A prayer for the body

Father, thank You for creating this body for me to live in. Your work is amazing. You have created every unique body with such brilliance and intricate care.

Forgive me for not treating my body with respect. This body is actually Yours, not mine. Yet instead of treating my body like a temple of the Holy Spirit, I have tried to conform to the image of the world. God, I repent.

May I always treat my body with respect from now on. Foolishly, I have treated my possessions with more care than I have treated my body, yet the body is more valuable than any item. Forgive me for the ways I have carelessly harmed my health. Father, I pray for mercy and complete recovery...thank You.
