I often look at this picture I have of my husband and I at our heaviest. I look at that picture and are disgusted and upset that I let myself get to overweight. I continue to push harder and get a awesome workout afterwards!!

I PRAY!!! Yes, and let me tell you.. PRAYER WORKS!

The Prayer that Changes Everything

This morning after my prayer time, God revealed a remarkable thing to me.

He told me the true meaning of the name “Take Back Your Temple.”

God gave me the name about a year after I started my own weight loss journey. At the time and since then, I always thought of the name as just a challenge to people of faith to take back their bodies, health, and lives.

But He told me that I was wrong. “Take Back Your Temple” is a prayer.

The name is meant as an individual’s cry unto Him. It is asking God to take control of your body and your life so He can use them for His purpose and agenda.

It is the submission of your will to His will. You recognize that your body is God’s temple and invite Him in to care for it as such.

You don’t live out of your own strength. You live from His.

So if you are struggling with your weight right now, then simply ask God to: “Take Back Your Temple.”

If you are struggling with destructive habits, simply pray to the Lord in the midst of it: “Take Back Your Temple.”

If you are struggling with fear, doubt, depression, stress, worry, or anxiety then invite God into the situation: “Take Back Your Temple.”

I believe that if you pray that simple, powerful four-word prayer with a sincere heart and persistence, then it will be answered.

It will be answered based on God’s word that our bodies are His temples, and we therefore are to glorify Him in our bodies and in our spirits (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

May you take this message to heart, apply it in your own life, and forever be blessed in health, wealth and wisdom!
