Victory Over Your Sugar Cravings

DAY 5 OF 5

Recap and Live for Others

I hope and pray that something has clicked inside your mind and heart, and that you really are feeling like this is the time that you will have victory over your sugar cravings…and you won’t go back! Your thoughts matter and if you are not believing that you will have success, it won’t happen. You must believe that today is the day that you were set free from sugar.

There are so many reasons we should remove sugar from our diet. First and foremost, it is one of the best ways to stay healthy! When you are healthy, you are able to do so many wonderful activities, not to mention lose unwanted fat! It can help lower blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. If you remove sugar and add exercise to your life, you can increase your metabolism and strengthen your bones, not to mention fight off heart disease, dementia, or cancer…and it just makes you feel better!

God has had a plan to use you from the very beginning. He wants you to share His message and the love of Jesus to others. If there is anything that is getting in our way of doing God’s plan, we need to pack it up and remove it from our life. Sugar can cause brain fog, sleeplessness, and achy joints. It can lead to chronic illness mentioned earlier. All things that can keep us from going out and sharing the Good News. It takes strength and energy to get out there and make a difference in this world. You need to do everything you can to care for our body so that you can feel good and can go do His work. If you are not caring for your body, it is keeping you from being Christ’s hands and feet here on earth.

This has never been about getting on a diet. This is not about depriving you of something you love. This is about learning how to be healthy. This is about learning to make healthy choices going forward and making a permanent change in your life NOW. Faithful Workouts has so many healthy (sugar free) recipes on our website that will satisfy you and keep you ready to be on the front lines for Jesus.

Finish this race on earth knowing that you have done everything that you can to be obedient to God and He was able to use you for His glory. Who wouldn’t want to get to the gates of Heaven and hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” Matthew 25:23

Today is the day that you kicked sugar out of your life, and you never went back!

Prayer:

Lord, Give me the strength to make a permanent change in my life. I pray for a strong body to accomplish all that You have set before me to do. I believe that you will give me the power to end my sugar addiction. I find new strength in You. I will soar high like an eagle. I will run and not get weary; I will walk and not faint. I thank You that I am Your creation, and I am truly seen and loved by You. Amen.
