I am here to ask for prayer for the healing of my body and mind. I am saved and LOVE my Lord, but I have been teeter tottering when it comes to fully giving my all to Him. I have battled an eating disorder for close to 5 years now, and my physical body has felt the effects of it. My fertility is null, I am underweight, and I battle the enemy daily when it comes to food and eating. I know God loves me and He does not want me to have these feelings and insecurities anymore, but they always seem to creep back to me after doing good for a period of time. I want nothing more than to have a husband and children someday, but I do feel like I first need to break free from this horrible ED that has a grip on my life! I know I am being selfish and I need prayer from my fellow brothers and sisters to STOP and just let God be God and let Him take care of me. I KNOW I am saved by grace through faith, yet I STILL let the enemy get to me and disrespect my body. I am ashamed. Thank you so much for your prayers.....
 
First of all i realize i am not much to be giving advice because if you have been reading my threads you will see i am battling myself with some things.One thing i done is something i heard a preacher say on tv and it has helped me.He was saying to start saying i am free because whom the son sets free is free indeed.And say it all the time.He was talking about someone who smokes and told them to say that even when he is smoking.He said never say that you can not quit.I have been doing that and it has helped me.He said the man that was smoking stopped within two weeks.
PLEASE NO BODY FLAME ME FOR WRITING THIS.I just wanted to share something that is helping me.
 
Dear sister, I too was once reluctant to give my all to the Lord, partially because I was deceived into thinking that my way would be more fun than the Lord's, or that there were certain worldly passions that I couldn't live without. In short, I was a moron and probably had things worse than you. But all that changed with one thing. Prayer.
As my wise grandpa once told me, everything begins with prayer, and he was right. It is written that the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much, so knowing that the Lord hears our prayers and is concerned for us is a great tool to resisting temptation. I don't pretend to be perfect because I have my own sins that I need the Lord to wash away, but prayer never fails.
 
Thanks, I very much agree and do pray :praying, but sometimes I relapse and dont know why. :(
