A crumpled check is still good money, if the signature is on it. So is a crumpled prayer, if Jesus name is really on it. -J. Piper

Not sure how to pray for your weight loss?  Not sure your motives are right?  Maybe you feel like too much of a failure in this problem area to even bring it up to God.  The good news is that God doesn’t require perfect prayers. He doesn’t even require good people to pray them.  If you are His child, you have the privilege of praying in His name.  It doesn’t matter how crumpled that prayer is, you have the right to ask!

Wondering if you do have the right — if you truly ARE His child? Click here to see my message about God.

Eating to live and living for Christ,
