Free Prayer Sunday - To Change Eating Habits



Good nutrition is very important and I know so much more now than when I was younger.  Still, I grab foods that are not good for me, many times throughout the day.  I do it for many reasons - time, convenience, money, or just plain nervous tension or a desire for those foods.  At least this prayer makes me aware of it and more eager to change. I love this one and I say it so often, I know it by heart.

I'm marching through my self-published Busy Person's Prayer Book, front to back. This prayer is from the category, My Faults. Earlier, I posted prayers from the Work category (about jobs, layoffs, etc.), prayers from the Helping Others (homeless, terminally ill, etc.), and Hurting Others (judging others, etc.) categories.

To Change Eating Habits
Father, you promised to provide our bread
But we reach for food that’s bad, instead
Please guide my appetite today
Toward food that’s good for me, I pray.

Please do not pass it around without giving credit to the author (me) and where it was published - a line like this will do:   by Evelyn Mayfield, in the Busy Person's Prayer Book
The book is available for download for less than $4.

Upcoming free prayers in this category, My Faults, include the following prayers:
Waiting for Appointments
Patience in Traffic
Shrugging Off Insults/Gossip
The Urge to Gossip
Worrying About My Appearance
Too Many Chores
Craving Appreciation
To End Procrastination
