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.

Try to figure out ways to talk to your family about God. I know it can be scary or fearful, but think that’s your Family’s ETERNAL Salvation and you telling them could be the only way they get to know Christ. Don’t wait till it’s too late but try to show the love of Jesus in your family through prayer, talking with them, and your actions and the way you portray yourself. Don’t be fearful (Only fear the Lord). Someone told me this: Someone’s Eternal Salvation is more important than your own comfort zone. Don’t force it but whoever has an ear to hear, let them hear. And know actions speak louder than words! Showing yourself as a follower of Christ is vital to be drawing closer to Christ. Nobody is perfect, So you will mess up at times, But don’t be discouraged because God is with you and he is there for you every step of the way✝️ “But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/111/luk.12.31-32.NIV

i struggle with the same thing. i get busy and miss meals. im underweight and have lost so much weight this past year, idk why. but i will say that forcing myself to eat a little more day by day, has made it to where my body is more hungry. my dr told me when we don’t eat our bodies get used to it. so pack in calories & your body will begin to adjust and become hungry again. pray for the strength to remember to eat as well and whatever is keeping you from eating. if it’s business, ask God to slow you down. things like that!

You can do anything, listen to the holy spirit and what it tells you to do, its like a gentle nudge, ask for discernment and God will reveal it to you it may sometimes be difficult but God's with you

Bible Verse for this Prayer

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.
