Lord,
I am happy to have opened myself up to You. Thank You for giving me the opportunity to pour our my heart to You. I have wondered, however, who I am in Christ Jesus. Who am I really? Why am I here? What is God's purpose for me? What are my gifts and talents and how should I use them? I ask these questions because I have lived my life not as much as I think I should have. Forgive me, Father, for my sins. I have struggled and still struggle to this day, with sins. I feel like my sins are keeping You from answering my prayers. I have allowed the world to control me. I have allowed a lot of things and I ask that You would take me and love me still. I praise You for with You all, things are possible.
Sincerely,
Letters to God

Help me to be an overcomer.
Lord,
Oh no! Help me to overcome my fears about quitting. If I could blog, then I could exercise. Right now, I am afraid of failure and I am afraid to quit. Give me the wisdom and the strength to not quit and to not allow fear to take over. I am writing this because I had this plan of exercising daily and creating these meal plans. However, what I am left are meal plans I have difficulty following, and a mindset that says that I need to give up. Right now I feel like giving up. Losing weight is harder than I thought. My goal is to stay on this journey, but my goal is not to remain frustrated. I lost 9 lbs today and I am proud of myself. Really. I am so tired and so frustrated. I have grown tired of the frustration. How do I keep it simple? Show me, when it comes to meals and meal plans, where to begin. How do I have the energy to get back to exercise? Give me that strength back. I don't feel good and I feel so lazy right now. My goal is to lose weight and to follow a realistic plan Lord, I ask that You would give me the opportunity to renew my mind. I know and am aware that I need to see things differently. I don't want to "start over". I want to keep moving and I certainly don't wish to quit. I also ask for a change in mindset. I tend to see things one way and that has been unproductive. Well, I want to be productive, but I have no idea what to ask and when I need to start. Where do I begin?
Sincerely,

A "simple" prayer
Dear Jesus,
Help me to keep things simple. I wish things would come easier for me, but they don't. I wish I could express myself better. Thank You for Your answer. All I had to do is to keep it simple. I have no wisdom on how to do that so I ask You for wisdom. I also ask that You would forgive me of my sins. Show me how to do Your will.
In Your name,
Amen

I had a lazy moment today.
Heavenly Father,
There are those moments when I just don't feel like it. Those are the other moments when I am fearful that I will quit. It is as if I have forgotten to realize that exercise has been of great benefit for me. My weight is something that I want to come down. Maybe I do have these unrealistic expectations and that is why I have been so frustrated as of late. I guess that is how I feel about my life. I have such unrealistic expectations for myself.and I feel like I am a failure. I also feel like I am like here to say that I have no real idea what I really do with my life. It seems to me that I need a change in every area. I ask that You would strengthen my faith. Help me to be more patient. I also ask that You would remind me that I can conquer this fears and that I am stronger than I think. I thank You for those things, In Jesus' name, Amen.

The "answers" are not always in the details.
Father,
I do tend to sweat the small stuff, a lot. That is not good for my health and not just my physical health. I feel like just do me. That sounds good and all, but is it biblical? I don't think it is wise to live just for oneself. Is that the real definition of doing me. Does it leave out the fact that You are the Creator? There are just times when I have so many questions that I don't immediately have the answer to. That has been happening a lot over the years. It seems that it doesn't matter and in the grand scheme of things it is true, but the details do matter to me. Those details are the things that I fight with on a daily basis. Right now, I am thinking about a pic in which a man poisons his wife because she cheated with four men. I don't know how to deal with that photo. In the grand scheme of things, it is just a fictional story. However the details give me questions in spite of the fact the answers are already there. All I have to say is, Lord, I leave the details in Your hands.
Thank You for answering my prayer and relieving my stress.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

A Wise Prayer
God,
Give me Your wisdom. I could use some of it. I have been frustrated lately about my diet and about my weight. I am here to write that I am feeling much better about what has been negative. I ask that You would change my mindset. Also, I ask that You would renew my mind that I may continue to be wise. Wisdom is truly like a lady. She is truly valuable. I thank You, Lord, for that wisdom.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
