A Prayer to Lose Weight
Guide me lord, as I strive to lose weight
You are my light and my anchor, and with
you I know all things are possible.
Help me this day to make healthy choices and
give me the strength to fight against destructive
cravings that negatively effect my health.

and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
As I bow before you today, raise me up
help me towards my goals.
I have been taught that anything that replaces
God is an idol. Help me to reject any unhealthy
habit in which I seek false comfort. For you
are my one true comfort and salvation.
In your name I pray, Amen.

Thank you, Father for listening to my plea. I pray this with all Your angels. Amen.
