I like you had prayed many times to overcome my eating problem I found though that until I was totally honest with God that I couldn't do it, that I had tried over and over and failed. So I gave myself to God and I said this is beyond my ability, please take me and my gluttony and fix it because I can't do it. God has been working on this with me and with His help I have been able to say no when temptations come along and this has helped to build confidence in me not in my ability but in God's ability to take my problem and help me be a conqueror. Jesus has already won any battle we face we just have to reach out in faith and take His hand and listen to what He tells us. There have been times at night I want to go to the frig and I have heard the voice do you really need to eat that and honestly I have to say no. The wins since I made this request to God have been many more than the losses. I am starting to see some results and it is encouraging. It is a battle, but I am not fighting alone and neither will you once you surrender this issue. Let go and let God help you.
Yours is a wonderful testimony. No one is alone when God is present. I am going to follow the advice you gave. I will let go and let God. I feel like a winner already. "It's all right, I think I'm gonna make it..."
