PRAYER I THOUGHT I WOULD 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.
