Proverbs 16:3
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
Life happens, and while we may set our minds on a course, there is certainly more than one stray wind that will present the opportunity for us to veer. In order to succeed I know that I must turn everything over to God and listen to Him when my flesh protests. We live in physical bodies that become tired, hungry and sometimes overwhelmed. Our enemy knows this and will use our flesh against us if we are not vigilant. Our flesh says, "I'm tired, I'm unhappy, sometimes it is too much to care." God understands this dilemma of the flesh and is offering us His strength and His stamina. So maybe I avoided the temptation to eat that ice cream, I know that I need to exercise, but I am exhausted, Lord I am weak but in You I can find strength.
Lord, today I turn my entire life back over to You. I repent for taking it back in increments. I am helpless and hopeless without You. Please cover me and enable me to continue to become healthier and shed these pounds, please lower my blood pressure and cause me to rise out of the muddle I am in. I know You are faithful. Please fix the things that I have broken and show me Your will for my life. Amen.
