"See you are well again, stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

Dear God:

Jesus has convicted me of so many sins and so many times, I've been brought down and I am facing one of those times. I am depressed about my weight, about my size, when I ought not to be. Jesus, you know my prayer, you have heard it so many times. God please bless me with a healthy, strong body. God, bless me with the strength, determination to carry on a new, more permanent mindset. I dont want to just diet and exercise for a few weeks or a few months. God, I want and I pray that this would last a LIFETIME. God, please bless me with this motivation because at the root of it, I really do want to do your will God.

Anyways, back to theme at hand: even though Jesus has healed me, I have sinned and may continue to sin....until something worst happens. God, this is what I am trying to prevent. Please convict me of any other sins. I have recognized my sins of gluttony of sloth of envy and of lust. The opposite of gluttony is temperance; the opposite of sloth is diligence. The opposite of envy is KINDNESS. "Kill them with kindness." And the opposite of lust is chastity. Please God, bless me in my efforts to be kind and to show love others, bless me in my efforts to be chaste, bless me in mye efforts to be diligent and bless me in my efforts to exercise temperance and restraint from over-consumption.

I want to be well AND stop sinning!
