given me. I know that my body is the temple of Your Holy Spirit, who dwells in me. Help me to fully understand this truth so that I will keep my temple clean and healthy. Help me not to mistreat my body in any way. Teach me how to properly care for my health.
Such a moving prayer! Do we think about this? That our bodies, the ones we are filling with high fat, high cholestrol foods are not really ours, but gifts from God that we need to treat with care and respect? Will knowing this make a difference in what we do and how we treat our bodies? How about aking God to help teach us the proper care of our bodies? Will that encourage you to stick to a better, healthy diet of foods and not mistreat the gift God gave of this earthly body?
I wonder, but at the same time, I know that I need to trust in God and to ask for his help, because without him has gotten me into the problem I am in now. Without Him, I have ballooned my body to weights that is can;t handle, that make it hard for me to care for my kids, to play with my kids and that make me feel like less of a woman. If I look to Godfor the help I need, it has to be better than were I have gotten myself on my own!
What about you? Can you trust God with your own weight loss journey?
