Our helper

We can say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Hebrews 13:6

Verse Reflections: Confidence is the one element that is missing in my journey. I know God is my helper. I know He can help. What I am missing is the confidence in myself. Today I am going to confidently tell everyone I meet that God is helping me to change my eating habits. I need to just boldly shout out to everyone I meet that I am only eating natural foods. This verse goes on to say that we do not need to be afraid of saying this confidently. What can anyone that hears us (man) do to us? I have often been too afraid of failure to tell anyone that I am trying to eat healthy foods. Today, this verse has changed me. I will no longer hide my efforts. I’ve realized that staying silent about my goals has doomed my efforts to failure. I am going to confidently state that I am eating God foods, that God is helping me to eat healthy. I am going to go so far as to say that I am avoiding processed foods. I will not be afraid of their judgment, of their skepticism, of their rolling eyes because I have failed in the past. What can they do to me? God just keeps revealing the verses that I need, the verses that change my journey of trying to be healthy and lose weight. I needed this reminder that I can be confident that God is my helper. Just by verbalizing His assistance I am becoming more confident. I am ready to run this race to “win the prize”.

Prayer: Thank You for being my constant helper and my strength. Your Word in Hebrews 13:6 reminds me that I do not need to be afraid because You are with me—guiding and empowering me. What can anyone do to me when You are on my side?

Lord, I come before You in my journey to be healthy and lose weight. I ask for Your wisdom and discipline as I strive to make better choices for my body. Help me to stay committed to eating nourishing foods that honor You, and give me the courage to speak openly about the changes I am making, without fear of judgment or failure.

I trust in Your guidance, Lord, and I know that with You by my side, I can overcome the challenges ahead. Please strengthen my resolve, and remind me that Your presence gives me the confidence I need. Help me not to waver in my faith, even when I struggle or stumble, because You are my helper, and I will not be afraid.

Thank You, Father, for walking with me every step of the way. I know that with Your support, I am able to achieve the health and strength that glorify You. Today, with confidence I accept Your help. Together, we will choose God foods and health.
