Dear Heavenly Father, You know that I have been gaining considerable weight recently, probably as a result of some medical reason. Lord, You know that the doctors think it may be connected with a hormone imbalance or even an overactive thyroid or chronic stress, but whatever the reason, I pray that You would give me the grace to control my weight and to reduce it to a normal level. Lord, whatever the cause of my unexplainable weight gain, I ask that in Your grace You would help me to overcome it and to address the root cause of my weight. Father, You know that this has been causing me a lot of emotional pain and embarrassment, both at work and with my family. Please help me and heal me, I pray. Thank You, Lord, for listening to my prayer and for caring for the problems in the lives of all Your children. Thank You Father, Amen.
