Lord, how do we get success and victory over all these issues in life? At times, I don’t know what to do about my weight, my eating, my job, or just daily life.
Child, quit trying to figure everything out. Because I will work out all things for your good. Just trust Me and watch as I work out all the details.

But Lord, what do I do about this extra weight I’m trying to get rid of?
Go back to seeking My advice about what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat. Trust Me as you did before. Trust Me again as your weight loss coach.
Quit trying to create new rules for you to follow. You never stick to them anyway. Just focus on asking My advice about each time to eat or when you want to eat
The most important thing you can do is follow, rather obey, My instructions. I promise you success and victory if you will seek, trust, listen, and obey. In other words, submit your will to My will for your life.
For therein, is your key to success and victory. Quit trying to control yourself and surrender yourself to My control. Overall, you’ll be greatly surprised and thrilled with My results for your life.
In fact, I have already planned success and victory for you. So now go forth today, praising Me for the victory I’ve given you. Rejoice My child, rejoice for your victory is now, today.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8 NLT
Lord, I praise You for bringing me halfway to victory. Your Word has blessed me so. Because You’ve promised me all the strength I needed to resist temptation, I am stronger. You even helped me resist temptation when my favorite ice cream came to this house.
I can save it to enjoy in celebration after this 40 days of victory.
Thank you for my victory, the victory You had planned for me all along. Thank you for the victory You brought forth because of Your cross. In fact, it was Your victory over the cross that brought victory over death for all.
