Pray Psalm 139:23-24, you should know it by now. Start journaling what He reveals to you. What is ONE area you can start to focus on right now? Not 2-3 areas, ONE. Ask Him to help you make a plan and He will.Start to log where you spend your time; how long are you scrolling? Where do you feel the most distraction? What time do you go to bed? Get up? Are you rushing? Are you looking at your phone first. Start to take an inventory of how you spend your time and ask Him to help you recreate your priorities. Father, thank You for the promise of peace and righteousness. Forgive me for fighting discipline in my life. Thank You for continuing to encourage me through this struggle area. I am tired Lord; I have tried everything except Your way. I make excuses, I starve myself, I live in fear of food, and I am ready for something new. Lay on my heart the first step I need to take today and help me to trust Your provision. I love You Lord and am excited, scared and nervous to dig into the hard parts of my life, but I know that it’s only through inner healing that I can achieve the outer. Lead me Jesus, help me to honor You with my choices and my thoughts today. Amen.Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach.
