A regular reader asks, How do I surrender my weight problems to God?

Simple – just ask for help. Try something like this: Say a silent
prayer to God, who lives inside you and is a part of you, “God, I can’t
do this alone. I need help. Please show me the way.” If your vision of
life’s Creative Force involves different language, pick words that fit
your beliefs. The important thing is to reach out to a power beyond
yourself for help. Then know that God is helping you, guiding you.

Surrendering your weight problems to a higher power doesn’t mean being
passive. Begin making an effort to learn about nutrition from reliable
sources (not fad diets).
Change your activity habits and do some enjoyable, easy movement for at
least 10 minutes every day. Keep praying to God and give up all your
problems – trust in your Creator 100%.
You will see miracles happen, I promise. Do what God wants, always, all
ways, and you will no longer have the burden of excess.
