It must have been water weight, cause when I weighed in this morning, I was down to 199.4. Below the 200 mark!!! (Keep going, Suzi. You're doing good!)
Here's an inspiration that will help me gain the victory, when I'm discouraged and afraid I'll never get there:
"See, God has come to save me,
I will trust in him and not be afraid.
The LORD GOD is my strength and my song;
he has given me victory."
Isaiah 12:2
Bring Me all your feelings, even the ones you wish you didn't have. Fear and anxiety still plague you. Feelings per se are not sinful, but they can be temptations to sin. Blazing missiles of fear fly at you day and night; these attacks from the evil one come at you relentlessly. Use your shield of faith to extinguish those flaming arrows. Affirm your trust in Me, regardless of how you feel. If you persist, your feelings will eventually fall in line with your faith.
Do not hide from your fear or pretend it isn't there. Anxiety that you hide in the recesses of your heart will give birth to fear of fear: a monstrous stepchild. Bring your anxieties out into the Light of My Presence, where we can deal with them together. Concentrate on trusting Me, and fearfulness will gradually lose its foothold within you.
