A Weight Loss Prayer

Dear God,

I admit I have come to both love and hate the word "diet". On one hand, it represents hope for change. On the other, it's like a sign flashing "failure ahead"! I don't want to embark on another faulty plan, Lord. I want to embark on a journey with you, that is led by you and depends on your power. I can do nothing on my own! Show me the path that will enable me to change. Show me, as only you can, what works for me, what is healthy for me.

I want to think of this venture in positive terms, Lord - not that I am signing up to be miserable or in want. I want to learn to feed my body what it truly needs, when it truly needs it. And to feed my soul with the Bread of Life - YOU!

Today, I place my future, my failures, my setbacks, all my hopes, dreams and plans into your hands. There alone I will find meaning and true success in my life.

Amen!
