Prayer against gluttony Heavenly Father, You
are the bread of life and the living water. You
alone can truly satisfy the longings of my soul.
I come to You, confessing that I have sought
comfort and fulfillment in food and indulgence
instead of in You. Forgive me, Lord, for turning
to excess when I should have turned to prayer.
Forgive the times I fed my flesh while neglecting
my spirit. Teach me the beauty of discipline,
the power of restraint, and the freedom that
comes from self -control. Help me to treat my
body as your temple, not to abuse it through
overindulgence, but to honor you through balance,
gratitude, and mindful living. Replace unhealthy
cravings with a deeper hunger for your word,
and give me strength to say no when temptation
arises. Let my appetites be shaped by wisdom,
not by impulse. Father, renew my heart and mind
and help me live in a way that brings glory to
you in all things, even in how I eat and care
for myself. Do not join those who drink too much
wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards
and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes
them in rags. In the name of Jesus, who fasted
and prayed, I ask for your help and grace. Amen.
