PRAYER FOR DIETERS

  • Prayers

Holy Spirit, I want to lose weight, but I keep on eating, and eating.

Help me to understand myself. Why do I eat when I am not hungry? What is it that I am trying to satisfy or fill up?




My need for affection? My desire to feel full and strong? Am I confusing a feeling of weakness and inadequacy with hunger? Do I binge eat in order to smother my anger?

Please Holy Spirit, give me the peace of heart I need in order to understand me.

And help me to say “no” to myself, to control my urge to put something in my mouth, to acquire some self discipline.

Help me to understand that my “no” is really a “yes” to the person you are calling me to be.

Strengthen me to say “no” to myself and “yes” to You.

Amen.

    I have spent the last 54 years yo-yo dieting and feeling like such a failure and so unworthy of the good things in my life! I have tried every diet out there and I always end up heavier and more disgusted with myself! I have prayed for years for Divine Help to lose weight, but I always sabotage my efforts.

    Please add me to he list for prayers. Thank you and God Bless!
