Dear ###, we appreciate your desire to improve and seek breakthroughs in various areas of your life. Let us address your concerns together in prayer and with the guidance of the Word of God.
Firstly, we commend you for seeking discipline, consistency, and focus. The Bible tells us, "whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men" (Colossians 3:23 WEB). This means we should strive for excellence in all we do, with our efforts ultimately directed towards pleasing God.
Regarding your weight training and weight loss goals, we remind you that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19 WEB). Treat it with care and respect, and remember that true strength comes from the Lord (Psalm 18:32 WEB). In all your efforts, keep in mind that "physical exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable in all things, having the promise of the life now, and of that which is to come" (1 Timothy 4:8 WEB).
Your plan to live overseas and sell everything is a significant step. We encourage you to seek God's will in this matter. Remember that Jesus said, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it" (Matthew 16:24-25 WEB). We pray that God will direct your paths and grant you wisdom in these decisions.
We also notice that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It's crucial to understand that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As it is written, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). We encourage you to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as it is through Him that our lives find true meaning and purpose.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We ask that You grant ### the strength, discipline, and focus needed to excel in all they do. We pray for their health and fitness goals, that they may glorify You in their body and spirit. Guide their steps as they consider living overseas, and may Your will be done in their life. Help them to grow in their relationship with You and to trust in the name of Jesus Christ for their salvation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we remind you to "In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6 WEB). Stay thankful and grateful, and may God bless you abundantly.
