prayer for overeating | christian weight loss

The Serenity Prayer is not your typical prayer. The power within the prayer are the guided phrases of meditation to examine the difficulties you are being challenged with at this very moment. As Christians we know that overeating is not the root of our problem right? So why then do you need to pray for overeating? Let's take a deeper look. 

Your problem is not food. It's what's eating you! Be it a tragedy that happened in the past, an ongoing hardship you are enduring or your worried about the future. This prayer is your road to healing the struggle of overeating. I believe this prayer is life changing...and a good place to start if you don't know HOW to pray in your christian weight loss journey. 

I love the Serenity Prayer. I have made many mistakes as part of my growth and development and my relationship with God.  *This prayer has helped me throughout my life especially when I faced the challenges of overeating during my healing process.

I have to rely on God to help me make wise choices and keep going back to Him in daily prayer for strength. My road to health is found in prayer...and then is where truth is found. God wants to heal you! 

Acceptance helps us see that we cannot blame others, or God for our feelings. Self-pity, excuses and frustration doesn’t help either. God does not want this for you and I. He longs to see us happy and living a healthy Christian life to the full.

We want to make changes in how we eat to feel better in every possible way. I want to be able to enjoy walking, riding a bike or kayaking and the many things I loved doing as a kid. There’s a big world out there that is waiting to be a place of fun. Without health we can’t enjoy it. So I realize I need to keep going back to God when I start binge eating or overeating. Only God can reveal my weak spots and guide me in my weight loss and healthy eating journey. 

When it comes to what we consume we need to accept that if we keep eating junk food and cupcakes, candy bars and ice cream full of sugar we will not lose the weight that we want to lose and then let our mind and emotions get out of whack again.

Did this prayer hit home? Changing the way we eat is not easy. Praying this Prayer has helped me to grow in my faith to change the things I can through the power of the Holy Spirit. That's why I went ahead and wrote this very personal prayer of my own so you can be inspired by my personal thoughts and feelings of fighting my cravings when tempted to overeat on weekends and social gatherings. I know you want to let go of tons of negative energy and let God be in control of YOUR LIFE. Everyday is a challenge and a "NEW BEGINNING".
