Prayer for Balance, Healing, and Strength in Diet

Heavenly Father,
You know the journey I have walked—
the frustrations, the flare-ups, the memories from childhood when food was a struggle and sickness was frequent.
You see the pain that others cannot understand,
and the burdens I have carried for years as I wait for change.

With boundaries in balance, You give me peace.
With rest and care, You give me healing.
Even when flare-ups come, You remind me to stretch, to breathe, to trust.
And when tasks are left undone, You remind me that my worth is not measured by perfection,
but by love, faith, and perseverance.

Lord, give me strength to follow the diet that brings me health.
Help me resist the foods my body cannot handle,
and remind me that discipline is a form of care.
Bless the meals I prepare—
that they may be full of nutrients,
adapted with wisdom,
and shared with others so all may be nourished.
Honor the time I have spent studying and learning,
so that I too am cared for,
and my body may continue to heal.

As I step forward after Christmas,
grant me balance in body and spirit,
so that I may continue building strength,
caring for myself and my family,
without slipping into the setbacks of years past.

Surround me with peace when old memories rise,
and remind me that I am not defined by pain,
but by Your love, Your presence, and the hope You place in my heart.

Bless those that joins me in prayer.
May our voices rise together in hope,
our hearts rest together in Your presence,
and our spirits be renewed by Your promise of healing and change.

Amen.

Let your will be done!
