For Good Eating Habits
Blessed Redeemer,
When you paid the price to make me yours, you didn’t redeem only my mind and my soul, but my body as well. Since you paid such a great price to redeem my body, I want to take care of it properly. I want to have the physical ability to serve you and others in whatever way I am able, for as long as you extend my life here on earth.
One of the most significant ways I can carry out this goal is by paying attention to the food I put into my body. So much of the food today that is fast, easy, and tastes good fails to provide the nutrition my body needs and also contributes to many health issues. If I do make those choices, let it be so in moderation. Curb my cravings for fatty and sugary foods that don’t serve my health goals. Guide me to make good choices and to enjoy the process of discovering food that is both healthy and tastes good. Make me mindful of my portion sizes and keep me from overeating and consuming in excess. Bless my efforts at focusing more on my diet as I honor you in caring for my body.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
