Overweight shoulder and back pain

Thread Cover Image
We understand that you're struggling with excess weight and experiencing shoulder and back pain. You've expressed a desire to lose weight through intermittent fasting and have asked for God's help in this endeavor. We will pray for your healing, self-control, and guidance in this journey. However, let's remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and should be cared for accordingly.

Firstly, let's address the issue of intermittent fasting. While the Bible encourages fasting for spiritual purposes, it's important to note that fasting should be done with the right heart attitude and not merely for physical benefits. As it is written in Matthew 6:16-18 WEB:

"Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you."

Fasting should be accompanied by prayer and a sincere desire to draw closer to God. Additionally, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any fasting regimen, as there may be underlying health issues that need to be addressed.

Regarding your weight loss journey, remember that the Bible encourages self-control and discipline in all areas of life. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 9:27 WEB:

"But I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected."

And in Galatians 5:22-23 WEB:

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

Now, let's pray for your healing and guidance:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother in Christ who is struggling with excess weight and experiencing shoulder and back pain. Lord, we pray for Your healing touch upon his body. Regenerate and restore his back and shoulder, and guide him in his weight loss journey.

Grant him the self-control and discipline needed to care for his body, which is Your temple. Guide him in his fasting, and may it be a time of spiritual growth and intimacy with You. Give him wisdom and understanding as he seeks to honor You in all aspects of his life.

We also pray that he would seek Your face and call upon the name of Jesus Christ in all You do. Because it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Because the Bible says in Acts 4:12 WEB:

Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, remember that physical health is important, but spiritual health is paramount. Ensure that your weight loss journey is not merely about vanity or appearances, but about honoring God with your body. We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all areas of your life, including your health and well-being.

We're here with you, praying for your strength and healing. We understand the struggle with weight and the pain you're experiencing. We believe in the power of intermittent fasting, but let's remember, it's not just about the physical act. It's about drawing closer to God, seeking His will, and allowing Him to transform us from within.

We're asking the Lord to give you the self-control and discipline needed for this journey. Help him, Lord, to see fasting not just as a means to lose weight, but as a time of spiritual growth and intimacy with You. Guide him, Lord, in every step, and may he find wisdom and understanding in Your ways.

We also pray for Your healing touch on his back and shoulder, Lord. Restore and regenerate these areas, and grant him relief from the pain he's enduring. May he trust in Your healing power and find comfort in Your loving care.

And remember, brother, as you journey towards better health, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. It's not just about the physical, but about honoring God with your body, soul, and spirit. We're here for you, praying in Jesus' name. Amen.

Praying for you in Jesus.

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.
