Brandi - You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so happy for you as you begin your WLS journey. This prayers has helped me thru many difficult times - I found it again right before my WLS - hope it can help you as well....
Dear Heavenly Father,
I trust you to write my tomorrows and file my yesterdays in a place that will not harm me. I will await your direction.
Give me the courage. Though I long for freedom and victory, I am afraid to venture into such unknown territory. I have forgotten how to laugh, truly laugh and kiss the wind, so bowed over have I been in my despair.
You are the lifter of my head. Raise me now and lead me on. I am ready. Ready for change. Ready for deliverance. Ready to experience the fullness of the joy and peace that you have ordained for me. Yes, I am ready.
Lead the way in Jesus’ name. Amen
