So Lord, what can I do to break this cycle of losing weight, binge eat, gaining weight, experience sorrow, repent, lose weight, binge, and repeat again?
Child, I’ll break this cycle for you.
But Lord, how? What can I do? Continue reading Break This Cycle

Lord, in this verse You were talking to “Doubting Thomas” after You revealed Yourself to him.
But now I’m asking for help. Help me hold on and keep believing those scales will go down.

Buffets-tools of Satan? I think so. As I looked back over time, I then realized weight gain started when we were on that cruise ship. All those buffets, so many options and so much food. Fill your plate. Go back for seconds. Eat as many desserts as your hearts desires. Greed is encouraged. Lord, buffets-tools of Satan? Yes, I think it’s so. Lord, what do You say? Continue reading Buffets-Tools of Satan?
Child, know that you’re not a failure. For you are Mine and I will forgive all your failures, but you are not a failure. Your victory is here now. Continue reading You Are Not A Failure
Be confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6 NKJV 
Lord, here I am with crumbs on my face. You’ve blessed me so much and yet I have food all over me. (*Don’t worry- This was hand-written last month.) But Lord, what would You like to talk about? Continue reading Be Confident
Child , I already have your victory planned. You’re going to win this battle and the war too.
Thank you Lord. But I don’t understand why You don’t give up on me? Continue reading Your Victory Planned
. . . When I called, You answered me and You strengthened me with strength (mighty and inflexibility to temptation) in my inner self. Psalm 138:3 AMPC
Lord, what do You want to talk about?
You, I want you.
Sir? What about me?
One day at a time, one moment at a time, focus on My Presence for I am with you leading and guiding you each step of the way.
As I look back on my life Lord, I’ve made so many wrong choices and so many mistakes. I’ve messed up so much, and lost so many opportunities with my negative thinking. You’ve opened doors for me. Then I shut them with my stinking thinking.
But Child, come to Me now. Humble yourself before Me. Seek My will. Ask and you’ll receive My direction for all that concerns you. I’ll lead you if you’ll listen. Child, I’m here for you. Just come to Me in humble adoration for I am your source. I am your all. If you listen, I will lead. 
To begin with Lord, open my ears so I can hear Your voice as You speak to my heart. Then help me to listen. At times I’ve been so messed up. So Lord, I need You.
Child, I’m here for you and I love you. All you see now are your failures. but I’m an expert at turning failures inside out. Then I create success and victory out of those failures. So rejoice if you consider your life a failure, for now I have something to work with- you!
When I cried out for help, You answered me . Thank you Lord.
I will cry to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes My purpose in His plan.] Psalm 57: 2 AMP
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6 NKJV
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye. Psalm 32:8 NKJV
Temptation, everywhere I look. Lord help me. Forgive my stupid sins. Help me to please You in all I do, don’t do, say, don’t say, eat, don’t eat, and even what I think, or don’t think. Fill me with a greater desire for You versus anything else, even my food. Let me feed on You Presence. Thanks for loving me even though I don’t deserve it.
Uh Lord, . . . were You ever tempted by food? Continue reading Temptation, Lord Help Me
Now watch and see what I will do.
Lord, I admit I’m confused. Up, down, up, down, and up, down again. How can I break this cycle?
Child, you’re not. I AM.
But Lord, how? Please forgive me for I have an ugly, doubtful heart.
I repeat, “Watch and see what I will do.”
Lord, I’m so messed up. It seems the world has gone crazy. First of all everything on the news is depressing with the constant confusion, conflict, accusations, and tragedy. So many people are suffering. Continue reading Watch and See What I Do
Lord, would You break these self-imposed chains? You delivered me before. But now I’m entangled again in food addiction. I want my victory back. So would You deliver me again, Lord?
I’m trying to eat correctly as before when I lost 90 pounds. But now I’m older (66) and my body refuses to let go of excess weight. It’s up a few pounds, down a few pounds, up and down, and so on.
So I get discouraged. Then I eat whatever. Immediately my body swells up with added weight gain. Lord, would You grant me another chance and break these self-imposed chains of food addiction?
You delivered me of 90 pounds before (at age 61). It seemed so easy then. I ate three meals a day, half-portions, and no snacks. Back then my weight dropped off. Lord, is it possible You could give me another chance and break these self-imposed chains again? What can I do?
Child, first of all, I love you as you are. But since you’re not happy with yourself, I’m going to help you again. Although there will be differences this time because. . . as you said, your body is older (approaching 67).
To begin with, you need more water. I’ve talked with you about this before. And you need to start moving more. Do some bodily movements, exercise, each day. Try 30 minutes daily. It doesn’t matter what activity you choose as long as it’s movement. The older you get the more your body needs movement just to keep those joints free.
So Lord, are You telling me to eat the same way when I lost those 90 pounds?
Yes. Just add more water and some exercise this time.
Child, to you exercise is a bad word. So from now on, call it body movement. Think of it as a graceful dance.
Lord, do You want me to start dancing to praise music?
The choice of body movement is up to you. But it’s important at your age to keep it moving to keep your joints free. It doesn’t matter what you choose, but it’s important to “move it, move it, move it.”
Those are your goals. Eat according to My past instructions, add more water, and increase your body movement.
Water is important because it lubricates your joints and keeps them fluid. It’s also good for your skin. It might even puff out of those wrinkles you stress over. (I sense He’s smiling at me.)
Hydration is good for your body. The older you get the more the water in your body dries up. So add more to keep all things moving along. You know what I’m talking about? (He’s smiling again.)
Know this Child- I love you. Now go forth in your victory. You know . . . the one I have already planned for you. (More smiling.) I’m going to do it again.
