"Living in dependence on Me is a glorious adventure. Most people scurry around busily, trying to accomplish things through their own strength and ability. Some succeed enormously; others fail miserably. But both groups miss what life is meant to be living and working in collaboration with Me.
When you depend on Me continually, your whole perspective changes. You see miracles happening all around, while others see only natural occurrences and "coincidences." You begin each day with joyful expectation, watching to see what I will do. You accept weakness as a gift from Me, knowing that My Power plugs in most readily to consecrated weakness. You keep your plans tentative, knowing that My plans are far superior. You consciously live, move, and have your being in Me, desiring that I live in you. I in you, and you in Me. This is the intimate adventure I offer you.
2 Cor 12:9-10; Acts 17:28; Col 2:6-7; John 14:20"
How can I relate this to my weight loss journey?
I have to live totally dependant on God. Sometimes I still find myself trying to do things in my own strength. I can't be doing that. I lose this battle in the weight loss journey. I can't do it on my own.
"Good morning Father, I feel like I am failing like crazy Father. I just don't know what else to do. I can't do this on my own. Please help me and guide me. Give me your strength. I love you Father, In Jesus name, Amen."
What do you get out of this?
