Prayer: A Prayer To Help Me Lose Weight
Dear Father,
I would like to be physically healthier. I want to go to the gym and the beach and not be ashamed of the way my body looks. I want to be able to wear smaller sizes. I want to go to long walks and have enough stamina to push my limits both in duration and also in intensity of walking. Having a healthy body enables me to be strong and fit to exercise.
My body is a gift from You. I want to nourish it not destroy it. When I feel alone, provide me with supportive people, who can journey with me, and let me never forget that You are always there and that You wish the best for me. Let the abundance in the fruit of nature remind me that from the beginning, you wished my nourishment, wellbeing and strength. I offer You all those who, like me, are struggling to lose weight....
From the Popes
