When You Pray

"And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before."
Job 42:10

Have you ever stopped to think about all the times God has answered your prayers?  When I do, I wonder how I keep myself from doing anything else but praying throughout the day.  God has been so faithful in my life.  And truly most remarkably faithful in my weight loss and wellness journey.  I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that I never expected Him to move the way He did, and change me the way He did, that day I lay face down in my bedroom pleading with Him to step in and take over in my journey.
 I simply cried out in desperation.  
Finally coming to the realization, that even with the best meal plan in place, without Him, I would surely fail.  Friend that prayer was prayed in late 2005, and I still stand in awe of how He came to my rescue.  I believe He wants to do that for you today and everyday in this journey you call 'life'.  Just as God did for Job, I believe He wants to bless you with a healthy life, "and so much more."  Go to Him today.  Pray for Him to take over wherever you need Him to. Leading and guiding your every action, thought, word, and deed.  Pray for those that have hurt your heart to the point that you eat your emotions. Pray to overcome temptations, and stand strong in your battles. Pray that God would step in and fight for you and your family.
And sit back! Watch and be amazed at what the Lord will do when you pray!

Let's Pray.
Dear God,
I know You hear my prayer today.  I cannot do this alone.  I have tried and failed.  I no longer want to walk in wellness or any other area of my life alone. I'm asking you today, to step in and take over.  Lead me on this journey.  God I promise that as I reach each and every goal, avoiding temptations that were impossible for me in the past, I will give You all the glory, honor, and praise!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

E4M DAILY STRATEGY
When You Pray
The power of prayer in wellness and life has truly been revolutionary for me.  Whenever I sought the Lord with my whole heart, He surely answered, and I know He will do the same for you.  Below are some situations I had to begin praying about to find success in weight loss.  I encourage you; use these prayers in your own unique situations.  Expect God to show up and move mountains for you today.  But remember it can only happen when you pray.

1.  Pray for the people that frustrate your plans.  Those that sabotage without even knowing.  Bringing you candy, inviting you out for dinner.  Pray that God will open their eyes too, so that they can support you on this journey.

2.  Pray about the situations that cause you to eat emotionally.  The trivial day to day frustrations can wreak the most havoc on a weight loss journey.  Pray that God will help you deal with them in your prayer closet, not the pantry.
 
3.  Pray for the people that have hurt you.   People, who when you think of them, you simply want to curl up, hide and eat.  Pray for God to heal your heart.

4.  Pray about the situations you may not even be aware of at this moment.  Ask God to take over in those times Satan threatens to sneak up.  Always remember, you have access to the very same power that raised Jesus from the dead.  If the power of God can do that, don't you think it can keep you from a cookie?
