Don't chisel out your prayers, using fancy language. Talk to Him as you'd speak with a friend. You'll find that this works unfailingly.

Weight loss is just one thing after another, too.
But by using your own, God-given tools in cooperation with the soul's guidance, you'll find the answers you need, exactly when you need them.
