THE PRAYFIT DEVOTION
FINDING SHADE
August 29, 2011Read: Luke 5
"And he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed." --Luke 5:16
The understatement of the year would be to say that we at PrayFit have been blessed. Your faithfulness, encouragement and prayers have overwhelmed us. We've just completed a major PrayFit endeavor with our new partner, Lionsgate Entertainment, and we want to publicly give the Lord all the glory. We thank Him for who He is, for what He's done, for what He's doing right now, and for what He will do in the weeks and months ahead.
With that promise, we're going to follow His lead into our own wilderness for time of prayer, rejuvenation and rest. The next PrayFit entry will be Tuesday, September 6. We hope you have an awesome week, maybe catching a few baseball games, while staying true to your workouts and quiet times. (Okay, ballgames optional, I guess.)
Blessings to everyone.

PRAYFIT ON THE ROAD
March 24, 2011Read: Psalm 122
"I was so glad when they said unto me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'" --Psalm 122:1
Today, Team Prayfit visits big Dallas, Texas to tape the Joni show on Daystar, and then we'll be off to Toronto for more book tour events. We're so excited, blessed and thankful to have been invited to come share the message of health as a means of praise.
If you're new to PrayFit, we first ask that you would remember us prayer. Nothing else is needed more. Secondly, we hope you'll stop here often, and if it's easier for us to come to you via e-mail, please sign up for our PrayFit Daily. And third, we hope you'll encourage others to follow us on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. We love our life's work -- helping you and your family get closer to the Lord and each other, while living abundant, healthy lives. Exactly how we were designed to live.
In Jesus' name, we train.

SUPER SAVIOR
August 20, 2010Read: Isaiah 53 “But he was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities and by his stripes we are healed.” –Isaiah 53:5
If you happened to see the Kentucky Derby earlier this year, you were witness to a fantastic story, both on and off the track. One man’s name was selected in a raffle among 67,000 others, then he was given $100,000 to place a bet on any horse in the field. Winner take all.
When Glen Fullerton entered Churchill Downs that morning, all he had was a gift and a choice. And after all the pre-race advice, he used both.
The split-second that Super Saver crossed the finish line in front of nineteen other horses to win the fastest two minutes in sports, Glen Fullerton became a wealthy man.
It seems we walk into this life a lot like Glen did the Derby; with a gift, a choice and a super Savior to do the rest.
--J.P.
OBESITY: A SECURITY ISSUE?
If you think that fitting into our clothes better is America's only incentive to get fit, think again. The problem, illustrated by the following statistics, has continued to make it apparent that our declining dedication to health is putting us at much greater risk than we may think.
>> The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classify more than 34 percent of American adults age 20 and older as "obese" -- or having a body mass index higher than 30.
>> Up to 9 million Americans ages 17 to 24 -- or nearly 27 percent of the prime military recruiting age demographic -- are "too fat to serve in the military," according to an April study from Mission: Readiness, a non-profit group composed of senior retired military officials.
>> According to the study by Mission: Readiness, more than 140,000 individuals failed their military entrance physicals between 1995 and 2008 because of weight problems -- a 70 percent increase over that same period.
