It Can’t Be Done in My Strength Alone

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” – Matthew 26:41

To conquer emotional eating takes reserves of strength that I don’t always have. I have to pause and ask for help. I have to plead for Divine power. Food has a stronghold over me!

I fall to my knees all to often. I ask for God’s helping voice to be a booming one. For his gracious hand to be there in my time of need. Lord, I surrender by fitness aspirations to you.

And then I leave it at God’s throne. I allow God to work in me. And He does!

I will make my Father proud. I will be a testament of his grace. My journey will be a victorious walk side by side with Jesus. I can do this with the strength He provides…it is the only way!
