I admit I have both come to love and hate the word "diet."
On the one hand it represents hope for change.
On the other, its like a sign flashing "failure ahead."
I don't want to embark on another faulty plan, Lord.
I want to embark on a journey with you.
One that is led by You, and depends on Your power.
I can do nothing on my own.
Show me the path that will enable me to change.
Show me as only You can what works for me,
What is healthy for me.
I want to think of this venture in positive terms, Lord.
Not that I am signing up to be miserable, or in want.
I want to learn to feed my body, what it truly needs, when it truly needs it.
And to feed my soul with the "Bread of Life," ......You!
Today I place my future, my failures, my setbacks,
all of my hopes and plans into Your hands.
There alone will I find meaning and true success in my life.
Amen
