Thanks for that verse.  It is awesome.  I need to pray that more often, especially while I am visiting my daughter and grandchildren.

Hugs,

 Hi and welcome,
I am usually more regular, but am visiting my daughter and caring for my grandchildren, so I rarely get on my computer.

I understand the concerns and ditto what has been suggested already.  My best suggestion for the emotional stuff is to attend some Oveaters Anonymous meetings.  OA is a 12 Step recovery group patterned after AA.  I have done OA in the past, and am currently active in AA, because my alcoholism is my top priority.  

While the 12 Steps uses a God of our own understanding, there are plenty of Christians in the 12 Step rooms.  I also use the Life Recovery Bible, which helps me understand how the 12 Steps are rooted in Biblical principles.

God bless.

Trish

Thanks so much Ginger. I did get worse and made another trip to the ER but am feeling much better today, I think the antibiotics are kicking in and taking care of the infection. I should be back to my ornary self soon.

Thank you so much for your concern , prayers and well wishes! May I ask how your doing? Well,  I hope. Without  getting into too many boring details, the last five years have been Hell for me. For 4 of those years it seemed God was silent and every huge issue snowballed into another, but, I never lost faith. I always said "God has a plan". While the past year has brought many blessings, answers to prayer and 1 extremely huge miracle, some issues will be forever.I took a leap of faith and signed up next week for the 8 hour class that is the first step required in the process for WLS. The Lord has already worked it out. I don't how to say this next part any other  way and I hope no  one  is offended. In today's world,  Christians are criticized for being intolerant. Yet, it's perfectly acceptable to mistreat and offend people that are Christian's and obese. I  know because I'm both and have been mistreated for both reasons. I'm glad here it is ok to be both. Thanks and Blessings !

Amen what an awesome verse! Only God can make us successful we can try but until He determines we've earned it it won't happen.
