The Weight You Can't Lose: Healing the Weight Behind the Weight (The Lord's Prayer Life Application Library Book 6)

You have tried the diets. You have restarted the plans. You have counted the calories and logged the miles.So why does the weight keep coming back?Because lasting weight loss is not a diet problem.It is a discipleship problem.Pastor Tim Nicholson is 135 pounds into a 235-pound weight loss journey, not at the finish line, but in the middle of it, just like you may be. And what he discovered along the way changed everything: the weight on your body is almost never the first problem.The first problem is the weight inside you.Rejection that was never resolved.Abandonment that sent you looking for comfort in places that could never truly comfort you.Anger you could not express, so you swallowed instead.Unforgiveness, you have carried so long it feels like your own skin.Perfectionism that convinced you that if you cannot do it perfectly, you might as well not do it at all.These are the wounds that drive the behaviors that produce the weight. And until you address the wound, you will keep returning to the same patterns, no matter how many times you restart.The Lord's Prayer for Weight Loss applies the twelve movements of the Lord's Prayer to every dimension of the struggle, body, soul, identity, habit, and healing, giving you a biblical framework no diet book has ever offered.Each movement includes:Deep biblical teaching rooted in Hebrew and Greek word studiesAn inner-healing focus that addresses the emotional driver behind the physical habitPractical application you can use immediatelyReflection questions, personal exercises, and group discussion promptsA closing prayer that moves the truth from your head into your lifeYou will discover why the Greek word for "weight" in Hebrews 12:1 is not a sin word; it is an athletic word for anything that slows a runner down, whether sinful or not. You will learn why Jerome's ancient Latin translation of the Lord's Prayer renders "daily bread" as supersubstantialis, above and beyond what substance requires, and how that changes the way you ask God to fill what is truly missing. You will understand why your body was never the enemy. It was always the gift.This is not a book about willpower.It is a book about who God says you are, what He says your body is worth, and the power that is available to you when you stop trying to fix a spiritual problem with a physical solution.The race is already set before you.Your job is to strip off the weight and run it.Whether you are beginning again for the first time or the tenth time, this book will meet you exactly where you are, and point you toward the Father who made you, knows you, and is not finished with you yet.Part of the Lord's Prayer Life Application Library series by Pastor Tim Nicholson.
