For What?” — When Legacy Checks You Mid-Snack

The Healing Room – June 27, 2025

“For What?” — When Legacy Checks You Mid-Snack"

I almost didn’t work out last night.

The kind of “almost” that creeps in with soft excuses:

You can just do it in the morning.

You’ve earned a break.

One day won’t matter.

But God had other plans—and He used my daughter to speak them.

I was in the kitchen making a healthy snack, already convincing myself to skip Day 18. Gilea, my daughter, sat in the living room watching TV when I casually said,

“I might not work out today.”

And without even turning her head, she said:

“For what?”

Two words.

But they pierced deeper than any motivational speech.

Because truthfully? There wasn’t a real reason.

Not one that could stand in the presence of her belief in me.

Not one that could hold up under the weight of the call I’m carrying.

These children—my little witnesses—see more than we think.

They don’t just echo our habits…

They mirror our mission.

And in that moment, her voice called me back to mine.

So I didn’t quit.

I didn’t fold.

I didn’t reschedule.

I pressed play.

I pressed through.

I did extra.

And I felt every bit of it—body, spirit, and soul.

 

Day 18 Pre-Workout Prayer

Let My Strength Testify

Father,

I thank You for waking me up with purpose in my bones and praise on my breath.

Today, I don’t just move to sculpt a body—I move to surrender to a mission.

Let this workout be more than reps and routines—let it be warfare and worship.

Stretch what’s been stiff in my spirit.

Strengthen what’s been tested in my walk.

Renew the fire that fatigue tried to quiet.

I release every distraction, delay, and discouragement.

And I pick up peace. Power. Posture. Purpose.

Anoint my sweat. Multiply my discipline.

Train me to endure—both in body and in belief.

This temple is Yours.

Let my strength testify.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

 

Day 18 Affirmation

My body is built to carry glory.

Every move I make is a witness to my endurance.

Every drop of sweat is an offering.

I am disciplined. I am consistent. I am chosen.

My temple is not just being shaped—

It’s being sanctified.

 

Post-Workout Declaration – Day 18

I’m Stronger Than the Excuse.

I showed up. I pressed through. I didn’t fold.

Today, my body was not just moved—it was ministered to.

Every rep reminded Hell that I still have breath…

And every drop of sweat told Heaven,

“I’m still in position.”

I don’t train for vanity—I train for victory.

I don’t run from the stretch—I meet it with glory.

And I don’t just carry a body—I carry a call.

Let the soreness testify.

Let the growth continue.

Let my temple keep rising.

In strength. In spirit. In sacred pursuit.
