Daily Prayer

I knew I shouldn’t…
even before I ate it.
But it was so tempting,
so delicious, so mine.
I say I want to lose weight,
I know what it takes— really.
I do know, but somehow
I can’t bring myself to try.

Help me understand why I am
hiding behind these extra pounds.
Help me love myself
as You love me.
Help me see myself worth
the effort it will take.

Let me remember
that I am worthy
and loved by You.
