Losing weight God's way

Dear God,

I now have the motivation and desire to lose weight.  I weigh over 300 lbs and now there are things in life that have become harder to do.  I am embarrassed to tell You those things, but at least You know what they are.  I am not happy with gaining most if not all of my weight back.  I have stopped caring about myself and my weight.  I have allowed my frustrations to get the best of me.  I am frustrated still and I need Your guidance on the matter.  I need immediate help in this regard.  I want to lose weight, but I have no set goal to be honest with You.  Help me on setting a set goal, Lord.  I don't know how much I want to lose or to weigh in the long run.  I give You total and complete control over my life, affairs, and my situation.  Thank You for being able to solve my problems.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Need to start all over again

Dear Heavenly Father,

I am sorry for putting this off.  I meant to pray to You today and I ask for Your forgiveness.  I want to be closer to You, to have a closer walk with You.

I am concerned about my weight and my overall health.  There are moments when I feel that I am skating on thin ice.  I am not sure what I need to do.

All I know is that I lack self-control.  I am an overweight glutton with health issues.  However, I don't want my health issues to become health problems.  There are things that I cannot do that others take for granted. I didn't care nor did I take enough time to care about myself.  I am so concerned and I wish I never had this attitude.

I even lost the desire to lose weight.  Now I have gotten lost.  I don't know how to lose weight.  I am worried right.  Calm my fears and my worries.  I have doubts about my weight issues.  I cast my doubts over to You.  My weight is something that I care about and I want to show that I care about my health.  Losing weight is hard work.  Help me, Lord, to do what seems hard.

In Jesus' name,

Amen

Thank God for this day

Dear Lord,

Today was a good day.  I thank You for this day.  Thank You.

Issues

Dear Lord,

I have an issue within myself.  My weight has been a problem and I need help.  Give me the real desire and motivation that I need to lose weight.  It seems to me that I have all but lost my desire to lose weight.  For the time being, I wish to lose 20 lbs., but I have grown concerned.  I want to lose weight, but I am not sure how to go about it or where to begin.  I have a problem with binging and health issues.  I am not a healthy person and I feel like sometimes I am barely healthy.  I have grown tired of the wheezing and the lack of mobility.  I have given up and I don't wish to be defeated no longer.  God, help me.

Sincerely,

Cast my cares upon the Lord

Dear God,

Thank You for everything You have done for me.  I am so thankful that I have nothing to worry about. However, I have my concerns.  I thank You for knowing my cares and concerns.  I cast my concerns and cares over to You.  Now I have nothing to worry about.  Thank You, Lord.


Sincerely,

2014

Dear God,

You have been there throughout my life and it took me until recently to realize that.  I am sorry for that failure.  Forgive me for all of my sins and my failures.  Help me to be a better person this upcoming year.  I am just grateful to be alive this 2014.So far, I have a full stomach and an achy head, but I am still grateful. Life is just worth living.  Thank You.

Sincerely,
