Just as the father with the boy possessed by a demon spirit, I cry out to You "I believe, help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:17-25) Lord, I cannot accomplish anything without You. I know you can complete a good work in me in this weight loss - help me to believe it.
You are YAHWEH - and I ask that You create in me a clean heart. Restore the joy of my salvation. Forgive me for the many times I fall short. Father, give me the courage and the strength I need today to overcome the stronghold of food in my life.
Forgive me for making food a graven image - an idol - that I have worshiped. Have mercy on me Lord. Prepare my heart, my mind, my spirit and my body to be Your sanctuary. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made - You have knit me together. There is no unseen thing in me - Lord the things I think I hide in the darkness, You have already seen, and yet you love me in spite of them.
You are Awesome and Mighty. Hear my heart's cry and save me ... from myself. Help me to make good decisions today. Help me to move more today than I did yesterday. I love You Lord. I want You to receive all the glory in the victories I have. Thank You in advance for the victories You have set out for me!
In the Precious Name of Jesus I pray -
AMEN
