Healthy Habits and Our Kids_Day 2

So this week we are praying our kids will have healthy eating habits.

ACTION STEPS:

Assess your own healthy habits. Is there anything you need to cut out or add to be a better role model to your kids?

Decrease These: Junk food, Fast food, Soda, Sweets, Alcohol, Drugs

Instead Try: Natural/Whole Foods, Home-cooked Meals, Water, Sugar From Fruit, Exercise

Don't try everything at once. Pick one thing to improve/model for your kids and then when that becomes a new habit, try something else.

I started with dinner, then eventually changed our breakfast. After a while, I focused on lunch and snacks. A year from now, your family's healthy habits could look a lot different.

We are not perfect at this but we are way better off than we were a couple of years ago.

Remember the ABCs from 'Diets Don't Work - This Does!' when it comes to praying about our health.

A: Ask for wisdom.

B: Believe God is working in this area.

C: Check your motives.

FOCUSED PRAYER:

Father, I pray my kids are wise about the things they put in their bodies. Help them see how beautiful and complex you made them, inside and out. Help me lead by example in the areas I am in charge of in our house. Your word says when we ask for wisdom, you will give it to us. If there are things that I am putting in my body that are harmful, help me see how I can do better. Show me how to make small changes that will make large impacts years from now. Break any chains of addictions causing my children harm!

In Jesus Name, Amen!

SCRIPTURES TO PRAY THIS WEEK:

Psalms 139:14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

James 1:5 And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom and he will give it! He won’t see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures but he will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace.

John 10:10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

James 1:6 Just make sure you ask empowered by confident faith without doubting that you will receive. For the ambivalent person believes one minute and doubts the next.
