He performs wonders that can't be fathomed, miracles that can't be counted. Job 5:9 NIV Bible
Being on this site, you probably already know that the Lord God allowed me to loose over 80 pounds and to keep the vast majority of the weight off for over 30 years. It was a pretty amazing and wonderful miracle. I had been to diet programs, joined groups, got staples in my ears, and tried so many different diets, and fads, only to regain more weight that any I had lost.
When I told God I was giving up, I really was. I was putting Him on notice, that I couldn't ever be thin, and if He wanted me to be thin, He'd have to do it Himself, because I sure couldn't. Now, it may not seem like such a big miracle to some, but that weight loss came from nothing I did. The day I relinquished my power, and turned it over to the Lord God, without even realizing that's what I had done, changed my whole life. Actually, I was expecting anything to happen, but God changed everything that very day.
Immediately God made it that I wasn't craving large servings of food or sweets, to fill my bottomless pit, that always felt hungry. In thinking back, I think it felt this way, because I turned to food for comfort when I was stressed, happy, worried, or bored, instead of putting all my concerns in Jesus Christ's very capable hands. When I started doing that, the weight disappeared without diets, pills, or groups, although He has shown me what works for my body and what doesn't. He picks me up when I start to slide back into old eating patterns, and He reminds me that all power needs to be in His very capable hands and not mine!
