Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone that comes to Him must believe He exists and He rewards those who honestly seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

Verse Reflections:  We have to have faith that we will be successful on our healthy eating journey. KNOW that you can do this.  Eliminate your internal and external messages like “I am not good at portion control”, “I have to have a starch at every meal”, “I don’t like salads”. “I am a sugar addict, I have to have a desert”, “I have a horrible metabolism”, “I can’t lose weight”, “I’ll start tomorrow”.  You fill in the blanks with the messages you have been tossing out into the universe.  I am the worst at excusing my lack of success. I am the worst at sending myself negative messages every single minute. This verse reminds us that we have to have faith that we will please God, and eat healthy. We have to know that He exists and He will reward You when You seek Him. Just by reading these verses every day, You are committing to seeking Him. You will be rewarded. We can change our mantras.  Try saying, “My appetite is decreasing, I can’t eat all that”, “I am choosing healthy foods”, “I can’t have much sugar”, “I am changing my eating habits”… We have had decades of tossing negative messages into our brains. You will have to consciously change them. We speak at the rate of 120 words a minute, while we think at 1000-1200 words a minute (10x our speaking rate).  So, stop and reflect on what messages you are sending yourself? Stop the negative messages you are sending yourself! That is not having faith in your success. Once you stop your internal messages, you can work on your external messages. Have full on, God powered confidence that you will be rewarded with success in your healthy eating and weight journey. You already have the power to choose God foods today.

Prayer:  Father, I so often sabotage myself. I choose not to have faith in myself or You. I choose foods that I know will not make me successful. I buy into the lie that I will start tomorrow and I have been accepting that lie for decades which is a joke that I am not laughing at. I am not practicing faith in You internally or externally.  Today I am going to change my internal mantras. WE are going to believe that I have already changed.  I no longer eat buckets (okay teaspoons) of sugar and butter or salty carbohydrates every day. I am a healthy eater because I am honestly seeking You and You promise me here that I will be rewarded. Therefore, I am already successful in this journey of choosing God foods. I already have faith that I am a changed person. I am going to run this race… to win the prize of a healthy weight. Thank You in advance God for the strength and thank You in advance for my success. I not only believe You exist, I know You exist. Over and over in my life I have witnessed Your power. Today, Lord of my life, I claim Your power. I am a strong person with the Power of Jesus behind me.  I love You and trust You and therefore myself. I will no longer use the words “I need help to change”, I am going to thank You for already changing me.  Hallelujah Jesus, I am healed and I am rewarded in my faith in You. Love You and I love myself because of You.
