25+ Powerful Bible Verses For Weight Loss When You Want To Quit!

Bible verses for weight loss

I’ve been struggling lately. 

I know that, as a Christian woman, my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and that means what I eat is important to God. 

Why? 

Because what I eat goes into my body! 

And the body is what? 

The Holy Spirit’s temple!

So when I eat junk food it not only affects my physical health but also my spiritual health. 

The problem so many of us face though is that unhealthy food is so much more convenient than healthy food. 

And then the weight gain begins and accelerates and accumulates and it’s just out of control! 

That’s when we need peace and rest in the arms of Jesus and His word because doing this on our own just isn’t going to work!

So if you need some encouragement to get back on track with your weight loss journey please stick around because you’re in the right place! 

Today we are going to talk about: 

-The weight loss journey and its struggles
