Sept. 22

Dear Lord,
      I just realized that it has been a week since I have posted a prayer which doesn't mean it has been a week since I prayed about this.   Thank you, Lord, for the small results I have seen.  Thank you, Lord, for the people praying for us.  Thankyou, Lord, for my sleeping better.  Thankyou, Lord, for reminding me to eat healthier and buy more fruits.  Thank you, Lord, for reminding me to eat only one snack after work- not 4.  Thank you, Lord, for the help and support Jenny has received in her new position.
Thank you, Lord, for the friends Jenny has in her life. 
Please , Lord, help both of us to find time to exercise this week. Please, Lord, remind both of us to eat smaller portions. With you, all things are possible.
In your Son's name,
Amen

    A new day full of possibilities.  Help me make the best of today.  Help me to make wise and healthful choices. 
Amen

Sept. 10

Dear Lord,
     Jenny has an extremely busy week ahead of her...she is being a good co-worker and offering to help where needed, but it creates more work and stress on her right now.  Please help her focus and remain calm to get her work done.
     I also have my first week of 8 classes using new technology in 6 of them which creates a little anxiety for me.  Help me to remain focused on the big picture- the students.  If I make one person's day better today, it will be a success. 
    Help us make good food choices and find ways to exercise.
Amen

Sept. 9

Lord,
     Be with us today as always.  Remind us to make healthy choices.  Guide us in our thoughts, words, and deeds today.  Be with all of our family. 
Amen

Sept. 8

Lord,
    Thank you for our weekend to rest and enjoy and replenish ourselves.    Be with us as we make food and exercise choices. 
Amen

Sept 7

Lord,
    It's hard to fit in exercise...I have the time- I just have to do it early in the day.  Today is golf, but I'm riding so it won't be enough of a walk.  Please help me exercise after dinner tonight for 30 minutes.  Be with Jenny at the end of this week.  Help her to eat right and also find the time to exercise.
Amen

Sept. 6

Lord,
    I wasn't thinking last night when I got home.   Please give me strength to not eat after class or to eat some fruit only.  Be with Jen and her struggles today.
Amen

September 4

Lord,
    Be with Jen as she drives to work and teaches today after the weekend.  Be with me as I get ready to teach my first class tomorrow.  Thank you for being ever present in our lives.  I know we have to change our mindsets to eat healthier and to exercise.  I just realized that I finally have more fruits in the kitchen.  It has taken a month to get to that point.  Keep us strong.  Keep us thinking about weight loss.  Thank you for not giving up on us when we are ready to give up.
Amen

Good Morning Lord,
Thank you for a beautiful day!  Thank you that I am getting better.  Thank you for preparing my heart for my new adventure at work.  thank you for all the people who are supporting me as this happens. 

Lord, I so need help with being conscious of what I eat.  I haven't thought about it all week.  Please help Mom and I to make good choices today so we can be healthier.  Help me to focus on what is good for me to eat and not just what I want to eat.

Help us to exercise today.
