Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, I come to you today asking that you will make us fit. Fit Lord not just for the race we are on but fit to enter into your kingdom. I ask that you will cut away all of the things in our lives that have us so bogged down that we can not give our best efforts to you.
Some of us are mentally distressed and Lord I ask that you will remove that and replace it with a peace that will truly surpass their understanding. Not just that God some of us are tired not only in our bodies but in our hearts and minds. We feel sometimes as if we are not going to make it to the finish line. But God, I ask that you will manifest your word in our lives as it is written in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Whatever the weight is we are carrying today I ask that you will help us to learn to do as Peter did in 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." Lord some of us are so obese with burdens that the weight is too much. But I know you can and you will God give us what we need to get through these tough times in our lives. It is during these times Lord I pray that we will make the fitness connection.
Fitness Lord is not just for our physical being. Fitness is just as important for our spiritual being. Help us to recognize when we are unfit. Unfit to be a vessel that carries your word. Remove all of the fat that is clogging our hearts so that we can hear directly from you. Lord if its a major surgery we need, I ask that you will schedule it immediately.
We know that whatever needs to be done, when we place it in your hands; it will be done right. Thank you in advance for our fitness deliverance. Thank you in advance for removing everything that keeps us in a fatigue state of mind. God there is so much work for us to do but, we must first surrender ourselves to you. Help us God to willingly release those things to you that are keeping us from growing. Help us to willingly surrender to you those things that are keeping us bogged down.
We have a right to fitness. We have a right to walk upright before your throne. We have a right God to have all of the things in our life removed, that are not like you. Therefore, I claim my right to increased faith and fitness. For I know that one without the other is no good; because you said so in James 2:20, "But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"
So God on this day at this hour, I surrender everything to you because I know in 1 Peter 2:24, you have already paved the way "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." In Jesus name! Amen
