praying over food

[jediwill83]

This is the second time I have tried to make this post. Grrrrrr

Ok I have been praying about my weight problem.

I feel God has delivered me from food addiction but the damage has been done.

For a long time I have not prayed over my food or anything I have drank ever.

I have been sincerely asking God for direction and help and I have heard from Him.

God told me that I was to pray over everything I eat and everything I drink and to acknowledge that I am dedicated to His service and walk in obedience to Him therefore I am praying over my food and drink so that I will not suffer negative effects.

Before you say,"Yeah that's crazy you just wanna binge and not suffer consequences."

No that's not it at all. I need to lose weight because I'm on the verge of developing serious health issues. I'm not talking of consequence free binging according to a food addiction but just eating normally.

If you thing about it alot in our diet could fall under Mark 16:17-18.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Because of how unhealthy it is. We are literally being slowly killed...It's deadly its just taking its time.

So that's what me and Kat are starting to do beginning tonight.

Prayer before eating:

Mat 14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Prayer after eating:

Deu 8:10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

[Jermyn Davidson]

I remember the prayer I was taught to say over my food as a little boy: "Thank you Jesus for this food. Amen." This, with a few variations, was my "grace" for years!

How about this prayer:

Thank God for bread, thank God for meat
Thank God for food, come on, let's eat.

The good thing about being morbidly obeese and concerned about changing that is this:

You will drop pounds and shed fat relatively quickly once you start watching what you eat and exercising.

This truth is predicated upon the basis that the root causes of your weight gain have been addressed (stress, psychological, thyroid, various medications).

Some hae meat and cannae eat. Some nae meat but want it. We hae meat and we can eat and sae the Lord be thankit

[houston]

I remember eating fast food with church people and they'd pray, "Lord, nourish this unto the health of our bodies."
Then we'd bite into our cheeseburgers. ROFLOL

Dude, I can smell food and gain weight.
