Over the past few weeks, my goal has been to appreciate the sufficiency (the word feels woefully inadequate - I hope a better one comes to mind) of God. I do not need to be concerned about anything.
“Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide, as it is said to this day, "In the mount of the LORD it will be provided."
Genesis 22:14 NASB
Lord, I've prayed to You for so many things in life. For peace as a child in a turbulent home. For a God-fearing husband as an adult. For children to fill our home with joy and enrich our lives. But there's one area I've only recently realized belongs to You, too. Because it all belongs to You. Lord, You've watched me struggle against the scale for as long as I can recall. At times I've had success but it's never lasted. I believe this is because I've attempted to do it on my own, with my limited strength. But what Ive done is taken my eyes off of You and created an idol out of a number, a size.
“I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.”
Psalms 139:14 NASB
Lord, whatever I am, whatever I'm not, I give it all to you. Help me walk with You in all things. Help me hear Your voice in every moment and decision and to make You and nothing else the central focus and anchor of my life. Lord, whatever Your will is for me - whether it's to lose weight, stay the same, or whatever, help my soul grow with you and help me gain spiritual health over everything else.
