Prayer 1: The Beginning 1-3 weeks Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. I thank you Lord that you are the wind beneath my wings. I dare not take on this challenge without you Lord. I wait upon you and I believe that you have renewed my strength. I will run and not be weary and I will walk and not faint. My mind is renewed, my body is renewed, my spirit is renewed, and I am ready for you to conform me and make me what you need me to be, to walk in your purpose and to walk in your calling. You have made me in your image and in your likeness. I thank you that you have made my body the temple of the holy spirit. Thank you Lord for the revelation that you live inside of me, I am your house, and in my thankfulness I give my body as a living sacrifice in all I do, in all I eat, in all I drink. I work out and worship you and I workout and I praise you. For you say that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Thank you Lord that you are my helper. You are my strength. And because of you I am forgetting those things of the past and reaching to what's before...which is life, health and strength. I am no longer living in laziness, indecision and double mindedness. I have decided to Press forward and make Jesus my choice. I shall live and not die. I have many days added to my life because of my decision to change. Because of the choices I now make...for Jesus said "I am come that they might have life and that more abundantly." I do not acknowledge any voices except the voice of God saying, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health. I hear the holy spirit say, ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the doors will be opened unto you. Jeremiah 2:11, for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Today I pray for the anointing of David. The anointing of praise and worship to come upon me. The anointing to want to dance again, sing again, jump again, leap again, laugh again, play again, and to worship like never before. Today I am excited and expectant of he healing of my mind, of the healing of my body and the healing of my spirit. I will add vegetables and salads and fruit to my diet daily so that I will be filled with the oxygen that you have placed inside of me. I will plan and stick to my workout schedule and schedule my workout above all other issues of the day. I will think those things that bring forth life, health and healing and do those things that bring forth life, health and healing and drink and eat those things that bring forth life health and healing, I thank you Lord that with you I can do all things, and I am expectant of wholeness and healing in Jesus name. Amen.

About the Book
"As a physician and the Surgeon General of the State of Michigan, it has been my honor and privilege to serve the citizens of the State as the lead voice of health promotion and disease prevention. Embracing a healthy lifestyle - "move more, eat better and don't smoke" from the Michigan Steps Up Statewide Healthy Lifestyles Campaign, has been one of my key foundational messages to the programs, practices and policies promoted.
With rates of obesity and overweight reaching epidemic proportions in Michigan and nationally, and cardiovascular disease being a leading cause of preventable death, it is important to engage in moderately intense physical activity for at least 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week.
Lazet's book, "Workout & Worship", provides an instructional and informative way to keep you motivated as you workout for a full year, and help you achieve the recommended physical activity goals. I recommend this book to those who desire to enhance their health-focused routine by incorporating a spiritual component. For members of the faith community, maintaining good health honors a vital biblical principle.
This book also provides uplifting messages and is enjoyable to read and use. I encourage you to "Workout & Worship" to increase your physical and spiritual health and to live a long and prosperous life!" – Dr. Kimberlydawn Wisdom, Michigan Surgeon General
Then he said to me, prophesy to these bones and say to them, dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you and you will come to life! – Ezekiel 37:4 (NIV)
Lazet emphasizes that eating healthy and working out is like oxygen to our dry bones. In this book, Lazet explains all the reasons why we should work out, how to start, healthy menus, information on water, and gives 4-5 exercises for each major muscle group and many workout programs with diagrams to strengthen and tone your whole body. Most important, Lazet gives a scripture and prayer for each month to keep you motivated in your workout for the full year.
I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. – John 10:10 (NIV)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – III John:2
