Oh, Lord, my God,

As I break this fast, I ask for your continued guidance and strength. Help me to listen to my body and to eat in moderation. Help me to avoid overeating and to make healthy choices.
I pray for your protection over me as I reintroduce food into my body. May I experience no discomfort or ill effects.
I also pray for your blessing on the food that I eat. May it nourish my body and give me the strength and energy I need to serve you.
In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
