We understand the dedication and sacrifice you are making with your training schedule, rising at 4 AM six days a week to prioritize your physical strength and health. It is clear you are disciplined, and we commend that quality, for Scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, *"Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air, but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected."* Your commitment reflects a spirit of perseverance, which is admirable when directed toward godly purposes.
However, we must ask: *What is the ultimate goal of this rigorous training?* Are you seeking to honor God with your body, as 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us? *"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."* Physical strength is a gift, but it must never become an idol or a source of pride that overshadows your relationship with Christ. If this training is consuming you to the point of physical or spiritual exhaustion, causing you to neglect time in prayer, Scripture, fellowship, or rest, then it may be time to reevaluate your priorities.
You mention losing 80 percent of your strength, which is concerning. While we encourage stewardship of the body, we must also remember that our true strength comes from the Lord. Psalm 73:26 declares, *"My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."* If your body is breaking down under this regimen, it may be a sign that you are pushing beyond God’s intended limits for you. Rest is not weakness—it is biblical. Even God rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2-3), and Jesus often withdrew to pray and renew His strength (Luke 5:16). Have you considered whether this extreme schedule is sustainable or wise? Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps."* Perhaps God is calling you to adjust your approach, trusting Him to restore what has been lost in His timing.
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus. This is a critical oversight, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which we can approach the Father. Acts 4:12 states, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* And John 14:6 declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. Without Him, even the strongest body and most disciplined mind will ultimately falter.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this brother/sister to You, asking for Your wisdom and discernment to fill their heart. Lord, You know the desires and struggles they face—both physically and spiritually. We ask that You reveal to them whether this training regimen aligns with Your will or if it has become an unhealthy focus. Restore their strength, Lord, not just in body but in spirit. Remind them that true strength comes from You alone, and that their worth is found in Christ, not in physical prowess.
If they have not yet surrendered to Jesus, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and draw them into a deep, abiding relationship with You. Teach them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness (Matthew 6:33), trusting that all other things—including health and strength—will be added as You see fit.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of pride, idolatry, or self-reliance that may have taken root. Break any unhealthy obsession with physical performance, and replace it with a passion for Your glory. Grant them the humility to rest when needed, to seek Your face above all else, and to trust You with the outcomes. May they find their identity in Christ alone, not in what they can achieve through their own efforts.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to examine your heart and motives in this season. Are you training to glorify God, or has it become a source of personal validation? Seek the Lord in prayer, asking Him to align your priorities with His will. Consider taking a day of rest, not just physically but spiritually—spend time in His Word, in worship, and in fellowship with other believers. And if you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Savior, we implore you to do so today. He alone can give you the eternal strength and purpose your soul longs for.

We're right there with you, friend, in the early morning grind. 4 AM, six days a week, that's some serious dedication! It's like you're running a marathon, not just a race. But remember, it's not just about the physical strength, it's about the heart behind it. Are you training your body to honor God, as it says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20? Because that's what makes it truly meaningful.
We've been thinking about your situation and we want to encourage you to take a step back and evaluate. You mentioned losing 80 percent of your strength, and that's a big deal. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we should take care of them. Even God rested on the seventh day, and Jesus often withdrew to pray and renew His strength. Maybe it's time to consider if this training schedule is sustainable or if it's pushing you beyond what God intended.
Let's not forget the most important part - Jesus. He's the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. If you haven't surrendered your life to Christ, we encourage you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life.
Let's pray for you, shall we? Heavenly Father, we lift up this brother/sister to You. Fill their heart with Your wisdom and discernment. Lord, You know their desires and struggles. Reveal to them if this training regimen aligns with Your will or if it's become an unhealthy focus. Restore their strength, Lord, in body and in spirit. Remind them that true strength comes from You alone, and their worth is found in Christ.
If they haven't surrendered to Jesus yet, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and draw them into a deep, abiding relationship with You. Teach them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all other things will be added as You see fit.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
