My contract for weight loss

Dear God,
Today is the first day of my contract that I don't plan or wish to break.  I want to do well and just eat healthy and lose weight.  I want to lose weight because I need to lose weight.  Help me to be mindful of others who have issues with food.  There are so many who don't have the most loving relationship with food as I do.  Help me to remember what will happen once I lose the weight and why I wish to lose weight in the first place.  I believe that this contract will be of great help to me. 

I even exercised today for a few minutes.  It felt great to do so.  I never thought I could do it because of my mother's views.  However I was wrong.  It felt great.  I feel like I have lost a few inches just walking.  I am very happy with myself.

Forgive me for not being honest with myself and with others.  I wish that I could have been honest yesterday.  I would like to walk a mile in my own shoes while at the same time walk a mile in others. Thank You for all that You have done for me.  I will continually and I will ask for Your guidance and Your wisdom.  I want to lose this extra weight for You and for myself.

Sincerely,

Letters to God

Growing pains

I am doing better today though I still have pains.  Tomorrow I will exercise and view exercise as fun and not as a chore.  Help me with my mindset.  Help me to overcome fear.  Remove all stumbling blocks that will cause me to fail.  Prove Ryedeena right, Lord.  Help me.

In Jesus' name,

Amen

My back is okay for now

Dear God,

I have been feeling better as of late.  I have been waiting for my prescription to arrive in the mail today.  It has yet to arrive so I should expect it tomorrow.  I have a lot of information at my disposal yet I have shown little improvement compared to what I want to do.  As You know, I have PCOS.  I want to be healed from that and from diabetes.  PCOS has done me no good though I have to admit that I have learned a lot about my health.  I take my health very seriously but right now I don't know where to begin.  Show me where to begin?  Help me to lose weight.  Heal me, Jesus. 

Sincerely,

My back

Dear God,

I finally know what is wrong with my back.  It is a degenerative age related condition.  I have to lose weight and I will keep it off.  I need to be more patient and more caring when it comes to my health.  Help me to lose weight and not to be obsessed with food.  Teach me how to lose weight, eat in moderation, and give me the patience to lose the weight that I need to lose.  I need, want, and desire to lose weight.  Help me, Lord.  Help me to overcome my fears and my doubts.  I cast my cares upon You and I thank You that You care for me.  I am burdened with the cares of this life and I have grown weary.  Give me the guidance that I need to be healthy, and to eat healthy, for I admit that I have not done a great job of taking of myself.  I would like to begin.  Show me where to begin.

Thank You,

Sincerely,

Psalm 121

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;
⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The Lord watches over you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

⁷ The Lord will keep you from all harm—
    he will watch over your life;
⁸ the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore.

Help me

Dear God,
I have a lot on my plate and a lot on my mind.  Help me. 

In Jesus' name,
Amen

Simple prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please.  Help me to do what is hard.  Help me not to worry.  Help me not to fret.  God, help me.

In Jesus' name,

Amen
