Pray it Off Prayer

My dear God, you are so good, so kind and so loving.
Thank you for all you have given me and done for me; for all my blessings.
I need you in every aspect of my life. I know You want me to be happy and whole.
Please take away my desire to overeat and give me the strength, and willingness, to exercise.
Please help me to achieve and maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
And Lord, let me reach out, and assist others, as they strive to accomplish the same goals.
Through the name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen

St. PIO Intercession

O God,
You gave Saint Pio
The great privilege
Of participating
In a unique way
In the passion of Your Son,
Grant me through
His intercession
The grace of a healthy lifestyle
Which I ardently desire;
And above all grant me
The grace of
Living in conformity
With the death of Jesus,
To arrive at the glory
Of the resurrection.

Amen
