Please, please, please I ask you brothers and sisters for a prayer regarding my health, specifically my eating habits and taking care of my body because it is a temple of the Holy Spirit. However, the thought of that or awareness of that rarely crosses my mind on a daily basis. As a result, I’ve been having poor eating habits (Eating a meal past 9pm, eating during times when I’m not hungry, so I eat for the sake of “it’s time to eat” rather than “I’m actually hungry and so I should eat”). My stomach doesn’t rumble anymore like it used to (which I assume is because I eat late). I wake up and I’m not hungry, but I eat because I have to. So I eat because I have to, not because I want to, despite not being hungry.
I then feel bad after I have the last meal of the day because I didn’t want to eat at all, but I eat because 9pm is when my mother notifies me and my brother that she has bought food for us to eat.
As a side-note: no one is a born-again follower of Christ in this house aside from me. Or in other words, I’m the only Christian in the house. So bringing up the Holy Spirit conviction or stewardship or that my body is a temple, is out of the question.
Thank you for the prayers and God bless you.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
