Help - and Help is one His way!

Last night I got a child's side of spagetti and had about half, maybe a little more than that. I was "done" eating, but then I ate a cinnamon bread stick with icing from my daughter's selection and that was SOOO good. I felt overly full that night, but not all the way grossed or anything.

This morning at the breakfast bar selection at the hotel, I had TWO of their cinnamon rolls. They are SOOOO good and warm and I get to thinking that this is some kind of opportunity that isn't going to be lasting for long. Now I am over-eating, but I know whom I have believed, and I know that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him unto that day (from Timothy).

Dear Father, I give You my body and You know that I don't know how to eat the way that I should. You know how I am weak. My flesh is weak. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Help me to treat my body the way that it should be treated, with love and care, and help me to think about food in a sober and accurate way. Show Your sustaining ability through my body, in how You are faithful and are able to make all grace abound unto me. Lord, on my own, I can not eat the way that I know that I ought, because my flesh is powerless over my idols and my addictions, but I give You my flesh. Forgive me for the two cinnamon rolls that I ate, and even that I know You can turn into not that big of a deal, because it is habits and repeated actions that get us into trouble, and not one little slip. Father, I am very glad that currently my body is almost the right way, in terms of health and body image, but let not my pride fool me. Let me see the wretched and weak state that I am in. Let me be thankful and humble. Lord, I am going on and on and on because You know that I am in a desperate situation of need. You know that I am like a person hanging on to a piece of wood in the cold sea after the Titanic has sunk. To whom can I go? I shall go unto my Lord and my King, for He will help me. He is my tower and my strength. He is my refuge. My God is there for me. He is my help in times of trouble. And Lord, You know that without You I am obese. And You love the person inside, whether or not one is obese, but You have set us free from the power of sin and death and when Christ has set you free, do not let yourself be placed under a yoke of bondage again. Jesus, fill me and go with me. After this trip is over, let me be at least the same weight that I was before I started so I don't have to have gone backwards. In Jesus' name, Amen. Give us wisdom and insight, Your strength and help us to receive it.
