"There is a mighty battle going on for control of your mind. Heaven and earth intersect in your mind; the tugs of both spheres influence your thinking. I created you with the capacity to experience foretastes of heaven. When you shut out the world and focus on My Presence, you can enjoy sitting with Me in heavenly realms. This is an incredible privilege reserved for precious ones who belong to Me and seek My Face. Your greatest strength is your desire to spend time communing with Me. As you concentrate on Me, My Spirit fills your mind with Life and Peace.
The world exerts a downward pull on your thoughts. Media bombard you with greed, lust, and cynicism. When you face these things, pray for protection and discernment. Stay in continual communication with Me whenever you walk through the wastelands of this world. Refuse to worry, because this form of worldiness will weigh you down and block awareness of My Presence. Stay alert, recognizing the battle being waged against your mind. Look forward to an eternity of strife-free liivng, reserved for you in heaven.
Eph 2:6; Ps 27:8; Rom 8:6; 1 John 2:15-17"
How can I relate this to my weight loss journey?
There is a battle going on for my health, not just my spiritual life. Sometimes it seems to be raging on more than others. Every morning it is a content battle to get up and go work out and this is the first morning I have gotten up in time to go. I need to focus on God during these times and why He has me doing this.
"Good Morning Father, thank you for helping me get up this morning. You are awesome. Please help me make the best decisions for today. I love you Father, In Jesus Name, Amen."
