Oh how I hate THEE!

You tried to sneak up on me in my weakest moment.

But I overcame you by the power of the Holy Spirit…

I overcame you by fasting and seeking my Father.

You were a hard sin to get rid of but I denied my flesh of the things I wanted so badly.

And here I am today saying..

…..

Oh! Gluttony how you’ve tried to steal my disciplined habits..

How you’ve made me think I needed food as a coping mechanism to put a bandaid on my depression so that I couldn’t feel for a little while.

How you swooped in like a thief in the night and tried to steal my joy and peace.

You DEVIL!

How you tried to disrespect God’s child knowing that I am his..

You can’t have me because I will always go back to the Father!

He is my Abba.

He is my Healer.

He is my Redeemer.

He is my Firm Foundation.

He is a strong place when I am weak.

He leads me beyond still waters.

He breathes life into me.

He completes me.

He is my everything.

…..

So gluttony I say to you that I REBUKE you in the name of Jesus and you have no place here!

YOU WILL RETURN BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM BECAUSE YOUR PRESENCE IS NOT WELCOMED HERE!

You will not destroy me..

You can’t even touch me..

I’m protected and covered by the Holy Spirit that lives within me.

…..

I’m doing things a little different this time around..

Sometimes we just need a little more Jesus so let’s PRAY!

…..

Dear Father,

Please help me to stay discipline in my eating habits and convict me anytime I want to binge or harm my body. 

Give me strength when life be life’ing and when I am faced with challenges that tend to weaken my spirit. 

This is my confession and public declaration.

I have acknowledged that I do struggle with gluttony and I know that it is a sin. 

Let me not be tempted by any foods that I may see at work, at home, or on TV. 

Protect my eyes, ears, and nose as well when I come into contact with the foods that I love to binge. 

When I feel like I need to be full of something — Lord remind me to be full of your word. 

Order my steps and keep my feet on solid ground. 

Forgive me for harming the body you created as a living sacrifice. 

And from this day forward I honor you with the healthy body you have given me.

When I am weak remind that I am strong in you. I am strong in my faith in you Jesus.

Remind me that I am a daughter of the King, The Most High!

Thank you Lord for always showing me grace and mercy. 

Continue to fill me with your wisdom, knowledge, understanding, discernment, fruit of the Spirit, and boldness, in Jesus name, Amen.

…..

I felt like words weren’t enough but prayer is POWERFUL.

If you aren’t struggling with gluttony, you could easily just change the words to what you are struggling with and make it your own.

I want to say that I love my Bold. Savvy. Faith. Community. If you ever need prayer or just need someone to listen I’m here.

…..

What is one thing you are struggling with that you are praying to God to help release the hold it has on you?

Live BOLDLY. Stay SAVVY. Have FAITH.
