Lord I need Your wisdom! I’ve prayed that many times in a variety of situations but never in the the area of my health. A little over 4 years ago, I felt a tug in my heart, a little voice within, say, “What about wisdom for your health? Are you willing to make wise choices for your health?” That began the slow, but steady journey to ask God for wisdom and strength to choose to live a healthy lifestyle.

It was after I discovered I had a heart condition along with a series of other things four years ago, that I knew the Lord was convicting me to change the way I cared for my soul and body. I work fairly well on keeping my spiritual life strong but my physical and emotional life were being neglected.

This article begins a series of choices I’ve made (and am making along the way), by God’s grace and strength, in my journey to live a healthy lifestyle.

Choice number 1 -

Be willing to admit your need for a change in lifestyle.

Ouch! That hurts! Many of know we need to change our lifestyle habits in the areas of our diet, exercise and rest. I’ve learned that people, including myself, know we need to change but are not willing to admit or confess that need. It’s one thing to identify a need to change. It takes another choice to admit that need with intentions to take the first steps to change.

That’s easy…I can admit my need to change…you may say. Make sure your willingness to change is strapped to intentions to make some necessary corrections, taking the first steps to “Living a Healthy Lifestyle.”
