"Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!" (NLT) Matthew 26:41
Fact: Temptation is all around us. My temptations involve a pantry full of junk. Cookies with chocolate in the middle, brownies, gummie candies, chips...need I go on. The important part is what I do with them. And lately, I eat them! Yeah, I said it, I have been eating bad things.
While preparing my mind for my upcoming Dr's visit in which I will most likely be released to begin exercising my logic goes to, "eat like you want right now because you will need to be on the strait and narrow when you begin to exercise to get the best benefits". EXCUSE! If I want to see something different then I must do something different. I have to eat good and not overdo eating anything. MODERATION.... pray my strength:).
Other than the junk this last week I have not been doing too terrible. I am encouraged. One day at a time with much prayer. That is how I stayed strong in the beginning but I kind of whittled away from praying over everything that I consider putting in my mouth. It really made a difference when I did pray over everything because I would resist the temptation of things that I did not need. The scripture at the top says it all and I am a witness that it works. So I say again...whatever your journey...this scripture principal can work for your situation.
Blessings.
