SUBMIT TO GOD: Have you ever thought about submitting your weight loss plan and goals to God? Can you imagine what it would look like? Admitting to Him your inability to do it without him? Asking Him to be your partner? These are all forms of submission. If we could lose weight (or rid ourselves of any other stumbling block) on our own, then we would not need God. Strong willpower, self-discipline, and self-control may help you reach your goal, but chances are the journey will not be enjoyable and definitely not sustainable. Instead of trying to do things your way and getting frustrated when things don’t work out just call on God. Submit your plans and goals to Him. God gives us a beautiful illustration of how He wants us to live with Him. So starting today, refuse to take another step in your health program without God.
CHALLENGE: List 5-10 behaviors/actions that your are engaging in that show your lack of submission in your weight loss program (or any other health changes). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you and read them aloud.
This is one thing I am trying to become better at especially since trying to kill of my Candida has been very, VERY hard for me mentally, physically and emotionally. Some days I am my worst enemy but when I turn to God I feel at ease and realize that I am going through this for a reason and He will help me overcome this battle. I strongly encourage you to turn to God and tell Him all your goals and desires for your health. He is all ears to you and can’t wait to hear what you have to say.
