Day 13 Scripture: 2 Timothy 1: For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. Application: “I’d like to You can help me, Lord, but I’ve been overweight all my life.” That’s a spirit of timidity, and a poor excuse as to why God can’t help you. He gives to us the right as heirs to come to the throne of boldly with our requests. Try this one on size instead: “Lord God, I come to You and ask that which I cannot do by my own willpower. You have promised Your power, which is vast and limitless. You have promised love instead of the anger and hate I feel for myself and others as I drown myself in food. You have promised self-discipline, and that is what I seek. The discipline to escape from the bondage of food addiction and this form of self punishment toward myself in food overindulgence. It no longer satisfies, Lord, so satisfy me with the bounty of Your to forgive even myself as I learn the why to what drove me to food instead. Thank You for the deliverance and freedom that I am about to receive.” If you meant it, you will even have the secret desires of your heart---freedom from the past! Today is now a new day.Prayer: Lord God, sometimes only You can get away with the truth You speak into my life. Even when I wouldn’t admit to a problem with food, Your radiant light kept on penetrating the darkness within me and revealed that like cancer festering unbeknownst to me, I had a root of bitterness within me, even if it was directed at who I am, rather than who I want to be that caused me to satisfy myself in a hostile way toward my physical body. Restore me to health, O Lord and do not hold my past mistakes against me. Grant me healing, and I shall be healed, in Jesus’ name. Amen My Commitment Today: |
