Prayer For Food Addiction

Lord, I thank you for providing me with food and I never have to sleep hungry.

I have an addiction to food and feel like I am a slave to food.

prayer for overcoming food addiction
You have said I should do everything for your glory and that includes eating. I repent for when I have not done so.

Help me have self-control as I eat and to turn my focus from food to you.

Dismantle the stronghold of food addiction in my life and show me how to develop healthy eating habits.

I don't want to be a slave to food anymore and I declare my deliverance today.

I know my addiction to food results from emotional eating. I have an emptiness in my heart that I am trying to fill with food.

Fill me with your words which are food for my spirit (Deuteronomy 8:3).

You say I cannot live on bread alone but by every word that comes from your mouth.

Give me spiritual nourishment as I read and meditate on your word.

Help me develop a healthy diet plan that will guide me on what foods to eat each day.

I recognize that a poor diet has caused me to crave certain foods and fall into an addiction of those foods.

Guide me on the minerals and vitamins my body needs so I will eat foods that deposit them in my body.

As I go about my day, I ask for your strength to avoid fast food which only leads me to crave fried food and pastries.

Give me the discipline to only eat when I am hungry and not before, to avoid overfeeding my body.

Help me turn to your word when tempted to turn to food for comfort.

Teach me to identify the triggers that make me eat all the time and to deal with them.

I will clean out my house of all junk food and only eat healthy foods which nourish my body.

You are an ever present help in times of need and today I need you to walk with me as I deal with my food addiction.

Show me strategies I can use to take charge of my health and diet.

I declare I will overcome my food addiction.

My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19) and I will feed it well.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Dear Lord today I come to you in need of strength against food addiction. This thing feels bigger than me. I no longer want this addiction and the control that it has over me. I am ready to be a new person a strong, powerful, overcoming man/woman of God. You tell us in your Word that you have given us power over all things. Starting today I am going to begin walking in that power.

In the name of JESUS I take authority over a spirit of Gluttony you have no power over me. I don't need you and I don't want you. I now command that you leave my mind, thoughts and body. I break the chains of addiction that have been controlling me. I refuse to allow food to have any control over me.

Today I take on strength, power and self-control. Food has NO power over me in Jesus name! When Jesus went to the cross He broke the powers of hell including all addictions. Holy Spirit I now ask that you would fill me grant me greater love for myself, love for others, self-control and the desire to love myself more than food. I now praise God for the victory that I will begin to walk in today. In Jesus name I pray. amen

There is a secret to resisting the devilyou must first submit yourself to God. "Therefore submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). If you binge, ask God to forgive you and help you not to overeat again. Don't fret over a stumble. Get up and try again using this five-step plan.

Stand up to the issue that brings bondage into your life by saying, "__________ (insert your addiction), you won't lord over me nor entice me anymore. Jesus is my Lord!" A person obtains spiritual power and authority through Christ. Declare that the spiritual powers of darkness will not have lordship over your life. They will not rule you, govern your behavior, capture your thought life, nor lead you into temptation and sin because "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4).

Dear Heavenly Father,
You alone, know ALL my needs, and all my body's needs, having created it.

Food has been my "comforter" for wayyyy too long. JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY comforter I NEED!!

Daddy, help me to make food choices that are GOOD for my body....When I am...(fill in the emotion,) help me to not "stuff" my feelings down with food as a crutch, when I should be seeking Your Face, instead.

Fill me up. Fill up all the "empty" spots that I'm trying to fill with food. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I BIND THE SPIRIT OF GLUTTONY. I loose the Holy Spirit over my body, and whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven, according to Matthew 18:18.

When I eat of boredom, remind me that YOU are always there to entertain me with YOUR word, and I can do something that honors and glorifies YOU, instead of hurting myself...I am covered by the blood, and washed by the water, white as snow.

You have cast my sins as far as the east is from the west....When I fall, help me to shut out the whispers from the enemy telling me how worthless and useless I am, and how I can never succeed or amount to anything...THOSE ARE LIES FROM THE PIT OF HELL!! I AM A DAUGHTER OF THE GOD MOST HIGH, AND THAT MAKES ME A PRINCESS OF THE KING!! I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME. THIS TOO SHALL PASS!! PRAISE AND GLORIFY YOUR NAME, FATHER, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!!!

Dear God,

I pray for your help & guidance as I cleanse my mind & body of the things that are not good for me. I pray that find strength & perseverance in myself to do what's right & to live a happy life. I pray that I don't make poor decisions to cheat myself out of the blessings that you have in store for me. Thank you for everything, in Jesus precious name, Amen!
