"I am a God who heals. I heal broken bodies, broken minds, broken hearts, broken lives, and broken relationships. My very Presence has immense healing powers. You cannot live close to Me without experiencing some degree of healing. However, it is also true that you have not because you ask not. You receive the healing that flows naturally from My Presence, whether you seek it or not. But there is more - much more - available to those who ask.

The first step in receiving healing is to live ever so close to Me. The benefits of this practice are too numerous to list. As you grow ore and more intimate with Me, I reveal My will to you more directly. When the time is right, I prompt you to ask for healing of some brokenness in you or in another person. The healing may be instantaneous, or it may be a process. That is up to Me. Your part is to trust Me fully and to thank Me for the restoration that has begun.

I rarely heal all the brokenness in a person's life. Even My servant Paul was told, "My grace is sufficient for you," when he sought healing for the thorn in his flesh. Nonetheless, much healing is available to those whose lives are intimately interwoven with Mine. Ask, and you will receive.

Ps 103:3; James 4:2; 2 Cor 12:7-9: Matthew 7:7"

How can I relate this to my weight loss journey?

For me last Friday I realized that I will never finish this weight loss journey without dealing with some of my hurts from my pass. I need to let God do the healing in me. One of the ways of doing that is doing this devotion, to get closer to God. I have walk with Christ for most of my life, but we all can get closer to Him. Once I get healing, then I will learn not to turn to food to comfort my pain.

"Good Morning Father, thank you for being there and helping me on this journey. You have revealed so much to me in this past week of the areas I am needing healing in. Please continue doing the healing. I love you so much, Father. Draw me closer to you. In Jesus Name, Amen"

    LORD THIS IS NEEDED TODAY!!!1

    I had a patient complain because I was correctly doing my job!! ( I work at a front desk) She came in stating that the Dr called her last night and wanted to speak to her before her chemo treatment. She was speaking to another co-worker that is new so I kindly jumped in asking the important questions like if she was for certain that he wanted to see her here or at the chemo center. So she became agitated that I was asking her these questions so I told the co-worker that it would be best if she called Dr. Weng. She proceeds to say "Well someone needs to be fired, her attitude was very rude" ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! I nicely asked all the questions that anyone would ask in my situation!! She proceeds to ask for my manager and I don't know what transpired with that because I haven't seen my manager. I love my job but I can't stand people whose soul purpose in life is to be miserable. I always say that some people can get sick and others can not. But I think this woman was miserable before her cancer diagnosis and is currently still miserable. I always try to sympathize with the patients (I've had family members go through cancer I do understand) but some people are just miserable people.

    I pray today that I have the strength and courage to deal with my situation today and the days that will follow.
