Dear Heavenly Father,
Today has been pretty decent. I would like to know how to spend my time exercising instead of napping. I do sleep a lot. I have other goals in mind and I would like to keep to those goals. I have gained almost all of my weight back. I have had issues for a long time and I know You know about my struggles in advance. God, all I ask is that You would help me. I am investing in this and I don't wish for it to go down the drain. I don't want to waste time or waste my investment on doing just anything. I want to be able to improve. It seems easy but things don't come easy for me. Help me. Continue to motivate me and give me the will and energy to lose weight. I thank You for doing so.
Sincerely,
Letters to God

Help with conquering anxiety and fear
Lord,
I cannot believe that I am praying about this. I am asking You to help me allow to experience my anxiety. It is getting in the way of living. I have been fearful and anxious for so long, that I forgot what it is like to actually experience things. I have been safe and comfortable. Last made I was incredibly uncomfortable when I tried to sleep. Little did I know that what was bothering me no longer bothers me. Thank You for answering my prayers. I really do appreciate it. Help me to overcome low self-esteem and fear issues. I need help facing my fears, but I don't know what I need to do. Give me the strength and wisdom to overcome my fears, whatever they are. I feel so great right now. I am here to express my gratitude. I am free so far. I have some idea about encountering things that I fear, including triggers to new and maybe even scarier obsessive thoughts. I don't wish to avoid things anymore. I rather just live life to the fullest. Help me with this.
Sincerely,

Thank You, Jesus
Dear Heavenly Father,
What has just happened I hope to never take for granted ever again. Thank You for everything. Thank You...I have no words to describe how thankful I am. There are issues that I have learned or am learning to deal with that I feel can be overcome. I think that I can make it, without all of the fears. I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. I don't feel that way now and I hope that I don't feel that way anytime soon. Thank You, Jesus.

Application is difficult
Dear God,
Even though my diet is bad, I have done a better job today of logging in and not eating as much as I did. Applying myself is hard. Why? I don't know. What do I have to be afraid of? I wish applying myself was so much easier. I guess I need to be more patient. I have not been pain free today. I have had ankle pain so that affected my walking and stomach pain, so it may have been nausea or bad foods. I also had a moment today where I admit to spending too much on food and not enough on what I really want and need. I wonder how much money I could save if I were spend less money. I need wisdom and guidance in those areas. I also need healing, Lord. I want to overcome my fears, but I don't know how. I need further help, Lord. Thank You in advance for doing these things for me.

Important issues such as trafficking.
Dear God,
You are my love song. I didn't understand that at first, but that song is so comforting and so relaxing. It is supposed to speak to my heart but spoke to my mind instead. I believe that love songs are not only about love, but the joy of love. It uplifts and speaks to those who wish to be inspired. I don't normally go this deep whenever I listen to a song, but I am assuming that is what the song means.
I realize that I am in need of help. I don't want to get frustrated. I want to learn and to grow. I don't think I am neither learning nor growing. My spiritual life seems to be up and down and my health while improved, I am afraid will be compromised by a continually bad diet. Give me the strength and motivation to lose weight and keep it off. I realize that I needed to have my own reasons to lose weight and I saw what could be my future and I didn't want any part of that. Help me to keep things simpler by applying what I have "learned" to my current diet and lack of exercise routine. I feel like giving up sometimes, but I am going to move on. I want to learn what to eat, how to deal with food triggers, when to eat, and how to eat. Lord, give me the guidance as only You can, to do what I would like to do because of my health and other matters.
I was listening to the radio about children in India being a part of the human trafficking trade. That is just so awful. I wonder if it is too much to say this, but I wonder if that what is what like for my ancestors, being trafficked into a strange world where the peoples usually did not look like them, talk or even think like them. I personally cannot imagine what it was like for those who were sold as sex slaves or just slaves period. In the US, slavery of nearly an entire race is not an issue, but enslavement of men, women, and children are still being victimized by human trafficking. Lord, what can I do to help? Everytime I read or hear about this, it seems like I could do more and that You would intervene somehow. I wish that no one was being trafficked or sold. Lord, forgive those who benefit and take part in the trafficking of others for they will have their "reward" or "punishment". Help and save those, Jesus, who are being trafficked. May their cries not be unheard.
Sincerely,

Today was even better than yesterday
Dear God,
Thank You. I am tired yes, but I am not down. All is well on the home front. I am not down because I realize that I take things too personally. I have held some things so close to home that I sometimes forget that Jesus was the Brunt of evil in the world. I turn those things that threaten to swallow me up in the world and I surrender that to You..
I am listening to a song about You being a love song. My passion for You is great, but because of me, obviously, there is something lacking. I feel alone at times and at other times there is a spiritual desert. I wish I knew exactly what it is. How much help would reading a Bible be? Studying? Listening to music?
I need to not allow myself to get caught up in the things of the world. Sometimes I do and it makes my mind a bit frazzled at times.
Help me to relax at least this once, Lord. I didn't realize that I had so many issues yet so few problems. I love waxing poetic like I just did, but it is not about me. I wish I could just be a fan or just someone who didn't spend much of the day going online and looking at pictures or reading gossip about whatever star is on my mind. Change me, Lord, into the person that You want me to be. I don't want or need to be what You want me to be. Guide me and help me to live a holy and righteous life. I ask for the Holy Spirit for conviction and guidance.
Thank You.

Tired and down
Dear God,
I am doing okay, yet I am down and I am tired. I turn those things over to You. How come it seems things just don't come easy for me? I wish that they did. I want to lose weight but I don't know how to apply the simplest weight loss principles to my daily life. Help me, Lord, to do the same thing with Your word. I am okay now since I have typed this to You.
