“Restored to health”

Daughter, your faith has restored you to health. Go in peace and be continually healed and freed from your disease. Mark 5:34 AMPC

Verse Reflections:  Hallelujah, these verses in the scripture that remind us of the power of God have revitalized my faith in my abilities to eat healthy and thus lose the unhealthy weight.  Likewise, this faith has restored me to health.  God has powers beyond our own abilities but we have to have faith in His abilities.  He is telling us here that we can live our lives in peace and be continually healed.  I have fought overeating and an eating disorder for decades.  God is promising me here that I can be continually healed.  That means, once I decide to be free, I never have to go back.  So many times I have had failed to be free of my eating issues.  This verse promises me that I can be at peace and I will be continually healed.  I can be freed from my disease.  These verses that we are reading, that we are integrating into our souls are bringing us faith in God, faith that we can be different.  Faith that we can beat issues that we as humans have fought all our lives.  God tells us that if we have faith, our faith will restore us to health.  We can be at peace.  When anxiety threatens to overcome us, we must acknowledge this promise of peace.  God promises us healing, not of ourselves but because of Him.  I am going to claim this power.  I chose a date, my Mom’s birthday, to be free from bulimia.  I chose another date, my niece’s birthday, about 90 days later to begin eating healthy.  I am going to use this verse to remind myself daily that I am continually healed and free from my disease.

Prayer:  Father, thank You for the verses that have increased my faith.  I know You can heal me.  Every day, You give me a new verse that reminds me that You have the power to restore my mental, physical health.  Every day, You give me another verse that reminds me that You can heal me and free me from my disease of overeating.  My disease of choosing the wrong foods.  My disease of wanting to binge on ridiculous amounts of foods and then rid my body of them.   Father, thank You for giving me these verses.  I know I am pulling them out of context, but You are giving me so much confidence, so much power in all these verses.  I am amazed that You knew enough about me and others fighting the battle of choosing the right foods that You gave us verse after verse to remind us that Your power can conquer all of our weaknesses.  Father, every day that I doubt my abilities remind me that You are continually healing me.  Every day, You are fighting that battle for me.  Every day You are going to give me peace.  I am astounded at Your power.  Today, I take such comfort in know that You are continually healing me.  I don’t have to worry about relapsing because You are continually healing me.  I am freed from my disease.  You freed me from my diseases.  Thank You Father.  Today, we are going to choose Your foods in everything we eat.  Today, we are going to eat healthy.
