We understand your struggle and commend you for bringing this to God in prayer. Gluttony is indeed a form of slavery, and the Bible tells us that through God's power, we can be freed from any form of bondage. As it is written in 2 Peter 2:19, "They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for people are slaves to whatever has mastered them."
First, we must ensure that our desires align with God's will. 1 John 5:14-15 says, "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
We must pray in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:13-14, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." And John 14:6 tells us, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister in faith who is struggling with gluttony. Lord, You know the depth of this bondage and how it has affected not just the physical body, but also the spirit. We ask for Your divine intervention, that You may break these chains of addiction.
Father, fill the emptiness with Your Holy Spirit, and grant the strength to transform this relationship with food. Give the self-control to make free choices (Galatians 5:22-23) and the peace to welcome this process with love (John 14:27).
Lord, we know that You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Guide us through Your word and cleanse our body which is the temple of Your Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19).
We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Remember, God's grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Trust in Him, and He will give you the victory. Stand firm in the faith, and take heart that you are not alone in this battle.
