PRAYER I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU

FOR ALL WHO STRUGGLE WITH OVEREATING

Dear God.

Today I pray for all people everywhere

who struggle with overeating.

Have mercy on them, Lord.

Have mercy on me!

Give Your church grace and wisdom

to reach out to people who are caught

in a cycle of overeating and under exercising.

May there be no spirit of judgement toward them,

but one of love, mercy, and genuine caring.

Show me how I can reach out

to help others who need support.

May there be no prejudice

in how I treat other fellow strugglers in Your church.

Make us one in You, God, thin and heavy alike.

May we lift one another up in prayer daily

and lift a hand to help whenever we see a need.

Gather to Your heart all who love You

and need Your power at work in them.

Have mercy on us, and forgive us.

Amen.

I just wanted to tell you that this really touches my heart. I actually just blogged about the guilt I'm  feeling for what  I ate today. For me, as silly as it may sound to some, this is kind of a sign letting me know that I'll be ok as long as I keep my faith alive. Thank you so much Vivian, and also Heather who wrote it. You will both be in my prayers as well!

Rachel.....that prayer touched me too.   That is why I saved it and from time to time I read it.   When I read it the other day....I decided to share it with others.    I think it is beautiful and so very true.   God bless you and yes....you do need to keep the faith alive and ask God daily for help with your WL journey.   Good luck !!!
