Day 23: Enduring Renewal

Encouraging Your Spirit

YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW. Your journey is purposeful in My care: every pound, every confession, every step is building in you substance. Every choice that feeds your body towards better health illuminates My love and care for you. I love you. I AM with you on each step. Change is an ongoing process. Transforming your body and renewing your spirit. My mercy is here. Your gonna be ok.

Bible Wisdom

Yes, all things work for your enrichment so that more of God’s marvelous grace will spread to more and more people, resulting in an even greater increase of praise to God, bringing him even more glory! So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outer person gradually wears out, our inner being is renewed every single day. We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison. 2 Corinthians 4:15-17

Prayer

God, I’m relieved — You are the same yesterday, today and forever. While I’m swirling in the steps of change, You’ve tenderly wrapped Your arms around me and are growing substance in me. A healthy weight and health draw me and yet You are doing so much more. Thank you for the transformation that is yet to come, in this change. In Jesus Name, Amen
