God has taken me on a new course in this season of my life. It’s a season I pray never ends.

I am walking in surrenderance to Him with everything I have. That includes my body and my desire to use food as an escape. Oh how I’ve longed to be here, and I’m so thrilled He and I are working together to remove barriers that keep my focus off of Him. 

I can’t continue taking the next right step without Him, and that involves prayer. A lot of prayer.
I want to share with you a prayer I received from Kimberly Taylor at Take Back Your Temple. I hope it takes you to a deeper place with a God who loves you more than you could ever imagine.

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.

How is God encouraging you to pray through your health struggles? Share with me.
