The War Cry | AUGUST 2013
Temptation abounds in our food-filled world. From the office
vending machine to the shopping mall food court and all the
other places in-between, food is everywhere. It's important
to be mindful of your food environment so you can avoid
temptation and overeating. Here's how:

PRAYER
A Prayer for
Heavenly father, I am your humble servant,
I come before you today in need of hope.
There are times when I feel helpless,
There are times when I feel weak.
I pray for hope.
I need hope for a better future.
I need hope for a better life.
I need hope for love and kindness.
I pray to be filled with your light from
head to toe. To bask in your glory.
To know that all is right in the world,
as you have planned, and as you want it to be.
Help me to walk in your light, and live
my life in faith and glory.
Amen.

They Heard Voices

voice come from?
4. Who heard a voice that said, "Write down what you see"?

BIBLE TRIVIA
Start at home:
You control your fridge
and pantry, so stock
your kitchen with good-
for-you items instead of
unhealthy snacks. If chips
and cookies aren't in your
cupboards, you can't
indulge. Try snacking on
plain air-popped popcorn,
whole-grain cereal and
whole fruit or vegetables
between meals.
The key to overcoming
food temptation:
Whether at food courts, the break
room or coffee stands--is to plan
ahead and keep healthy snacks
nearby.
Keep food close by:
You'll be less likely to sample
the pastry tray at your 3 p.m.
meeting if you've just eaten
a healthful snack. If your
office has a fridge, stock low
fat cheese, yogurt, hummus
and cut vegetables. No
fridge? Keep non-perishable,
high-fiber snacks (dry cereal,
nuts, oatmeal) in your desk
drawer. Attend meetings on
a full stomach.
Carry healthy snacks:
It's easy to grab a muffin or
donut at the coffee shop, or
a cupcake from the specialty
baker when you're hungry. But
before you choose, consider
the effect of extra calories,
fat and sugar that wreak
havoc on your heart and your
waistline. Plan ahead and arm
yourself with healthier snacks
at all times. Enjoy an apple, a
banana or some carrot sticks.
