My aunt sent me this prayer from The All-New Free To Be Thin by Neva Coyle & Marie Chapian. I thought it was worth sharing.
The Weight Loss Prayer
Thank you, Lord, for teaching me discipline.
Thank you, Lord, that I am now free to be in charge of what I put in my body.
I choose to receive from You the strength I need to be faithful to my commitment to You.
Your strength fills me.
You show me that I can be responsible for what I choose to eat.
I thank you, Lord, that I am victorious in You.
I will accept the discipline of my Daily Prayer Time.
I will read the Word in the strength of the Holy Spirit.
I will keep my daily food diary and be aware of the contents of the food I eat.
I will not be a slave to food any longer.
I am victorious because You are victorious!
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
The authors recommend saying this prayer twice when you are tempted by foods you shouldn't eat. I cross-posted this at The Great Slim Down. You can purchase The All-New Free To Be Thin from Amazon.com by clicking here. My aunt recommends the book, but I haven't read it yet. Let me know what you think of it if you do.
Thank you Tech, for posting this. I needed this this morning. It also fits in with my Lenten study.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Trixie.
ReplyDeleteI think this is excellent. But remembering to say it when faced with double chocolate fudge cake will be my problem! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gloria. But I love it just the same.
