Prayers for Weight Loss & Body Image IssuesНамуна

Focus verses: Psalm 139:23-24, Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Focus thoughts: God knows your thoughts. He knows your struggles. You may not be aware of Him right now but whenever you cry out for Him, He is near. He bends down and listens to you. He counts and collects your tears. Confess your inadequacies to Him. He knows you can’t do this healthy lifestyle journey on your own. He loves it when you are dependent on Him. He can heal you and direct you towards the healthy eating changes you need to make. And if you have body image issues, He can heal those too. Let Him in, He loves you like you are, but He loves you so much that He doesn’t want to leave you unchanged. He wants to mold and shape you into the likeness of Jesus.

Pray: Father, I am grateful for your love and grace. Thank you for your revelation of my sins and for how you show me changes I need to make. Help me to overcome my inner wounds and release me of the deep anxiousness I’m feeling right now. My fears have kept me in bondage. Release me from the lies I’ve believed and show me the truth of your loving nature. Help me to see you for who you truly are and clear up my blurred eyesight. I’ll admit I’ve let other ideas and idols get in the way of our relationship. Rid me of any wrong thoughts and enlighten my understanding of your grace. Tear down the walls and barriers that have kept me from receiving your healing for my hurts and hang ups.

Thank you, Father, for the healing in my heart and I receive your healing by faith. Thank you for the restoration and for the transformation only you can give. Thank you for the dreams and the plans you have for me. I trust you to do what only you can do. Apply your mercy upon my soul. Rid me of any wrong ideals and enlighten my understanding. Thank you for your restoration. Thank you for your plans for me. In Jesus name, Amen.
