Dare to Call on Him

“Revel in this great promise from God!  We may feel like our whole life is a day of trouble, so this is just the promise we need!

Coming to recognize our need for God’s help with weight loss is an entire process in and of itself. We may have spent years convinced that surely we have the power within us to control our eating, or we’ve been convinced that God would not care to help us in these matters.  We could not have been more wrong!  We are powerless over our urges to binge, and He is absolutely ready and wiling to help us in every aspect of our lives.

Whatever it is that causes us trouble, we must get to the place of surrender.  The next time we are faced with the opportunity to misuse our food, we can immediately call out for His hand instead of struggling to control the situation.  He promises to control the situation.  He promises to come through, to deliver us from trouble.

Our daily experience of God brings honor to Him as we trust in His power and express our deep, deep gratitude for His help.

Today, Lord, I will dare to call up You before I choose trouble.  ”Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”  - Psalms 50:15 From Lose it For Life Day by Day by Stephen Arterburn.
