Your body tells a story, and sometimes that story looks different than what you expected, especially after babies, illness, injury, or as you age.

Prayer:

Lord, search my heart. Please show me what I'm really seeking. Guard me from anything that would master me. Teach me to honor this body that you've given me and treat it like a temple, but also help me to steward my resources wisely and help me to choose what leads to peace, help me to choose what will lead to being more present, and not worried about my looks, and help me understand what true love is, not one that is wrapped up in looks. Lord, if I should proceed with this procedure or this thing, give me clarity and counsel. But Lord, if I should wait, please release it and give me contentment in my heart. Amen
