Lord are you first or have I chosen another? You see I have put other things before God for so long I don't even know how to consistantly put Him first. So I have to fight to keep Him first everyday. It is not just something that happens automatically. It takes work. It is also not about how I feel. Emotions are fickle..... Happy one minute and sad the next.
I am choosing to put God first and glorify Him in my body and in my life.
I fasted today breakfast and lunch and I ate too much at my dinner time meal. I feel stuffed. I pray that tomorrow when it is time to eat dinner that I am able to practice self-control over what I eat. I pray that my desire will not be to over eat. Lord I pray that you will get at my heart and heal it where it hurts. Lord show me why I ate too much...in the name of Jesus! AMEN

Will be praying sweetie..and you can do all things through Christ. It is HIM that will give you the strength. Just keep on keeping on. Also crying out to God to let Him know it has to be Him that does this because you just can't!!
I've been sacrficing two meals a day for quite a bit. I first fasted for 40 days last Lent (I'm Roman Catholic) two meals. I felt the Lord calling me to do this because the stronghold of gluttony was taking hold of me again and I was slipping back to old patterns. Than He called me to fast on Dec 7th for 40 days,,to bring me once again, closer to Him and freer from the stronghold of food...now I believe He has called me to live like this,,not in a legalistic way though. I do have orange juice in the morning sometimes, I will have apple sauce in the afternoon when I'm weakening in the body, but my meal is dinner time. I drink coffee with milk or cream, have drinks here and there (not booze,lol) but eating is one meal a day. God has called me too to watch my porptions,,they were getting BIGGGGGGGGGGG lately!!
