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.
