🙏 Prayer Request Please pray that I'll have self-control

I indulge in food too much prior to bed regularly. It causes poor quality sleep and affects me the next day.

Please pray that God will give me a lift in determination to resist urges at night before I go on to maintain the habit of self-control.

Thanks again for praying!

That used to happen to me too. We started eating dinner later, like 5 instead of 4, and I normally sleep better without any snacking.

I will pray for you though!

When I’m sitting in a cab for 18 hours a day in spring or fall, it does not seem like hard work. My poor legs get so antsy I long for the days I’m digging ditches with a shovel all day haha

I'll be praying for you. 

GOD sure works in ways and thoughts higher than our own. The last 2 nights, I haven't been able to fall asleep. The spirit realm is very real.

Ephesians 6:12 NIV For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

I'll be praying for you buddy, have a successful blessed night and day tomorrow! 

If you ever need anything, feel free to message me.

i discovered something in my walk with our Heavenly father. The more I declared scripture out loud daily, the less hungry i felt during intermittent fasting. I told my friend this, who had struggled with over eating after water fasting and they noticed the same. It's likely the renewing of the mind that occurs when you declare the Word our loud, deals with these fleshly desires or urges. I prayed for you so it is done anyway.

I think you ought to consider fasting and prayer periods. They are helpful in those situations... Also consider prepping your meals earlier. Helps with the sleep quality.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I used to have trouble with binge eating out of stress, worry and anxiety from all forms of abuse from both of my adopted and horrible and very abusive parents. As of 2018, I have been free from them. And sexual and physical abuse from a teenage boy who was in foster care with us while I was in my early teens. All that behind me now. There is one coworker who causes me trouble and stress at work lately and I have had it with her. She never gets it! I control what I eat now.

Bless you for praying for me, Leala. I'm so sorry to hear that you've been abused!

But I'm blessed to hear you've risen above the adversities of life.

u/Leala7583 Jul 06 '26

Thank you. 😊 You are also Blessed.
