Prayer For The Day

Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful for the variety of the many foods You created for us to enjoy. I do appreciate all the wonderful things You made for us to eat and enjoy. Lord, give us wisdom in the area of eating. Forgive us for partaking in any form of gluttony. Lord, help us to eat in moderation and deliver us from any lust and addiction to food. Help all of Your people who are struggling with being overweight to overcome in this area. Correct our appetites so that we do not desire those things that are bad for us, and help us not to over-indulge in food and drink. Give us strength to resist the temptation to continue eating more than we need. May You be "Lord of the Fork" in my life. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
