"Be prepared to suffer for Me, in My Name. All suffering has meaning in My kingdom. Pain and problems are opportunites to demonstrate your trust in Me. Bearing your circumstances bravely - even thanking Me for them - is one of the highest forms of praise. This sacrifice of thanksgiving rings golden-toned bells of Joy throughout heavenly realms. On earth also, your patient suffering sends out ripples of good tidings in ever-widening circles.
When suffering strikes, remember that I am sovereign and that I can bring good out of everything. Do not try to run from pain or hide from problems. Instead, accept adversity in My Name, offering it up to Me for My purposes. Thus your suffering gains meaning and draws you closer to Me. Joy emerges from the ashes of adversity through your trust and thankfulness.
James 1:2-4; Ps 107:21-22"
How can I relate this to my weight loss journey?
This is a hard one. No one likes to go through suffering and pain. I for one think I have have had enough for a life time already. But life doesn't work that way. That is why I have to work through in moment learning to trust God in the midst and not turn to food for comfort.
"Good Morning Father, You are great and awesome. Thank you for everything in my life. Please have your way in me. Make me the person you want me to be. I love you Father. Please help me make the right decisions today. In Jesus Name Amen."
