Day 7
Lord, help me listen to You. I do need to talk with You. But most important of all, help me to listen as You lead.
Yesterday, even though I’ve followed Your basic instructions for my eating I didn’t listen. Therefore this morning the scales went up. Lord, I know why. Not only was it wrong food choices but I didn’t stop eating when You led me to. Open my ears and my heart to listen more intently.
Last night, I ate left over pasta with chicken and broccoli. You spoke to my heart to stop eating because I was full. But I looked at my plate and there was still quite a bit left.
Then my thoughts came. Since this was a half portion leftover from another meal, I rationalized and felt entitled. So I ate it all.
The real issue is, I got full before I finished eating what was on my plate. You tried to lead me not to eat it all, but I ate all of it anyway. As a result, weight gain.
Lesson learned: It doesn’t matter if it’s a half portion. When full, stop eating.
Help me be willing to stop eating when my body feels full. Most of all Lord, help me follow as you lead no matter what my feelings or thoughts are.
I’ve asked You to remove the love of food from my heart and You were trying to answer my prayer. But I still insisted on my way. Help me listen and follow Your way, Your will in all things.
Help me to listen, trust and obey. I want to be full of You instead of food.
Child, when you let go of seeking your food pleasures then I can fill you with the pleasure of My Presence. I want to fill your heart with My love, not your food.
