"Do everything in dependence on Me. The desire to act independently - apart from Me - springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from Me, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. My deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on Me in every situation. I move heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with Me in this training. Teaching you would be simple if I negated your free will or overwhelmed you with My Power. However, I love you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege I bestowed on you as My image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely, by relying on Me constantly. Thus you enjoy My Presence and My Peace.
John 15:5; Eph 6:10; Gen 1:26-27"
How can I relate this to my weight loss journey?
I need to be sure I am doing this in dependence on God. I know there is times I try and do this alone and I fail like crazy. I never realized though that when I do that it springs up pride and pride is a bad thing to have. Apart from God I can't do this journey. I believe that God has put me on this journey to not only get healthy but to learn to depend on Him in everything even what am I going to eat. He will do anything to accomplish me to depend on Him for everything. I am in training to do learn to do this as well as training for getting healthy. Sometimes I wish God would just take all this desires away, for sweets and food, but I see now, if He did I would not have a free will or I would not learn to depend on Him to overcome this addiction of sugar and food. I need to be more wise with my free-will.
"Good morning Father, Thank you for opening my eyes to a lot of things that causes me to fail in this journey. Thank you that you are always there to help me to accomplish this. I am so blessed. Father please help me to put my focus back on you when I am trying to do this on my own. Because it is so true that apart from You I can do nothing. Please help me with today. To take one day at a time. I love you Father. In Jesus Name, Amen."
