Father,
I believed that yesterday, I have been honest. However, I believe now that I have been asking amiss. I need to take care of my body. I know how to do that. I have made the conscious choice not to do it. I have made no plans to better myself and I want to better myself. I would like nothing more than to change. I need to know that excuses and fear are things that I have allowed to hold me back. I don't want that anymore. I not only ask for increased faith, freedom from fear and doubt, but I also ask You for healing. I believe that exercise could also be used for healing. I need to take better care of myself. I look back and I see a person who has potential. I also see that I procrastinate too much. It would be nice to have the tenacity of a trainer, the knowledge of a chef, and the wisdom and faith of people who have made accomplishments as far as exercise and taking care of my overall self. I have the knowledge that I need to exercise, but I ask You for the wisdom to have and to live beyond my years on this planet. I also ask for Godly awareness. Open my eyes and give me a fresh pair of eyes so that I no longer see exercise as drudgery, as a chore. I want to learn to love and appreciate exercise and the benefits of exercise. I want to listen to the doctor's advice and actually do it. Change me and use me, Lord. Help me to not focus on what is fleshly but to live a life that is pleasing to You. It sounded weird for now, but my prayer is that I don't ask amiss, even for a topic like exercise. I also ask for the motivation that I so need to exercise. I want to be fit and finally in shape. Give me and teach me how to love myself and respect myself, regardless of size. I believe that that is one motivation to exercise. Most of all, I also ask not just for a healthy and healing, but for a healthy mind and a healthy relationship with You, regardless if I weigh over 300 pounds or only 100 pounds. I thank You for giving me the opportunity to listen and answer prayers. I praise You and give You thanks that I feel so much better since writing this prayer. Thank You,
In Jesus' name,
Amen
