Prayer for those struggling with their weight

Lord Jesus, we pray for the obese, those who are underweight and those with eating disorders.

Lord, correct our metabolism and bring restoration and balance to our bodies. Cover us with Your love when we struggle with low self image.

Help us chose food that brings energy and vitality to our bodies, clarity to our minds.

Let us treat our bodies with respect and care, as true temples of the Holy Ghost. Help us to glorify You in our food choices and worship You in our exercise.

We pray that every scheme of the enemy against us will be dispelled in Jesus’ name.

Give us energy and enthusiasm to find efficient exercise regimes and stay committed to those. Bless our efforts to lose weight or achieve the right weight. Help us to keep the vision of being fitter.

Lord, give us victory in this battle for good health against anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders. Help those with eating disorders to love their body just as You love it.

Thank You, Heavenly Father for our deliverance from any food addictions, which we received in JESUS’ most holy name.

We ask that You help us to present our bodies to You as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to You.

Most of all, Lord, give us the wisdom to put You first in our lives, not our own bodies.

Amen.
