Ask Whatever You Wish, And It Will Be Given to You

"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you." John 15:7

I think it's so important that we incorporate Christ into our weight loss journey. It's the only way I've had any success. I had to read God's Word and apply it to my life. I had to see what the Bible said about eating, discipline, working out, and being thin. It's the only way I'm staying even somewhat motivated.

I absolutely love the above verse and the hope it gives us. If we remain in Jesus and His words remain in us, then we can ask for whatever we wish and it will be given to us. This verse doesn't say "ask for more of me and you'll get it" or "ask for anything related to spiritual pursuits and you got it" it says WHATEVER we wish and it will be given to us! And I wish to be skinny! And healthy! And I'm gonna go ahead and ask. Jesus is in my heart, His word is life to me, and I'm believing He is true to what He says and is faithful to fulfill His promises. Hallelujah!

Dear Jesus, thank You for allowing us to remain in You. And, thank You for giving us Your word to remain in our hearts. Lord, we wish to be  thin and healthy, beautiful and financially secure. God, I'd love to be skinny and gorgeous. And, I thank You that You tell us we can ask for whatever we wish. Father, I thank You that You say that our requests will be given to us. God, I can't thank You enough for fulfilling Your promises. The hope that this verse gives me makes me want to jump for joy and cry all at the same time. You are amazing, and I believe in You. Thank You, thank You, thank You. Be glorified today! In Jesus' name, AMEN!
