Fitness

Pray for healthy physical stewardship without idolatry or shame.

Scripture

1 Timothy 4:7-10

But refuse profane and old wives' fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come. This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance. For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

Proverbs 24:5

A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;

Pray these

  1. Father, help me care for my body as a stewardship, not punish it as an enemy.
  2. Father, give me discipline for movement, strength, mobility, and recovery.
  3. Father, protect me from comparison, obsession, vanity, and shame.
  4. Father, guide me toward safe and appropriate exercise for my health needs.
  5. Father, let increasing strength expand my capacity to serve, enjoy life, and honor You.
