Healthy Eating Habits

 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God,

that giveth to all men liberally,

and upbraideth not

and it shall be given him."

James 1:5

Dear Father, I understand that the food we eat plays one of the most important roles in our health and the proper functioning of our bodies.

Help me to be sensible and use wisdom regarding what type of food I eat.  Help me to not eat out of habit or for social enjoyment, but only when I am hungry.

Help me to glorify You in my body and not eat foods that bring sickness, disease, or harm to my body.  Help me to be disciplined to not overeat or eat late at night.  Lord, I ask You to help me control my appetite instead of indulging my flesh.  Lord, give me wisdom to choose the best eating plan for me and my family.

Help me to not let the lust of my flesh control and dictate my eating habits.  Before I eat anything, help me to consider the nutritional value and benefit, or the harm that the food will bring to my body. Help me to develop healthy eating habits so my body will be strong and healthy, that I may fulfill the plans and purposes You have for me. 

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen
