MY DAILY BREAD- by Linzy Bruno
".....If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you...." John 15:7 NASB
Years ago, I was diagnosed with seven different digestive anomalies. For the year and a half prior to getting diagnosed, I suffered nearly constant, severe stomach pain and discomfort. Of course, I tried everything and nothing worked; in fact, some "remedies" made things worse. Eventually I did get on the right medicines, but continued to suffer several unpleasant symptoms.
Finally one day, it dawned on me that saying grace in a special way could be my answer to wellness throughout my digestive tract. Also in that moment; God helped me understand that He wants me to abide in Him and that praying every time I ate would be an excellent way to accomplish that. So, being a writer, I wrote a prayer that I disciplined myself to say before every meal and any time just before putting even one bite into my mouth.
This continuing in God practice has helped me more than words can say. I feel good inside almost all the time and when I have an issue, it's very minor and doesn't last.
Here is my prayer for anyone with chronic tummy woes:
"Thank you Lord for this meal, (name meal or snack), that You have provided. Please (pause here) help my body to accept it for ALL the good You intended it for. Thank you Lord, in Jesus' name.....Amen.”
Furthermore, when you pray, do so in faith; believing that He is willing and able to do it for you.
