“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
I have been in a spiritual battle with food for as long as I can remember. I’m done. I’m just done. I’ve come to the end of myself. I drop before God.
I come to the mercy seat. I lay down my addiction to food. I ask God for His help. I cannot do this in my own strength. No weight loss program or diet plan can make this change in me but for God alone. I am a Christian and God’s Holy Spirit resides within me. God has given me a Spirit of power, love and self-control. God has equipped me (through His Holy Spirit) with everything I need to defeat the stronghold of gluttony. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13
Proverbs 27:17 says “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Putting my daily blog out before others will help strengthen me in this fight. Accountability has worked with me before in the past with weight loss and I know it will help me now. Each evening, I will blog my food intake for that day and how much I weigh that day. I will post my blog on Facebook. If you feel so inclined, I could use your prayers and your encouragement. Thank you all, and God bless.
Prayer: “God, I offer myself to Thee – To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life.” — Third Step Prayer
