1 Timothy 4:8
"For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come."
Every moment is an opportunity for temptation and an opportunity to overcome old habits and mindsets. This has become very obvious to me as I am attempting to not eat empty calories. I completely avoided the chip/soda aisle at the store yesterday and bought healthy fresh food. This morning I spied a random snack cake on the kitchen counter and had an overwhelming need to devour it, I didn't. . . that time. I suppose removing temptation is key to overcoming it in some degree; although, you never know when a random snack cake is going to turn up. I find it disconcerting that such a huge portion of the world is deprived of basic necessary food and my problem is that I consume too much of it. Rather disgusting. I can't do this alone, that is sure.
Lord, in Jesus name, I pray that you turn my heart toward You completely and the things that are important to You. I pray for forgiveness and health. Please teach me to not live in excess in all things. I pray that you feed the hungry and restore health to the nations. Please use me in the way that You have deemed. Help. . .
Amen
