Help me, Lord...

Father,

Those are the things I cannot take anymore.  I don't care anymore.  I want to be uncertain.  I don't want to know the whole story.  Lord, I ask that You would take away these compulsions.  I hate these compulsions.  I just don't know what to do except to seek You.  I am in need of both wise counsel and healing.  I need Your help, Lord.  I need immediate help.  I also ask for peace of mind.  If I don't get to touch anything then I would be happy.  If I don't perform a compulsion, then I would be happy.  I have tried to stop and for a while it worked, but I just don't know how to overcome them in the long term.  I tire of of the obsessive compulsive disorder cycle.  I ask for the cycle to be broken.  I ask for forgiveness of my sins.  I thank You in advance for answering this prayer.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Sleep patterns

Lord,

I thank You for this day.  I had to do something about it and I thank You that with Your help, it has been done, I was just plain exhausted.  All I wanted to do was sleep but I don't like to sleep but for so long in a 24 hour span.  Sometimes I am awake for only 9-10 hours, which upsets me.  I admit that I sleep too much.  Sadly, sleep has been one of my past times when I could be doing something else. I cannot and will not excuse my behavior.  Today since I have woke up, I wasn't tired at all today.  I look forward to living the rest of my day moving forward with my night, however, and thinking forward.  I thank You in advance for answering this prayer.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Repentance prayer

Lord,

Thank You.  My fears have been calmed.  Right now, mentally, I am at peace.  Forgive me for all of my sins.  I repent of all of them.  I ask for help and guidance when it comes to true repentance.  Make me wise when it comes to repentance.  I know that I have sins that I need to and will confess.  Thank You for Your love, Your salvation, and Your forgiveness.  Thank You.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Negative v Positive Thinking

Lord,

I have been living my life according to my black and white thinking.  Lord, I confess that I am still afraid.  I still feel like that I will never change.  I also believe that I have put other things first before You and for that, I repent.  I apologize for doing that.  I have overeaten for years.  I have seen things according to the flesh.  I don't know what You and Your words, say.  Forgive me for being so naive, but I have a hard time getting over those years.  I have been living those fears for years and I feel as if I will go back to where I have started over.  I want to lose 80 pounds and keep it off, so at least I have a goal in mind this time.  I still feel burdened by this.  I ask for forgiveness.  I make You my God, Lord.  I put my focus on You in all things.  I trust You.  I surrender my cares over to You.  I thank You for everything.


In Jesus' name,


Amen

I have no desire

Lord,

How come I don't have that moment?  Where is the spark?  I need to lose weight.  I am over 300-lb., which would make me super morbidly obese because of my height.  My question is am I losing weight for the wrong reasons?  Am I really doing this for me?  I have every reason to lose weight.  I broke a chair or two.  I have been teased and made fun of.  I fell down the stairs twice.  I feel like a person who is broken.  I hate the way that I look.  I don't see the beauty in myself.  I am fat, short, boring, and just not attractive enough.  I would be considered one of those fat people who have a pretty face but I need to lose weight.  There are just times when I feel so unattractive and so ugly. I fear that others will make fun of me, reject me, or laugh at me.  I know my weight is a problem, but I am not sure if my weight is such an issue because my heart just isn't in it.  I have no desire no matter how much I try to change.  I have this mindset that is unable to change.  I feel guilty about gaining weight.  I am comfortable because I am complacent.  I need to exercise, but I rather not.  I wish I could do those things, but I feel tired.  I have made no progress.  I have struggled and struggled and struggled.  My desire is to have a desire.  I just don't and that is not a good thing.  I just don't know what to do.  I just cannot wait anymore.  I just cannot wait any longer.  I want to be more than just a number on a scale.  My goal is to have a goal.  I just have no true desire and that scares me.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

In need of a social life

Lord Jesus,

May I ask that I won't ask amiss. I need your help.  I need a social life, even though I am no social butterfly.  I have no job and no transportation of my own.  I ask for open doors so that my social network will expand.  I also ask for guidance and for forgiveness of all of my sins.  I need to learn to stand up for myself and to deal with other people.  I don't just want You to change my situation.  I want You to produce a change in me.  My desire is to also do what You have called me to do, whatever that is.  I have no idea what it is.  Therefore, I ask for a sense of direction in my life.  I sometimes have no idea what I should or rather, need to do.  So that is why I ask of You for help and for guidance.  Give me wisdom liberally so that I will answer whatever I am called to answer just in case someone asks me about You, Lord Jesus.  I give You thanks, O Lord.  Thank You further for the opportunity to present my request to You.

In Your name, Jesus


Amen

A Fresh Perspective

Dear Jesus,

Thank You for giving me a fresh perspective.  It was the perspective that I needed.  Help me to see things more clearly.  It is not just about my weight issues, but my entire life period.  The Bible explains the consequences of laziness, sloth, and gluttony.  I am guilty of all of those things.  Forgive me, Jesus, for those and all of my sins.  I ask that You would fill me with the Holy Spirit and give me further wisdom on that fresh perspective.  I realize that I need help with what is hard.  So I ask that You would help me to do what was hard like overcoming laziness, sloth, and gluttony.  Jesus, I ask for guidance in this area.  I feel like a hamster spinning a wheel.  I believe in health and fitness.  I just hope that I have not made them my God.  I ask that You will see that You are my God and that I am make You my first priority.  Again, I thank You for that fresh perspective that I so need.  I give You praise, in Your name,  Amen.

Taking action

Lord,

Thank You for giving me wisdom and for answering my prayer.  There are times when I need to "come back to earth".  I am not blaming bipolar or anything like that, but there are those times when I go overboard and eat or do other things that I know are not good for me.  Teach me Your ways when it comes to those issues.  I need to take my health more seriously for example.  I realize that my health could further worsen if I don't change.  I need Your help in realizing this whenever I eat or drink.  I have a more realistic view than ever before.  I don't wish to be warned and not take action. Father, I need to change.  I ask that You would show me how.  I am worried that I will never change and that things will stay as normal.  I ask for guidance so that I can take action when it comes to my health and other matters such as getting out more.  I know that, but I wonder how should I go about doing things.  I cannot and know not where to begin.  I ask that You would guide me and give me direction.  Forgive me for all of my sins.  Thank You for answering this prayer.


In Jesus' name,


Amen

Discernment

Heavenly Father,

I ask for the wisdom to discern what is perfect from what is error.  False prophets have gone out into the world as Your word says.  I have no idea how to discern truth from error some times.  I have often followed the leading of others.  I don't wish to follow others and what they said.  Also, I don't wish to be among the deceived.  If I don't take a stand, then I will fall for anything.  That is what I need to know more about.  Lord, I give You thanks and praise for giving me Your wisdom liberally.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Financial wisdom prayer

Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask that You would teach me how to pray regarding finances.  While my financial situation has improved, there are things that I have need of.  I have had cares for a long time now that are financial and I ask that You would take care of me as Your word says.  Forgive me for my lack of faith.  I ask that You would increase my faith and I thank You for doing so.  I thank You that You know what I have need of before I even ask what it is.  I give You praise that You answer prayer.  Amen.

Request for healing

Heavenly Father,

I ask for Jesus to heal me.  I remember that Jesus mentioned about fasting and prayer in reference to healing.  I spent a lot of the last four days asleep.  I cannot stay awake.  I am not happy to stay asleep but I would like to do more while I am awake.  I ask for Jesus Christ to not only heal me but to forgive me of all of my sins.  Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I ask that You would heal me.  I also ask that You would help me to take care better care of myself.  I know that it seems like an odd request, but I realize that You don't wish for us to neglect ourselves and our bodies.  I give my body and my pain over to You.  I give You praise that You do heal.  I give You thanks that You do answer prayer. In Your name,

Amen

Dear Lord Jesus...

Lord Jesus,

I have often allowed myself to get caught up and burdened by the cares of this life.  I have been so bogged down by the problems of old that it seems hopelessness.  Lord, I know that Romans 12 is the answer and that it thankfully, is in Your word.  I ask for forgiveness as I confess I am a sinner, for I need You.  I will always need You.  I certainly have no idea how to live my life without You.  I will live for You and serve You.  I ask that You would show me how.  I surrender all of my life to You. Show me and give me guidance on those issues that are not just bothering me, but have been weighing me down as well.  I ask that You would lighten my load and allow me to learn from You. I have been under a lot of stress lately.  My health is one of those issues and so am I trying to change my mindset but it is a hard.  I don't know how to overcome these struggles.  I have tried but I have often felt like a failure.  I have made many many mistakes over the years and for that, I felt like, a failure.  Jesus, I just don't know what action to take.  I just have no idea what else I need to do.  I always rely on outside help but when it comes to helping myself, it is a struggle.  It is a challenge even learning how to take action.  I am scared that things will never change.  I am scared that I will never change.  Jesus, help me to overcome those fears.  I ask for the courage to not just live for You as a changed person but as a person who sees the world as it really is.  I need help also on how to change my mindset.  I know I expect the perfect day too much, I expect ease too much, but I would like to know that a mistake doesn't have to spell doom.  I would like to know for myself that something that is only temporary doesn't have to spell permanence.  I don't have to stay down and I can take action.  I ask that You would show me how.    I give You praise and thanks for listening to this prayer and for all else, especially salvation, Lord.


In Your name,


Amen

My issues

Heavenly Father,

Help me to see that I have had many challenges to face and my weight is one of them.  My eating is improving and that is saying a lot about the state of my eating habits.  I have begun to sound like a broken record.  I am need of a change of scenery but not for the wrong reasons.  I have done a good job of putting things off for way too long.  Taking action is not easy for me.  I have no idea how or where to begin.  Lord, show me where I need to begin.  I have gotten too complacent and I ask for change.  Help me, for I know that I need to take better care of myself and to prove that I can take it more seriously.  I am self-conscious about my appearance and that is one of many reasons.  Lord, give me the wisdom and drive that I so need to overcome my complacency.  I give You praise and thanks that prayers are answered daily, including mine.  Thank You.


In Jesus' name,


Amen

My healing prayer

Lord,

I ask You for healing and for forgiveness of my sins.  I was in pain for much of the day and I had difficulty waking up.  I have not been feeling well as far having pain for a little while and I ask for healing.  I ask for healing of this, even though I have other illnesses is because I want to be more active.  I realize that I am or at least may be too young to have the conditions that I have.  Lord, I pray this in faith for not only this one, but for my whole body of conditions.  I thank You Lord for Your healing and for making me whole.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

To listen

Father,

Thank You for saving me.  I thank You that with You, all things are possible.  It took me a while to understand that for myself.  You have convicted me of that before.  I am sorry that I have always seem to fail.  I sometimes wonder if I can change.  I feel so alone sometimes and I finally realize that I need to be a better listener.  Just put it all down and just listen.  Lord, You have all of my attention.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus,

I thank You for salvation, that You have died on the cross and that You rose on the third day.  You are the Son of God, for it was the Father Himself that rose You from the dead.  I want to spend my days with You and to handle difficulty and to remain faithful to You.  I ask for a change in me, and for forgiveness of all of my sins.  I repent of these and all sins.  I ask for guidance, wisdom, and a sense of direction for I now truly understand what they mean.  Show me how to apply Your Word to my life.  May I also not forget to pray to You without asking amiss.  Jesus, I ask that You would take away all doubting about being saved and born again.  I often feel and believe that You are telling me something, but I don't know what.  I am listening and will continue to listen to You.  May I repent daily and may I also take up my cross and live for You and serve You all the days of my life.  May I never be ashamed.  Fill me with Your holy Spirit and may I be wise to the ways of the world, for there are those who will or have been deceiving professing believers.  Cleanse me, Lord Jesus, for all of my unrighteousness and make me a new creation in You.  May all of the old things pass away, so that all things will become You. May I not be ashamed and I ask that I will never have my name be blotted from the Book of Life.  I know and believe that You are coming for Your church.  In the meantime, may I be an enduring, obedient, repentant believer in Jesus Christ.  I thank You and I give You praise for salvation and forgiveness.

In Your name, Jesus,


Amen

Teach me how to pray

Jesus,

Teach me how to pray.  Teach me how not to ask amiss, no matter what the topic is.  I enjoy any kind of communication with You.  I want to do more than just unleash.  I want to pray and be respectful. I want to communicate how I really feel.  I have issues that even I need to be truthful about.  I have gotten lazy on myself and I feel like I don't measure up.  The truth is, I want to change because that is my need and desire.  I ask for help because I know that I cannot do it alone.  Going at it alone while struggling doesn't help me.  I ask for a change not just in my life, but also in me.  I ask You for wisdom and a since of direction.  Show me what I need to do because of said change.  I realize that I can do it.  Help me.

In Your name,


Amen

In the Name of Jesus

Lord,

Teach me how to love.  I looked in the mirror and I see how fat I am.  I need to lose weight.  My plan is only temporary.  However, I want a permanent plan.  I ask You for wisdom beyond my years.  I want to lose weight now more than ever.  Help me when it comes to love.  May the Holy Spirit teach me to love myself whatever my weight. Lord, show me that I am worthy.  I give You thanks and I give You praise.

In the name of Jesus Christ,

Importance without asking amiss

Lord,

I realize that I am putting too much pressure on myself.  I am listening to a song about stress and wanting to live for You.  Living like and being a believer hasn't always been easy however.  It is worth it.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  I thank You for saving me and for convicting me daily. I am not perfected but I thank You for peace of mind.  Forgive me for all of my sins including the sin of gluttony.  I really can't explain in detail why I engage in such mindless eating.  I ask that You would help me with my weight, which I am concerned about.  I am worried that I will never lose the weight nor keep it off.  I am over 300 pounds and have health problems.  I have been told that I need to take my health more seriously and they are right.  I need to be held accountable for how I take care of myself.  Help me to see myself for who I really am and what I need to do.

What seems small or big to me is even larger to You.  It took me a while to actually allow that to sink in.  I need some change period, including when it comes to my spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. I get out of control and I don't know how to stop.  Lord, give me wisdom and control of my habits.  Give me and guide my understanding of what is most important in life.  I realize that I may be asking amiss and I am truly sorry.  I realize also that my prayers can be selfish.  Without asking amiss, I ask for forgiveness of sins, peace of mind, wisdom, and accountability.  I live in a world that is larger than myself and I ask that You would help me to see that my view of myself, You, and the world could be what is holding me back.  Life is about more than food and drink.  Forgive me, Father, for I have been living as if I had little faith especially in You.  I ask for conviction from the Holy Spirit, for I thank You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for giving me peace of mind and again, for forgiveness.

I have grown tired of the same thing over and over again.  I would like to be able and strong enough to make different, and better choices as You show me how.  I ask that You would show me how. I realize that I am not of this world despite my living in it.  Help me to die to self daily, for I realize that I have not done so.  I also ask for wise counsel from You and for those who have wisdom.  Bless those who give counsel without providing ungodly counsel and an ungodly attitude in mind.  I have lived according to the flesh and I ask for forgiveness.  I repent of my sins.  I also ask that You would teach me that there are things that are more important to You than a change in my physical self, but also a change in my emotions, health, understanding, and spiritual matters.  Help me to see this world, and I give You thanks for thus far answering my prayers.  I give You praise for giving me clarity on things that are most important to me.

Thank You, In Jesus' name,


Amen

Telling the truth...

Father,

I ask that You would further convict me as I know You are there for me.  Thank You, for I am grateful for the peace of mind that I have.  I confess that I am a glutton and that I eat too much. I need to be held accountable for not only my eating habits, but also how I live my life.  Help me to keep my mind stayed on You, Lord.  I have been too comfortable and I am doing things that I have a hard time overcoming.  Lord, teach me Your ways and forgive me for all of my sins, including gluttony.  There are things that are difficult for me to do or to confess.  I can no longer take these things for granted for some of those things are embarrassing.  There are things that I have trouble doing that most other people take for granted.  They live life as if it is easier for them.  I don't know how they live, however.  I don't know their entire lives but they are thinner and by the looks of things, they seem to be less conscious about their size.  I may be wrong on this for maybe everyone has something they would like to change despite the fact that they may have shiny hair, a pretty face, or an enviable body.

I often don't see myself as beautiful physically because I am overweight.  Even if someone tells me about my looks and my personality, I have difficulty believing it.  I couldn't get a date for I was the overweight nerd who was made fun of.  That has been stuck to me.  I was never the girlfriend or the wife.  I have had crushes on other people and what has happened to me has been that is why. Father, I want to make changes not only in my life, but also in myself and how I see things.  I know that I am a sinner who is imperfect just like everyone else.  I want to see myself as a beautiful creation who is beautiful both inside and out.  Right now, I just don't have the confidence to see myself as beautiful, which has been a struggle.

I would like to know that I need to have a different relationship not only with food, but with the world at large, You, and myself.  I fail to continually have that relationship despite my prayer. Despite my prayer, I ask that You would produce a change in me.  I don't want to have this all-or-nothing mindset anymore.  I want and need to lose weight.  That has been my desire but I never saw weight loss in that way.  I have this goal and I am afraid that with the way I am currently eating, I will never reach this goal.  I am not sure that the route and the plan that I am going in is the one that You want for me.  If not, what do I need to do to go a different route and follow Your plan?  Cleanse me of my fear and my wrong relationship about food.  I would like to start over.  Without asking amiss, I thank You for listening to me.  Give me the faith that I so need to overcome all of the things that need to be overcome.  Also, I ask that You would make me even wiser when it comes to my health and I ask for guidance in how I life my entire life.  Give me a sense of direction.  Help me to see things as You have me to see them.  I give You thanks that You have allowed me to share and express my feelings through this petition.  Thank You.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Grateful for conviction

Lord Jesus,

I thank You that through the leading of the Holy Spirit that I know that I have a problem.  The problem is gluttony.  I have committed this sin today and for most of my life.  You have taught me that I can be an over comer in this world.  I thank You for convicting me and continue to do so.

In Your name,

Lord, I ask that You for help

Lord Jesus,

Forgive me for all of my sins.  I thank You for having the power to forgive sins.  Thank You also for saving me and for the gift of the Holy Spirit.  I have been writing about my plan to lose weight. However, I admit that I have done nothing with that yet.  My eating is out of control.  I admit that. I also admit that I need help losing weight.  I am no long anxious or fearful.  I thank You that my faith is strong.  I am anxious for nothing.  I give You thanks that my anxiety and fear are gone.  I have no doubt that my prayer has been or will be answered.  Thank You.  I need to lose weight, but I don't know where to begin.  I have been nauseated today.  I ask for healing and wholeness, Lord.  My eating is more of a need to eat chocolate and such, but it isn't a binge.  However my eating could be considered a bit out of control.  I overeat to stay awake.  I eat sometimes due to hunger.  I also overeat because, I have the opportunity to do so.  I know that I have bad habits such as eating unhealthy and not eating in moderation.  I know I need to change.  My mindset concerning food and drink now is about satisfying the flesh.  How do I satisfy You and die to self concerning this issue? I know that I am in need of help.  I ask for the tools that I need to lose weight and thus not satisfying the flesh but to grow spiritually.  Lord Jesus, I ask for Your help and for Your guidance and Your conviction in this matter.  I give You thanks and praise in Your name, Jesus.  Amen.

Overcoming these things...

Heavenly Father,

Forgive me for my anxiety.  Your word says to be anxious for nothing.  I need help overcoming my anxiety and my fear.  I ask for clarity in this situation and for focus so that I can be healthier and made whole.  My anxiety and fear are great because I want to lose weight, but I ask for the wisdom to carry it out.  You convicted me about my relationship with food and I would like to hold on to that knowledge.  I would like to join Weight Watchers or some other weight loss program whatever the cost.  However, I need provision, for I may not be able to afford some of these programs out there, no matter how effective they are.  The problem is, I am not sure if I am ready to lose weight.

My plan is to weigh 120 pounds, which is more than 60% of my body weight.  I have thought about weighing that much or that little before.  I have not been self-conscious enough about what I eat, nor have I done much effective exercise in a while.  The truth is outside of the fear and the anxiety, it hasn't sunk in.  I ask for a change not only in me, but also my mindset.  Help me to be transformed by the renewing of my mind, in every area of my life.  Lately You have convicted me about what I watch online and being more understanding of my relationship to food relative to what is going on in the world.  Lord, I am confused though I should not be.  I feel like I will never be ready and that I will never, ever change my mindset and thus, reach my goals.

I ask that You would speak to me, as well as my heart and soul.  Father, forgive me for all of my sins, for I while I am Yours, I still sin.  I confess that anxiety and fear are two of my biggest issues.  I feel like I am asking amiss, yet I feel like what seems small in this world is big to You.  That is what my faith is being built on.  I call on You and Your name, and I ask for forgiveness if I am asking amiss.  I know that You are not the Lord of worry, fear, anxiety, and confusion, for I am confused.  Thankfully, I have overcome doubt but I am truly sorry and I repent of my worries and cares.  Take my burdens away and lighten my load, for I am to learn from You and of You.  Help me to see what is most important when it comes to this and all matters. Increase my faith in all matters and I ask that You would lift my burdens, because Your yoke is easy even though I am not of the world,

I will still have problems.  I have many reasons why I need to lose weight and be ready to lose weight, Father, and that is why I am writing this to You.  All I ask is conviction, change, and an answer.  I need truth, Your truth.  Let me know that all is okay and all will be okay.  That is my petition, and I give You thanks for allowing me to present this request to You.  I praise You that You are the Lord who answers prayer and who will help me to overcome.  You are a God of understanding and You give grace to help in time of need, and I truly need Your help.  Give me guidance and healing in this and all situations.  In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Saturday, January 2, 2016

I know this.

Father,

My diet is poor.  That is obvious.  However, I know I need to lose weight.  That too is obvious.  I don't know why I need to lose weight.  I realize that I need to lose weight, but it hasn't registered. May it finally register in terms of why I need to lose weight.  I ask for help because I know I need help.  I realize that I have asked amiss, but I don't wish to take food and eating for granted.  Life is too short to worry about anything much less food and drink.  I thank You that I  have the food and drink needed to sustain me throughout the day.  I also ask for wisdom and guidance.  I have no idea what to do or how to lose weight.  I am not sure that I can afford Weight Watchers or any other program.  I need to be held accountable, but I am still waiting for an answer from You.  I cast everything over to You.  Help me to see that I am living on Your timetable and not mine, so I ask that You would grant me patience.  Make me wise about my health and health in general, so I ask for wisdom.  I want to be healthy and made whole, so I also ask for healing as well.  Lord, forgive me for having little faith as well as all of my other sins.  I also ask for financial help in this regard, if that is needed.  I need help in losing weight, I know this, but I am concerned that I am not patient enough to lose weight, so I also ask You for patience.  Lord, I ask that You would teach me Your ways not only concerning my health, but also in every area of Your life.  I give You praise, O Holy One, for I thank You for listening to me.  I believe in my heart that with You, all things are possible.  I pray this in faith.  In Jesus' name, Amen.

Friday, January 1, 2016

I have a goal in mind.

Heavenly Father,

I ask You for peace of mind.  You cannot give me that unless I ask.  You can't help me if I don't have enough faith to ask You for help.  I wonder if the phrase "You help those who help themselves" is a godly phrase.  Word for word, I know it isn't in the Bible, but is there something godly about that sentence?  I want and need help.  I want to lose weight, especially now.  I have put off losing weight until after the holidays.  Now I have no idea what to do because I have not lost weight during the holidays.  I gained weight and I want to take losing weight more seriously than ever.  I realize I have not lately and I don't want to gain anymore weight.  I have a Body Mass Index of about 60 and I would like to have it lowered, much, much lowered.  I want to have a healthy body weight but I also have a body type in mind.

I am just writing to You how I am feeling at the moment about my weight. I have an undertaking in mind that will be great, but I want to be healthy.  I realize that it will take a while and I don't want to jinx myself.  Without asking amiss, I ask for peace of mind and freedom from fear, doubt, worry, and anxiety.  Forgive me for all of my sins and for holding all of those things in and holding on to those things.  Neither of them have been productive.  In fact, I believe that is why I feel like I have failed.  I want to lose most of my body weight, but it is a healthy weight.  That is my set plan for now.  I also ask for guidance as to which plan I should choose.  Furthermore, I also ask that You would help me to focus on the task at hand and to grant me the patience that I need to go on and continue this journey.  Thank You for giving me the opportunity to present this request and I praise You for the wisdom that You have given me daily as I further ask for more wisdom.

In Jesus' name,


Amen
