God, I know that you are all powerful and that with you all things are possible. You created me, so you understand my struggles and dreams as no one else can. Thank you for loving me unconditionally.

Please free me from my desire to eat more than I need. I ask you to give me the strength to resist temptation and avoid greed. Help me realize that food is just fuel for my body, not my soul. Please liberate me from the oppression of self-sabotage.

I ask you to help me attain a healthy weight so I can have the energy, strength, focus, and stamina to use my body and mind for the kingdom work you have chosen for me. Help me remember that my body is your temple. Let my hands, feet, mouth, eyes, and ears be weapons of mass compassion and not tools for mass consumption.

Lord, I am weary from fighting this battle with food. I struggle with balancing my physical need for food with my longing to eat in excess. I give you my hopelessness, despair, and weakness, and ask you to transform those feelings to hope, joy, and strength.

I believe that you have great plans for me and want me to devote my mind to more than thinking about food and worrying about my weight. I believe that having a healthy body without excessive weight will enable me to be a more effective Christian, and that is what I want to be.

God, I ask you to show me the way so I can truly let my light shine!
