Unit 1 - Prayers Flashcards
Father, thank You for letting me know that nutrition is
Father, thank You for letting me know that nutrition is the study of how food nourishes the body, shapes choices, and affects health and well-being. It provides energy, supports growth and repair, and even influences emotions and habits. Thank You for helping me understand that food is not just fuel but a reflection of Your provision and care. I can picture it clearly now: a flowchart showing how food leads to energy, growth, and emotional well-being.
Thank You, Father, for teaching me that food is
any substance I consume to stay alive. It delivers essential nutrients that fuel my brain, muscles, and heart, keeping my body systems functioning as You designed them. I imagine the visual of a fuel gauge, with food as the energy source that powers my body, just like a car’s gas keeps it moving.
Thank You, Father, for helping me understand that a diet is
the unique pattern of what I eat and drink daily. It is influenced by culture, personal preferences, habits, and what is available to me. This pattern directly impacts my health and well-being. Thank You for reminding me that I can think of it as a plate showing a variety of foods from different cultures—like warm soup, colorful desserts, and fresh fruits—symbolizing how diverse diets can be.
Father, thank You for revealing to me that nutrients are
the tiny but essential components in food that sustain life. Proteins are builders that repair and grow tissue, fats provide long-lasting energy and insulation, carbohydrates are quick energy boosters, vitamins keep my eyes, skin, and bones healthy, and minerals strengthen my bones and support my muscles. I see it clearly now as a pie chart: 40% carbohydrates, 30% fats, 20% proteins, and 10% vitamins and minerals—each part essential for my body to thrive.
Thank You, Father, for letting me know that nutrition is important because
it empowers me to care for my body as a reflection of Your love. By understanding food, diet, and nutrients, I can make wise choices that support energy, growth, health, and happiness. The image of a balanced plate with a checklist—energy, growth, health, and happiness—reminds me that every choice matters.
Father, thank You for guiding me to retain this knowledge and use it to
honor the life You’ve given me. Teach me to see food as a tool to care for the temple of my body, knowing that through these choices, I reflect the wisdom and love You’ve poured into all creation.
Father, thank You for letting me know that nutrition is the foundation of life.
It’s not just about survival but about understanding how food nourishes my body, shapes my choices, and affects my health and well-being. Thank You for teaching me that nutrition fuels energy, supports growth and repair, and even influences my emotions and habits. I picture this as a tree with strong roots—nutrition being the root that sustains every part of my life.
Thank You, Father, for helping me understand that food is the carrier of nutrients.
It’s not just about satisfying hunger but about delivering the building blocks my body needs to function. Without food, my brain, muscles, and heart would lack the energy to perform their tasks. I see this as a fuel pump, where food is the energy source that powers every part of me.
Father, thank You for showing me that my diet is a unique pattern of what I eat and drink daily.
It’s as personal as a fingerprint, shaped by my culture, preferences, habits, and availability. Whether it’s a bowl of soup or a colorful dessert, these choices form a relationship with food that directly impacts my health over time. I see this as a plate filled with diverse foods, a reflection of the richness You’ve provided for me to enjoy.
Thank You, Father, for revealing the importance of nutrients—the unsung heroes in food.
Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals each play a unique role in keeping my body thriving. Proteins repair cells, fats provide long-term energy, carbohydrates fuel quick energy, vitamins regulate processes, and minerals strengthen bones and muscles. I see this as a toolkit, where each nutrient is a specific tool designed for a purpose. Without these tools, my body cannot perform at its best.
Father, thank You for teaching me that nutrition is more than just eating for pleasure.
It’s a powerful tool for living my healthiest life, empowering me to make thoughtful and informed choices. By understanding food, diet, and nutrients, I can build a foundation for long-term well-being. I imagine this as a path You’ve laid before me—a journey where every step is guided by Your wisdom and care.
Thank You, Lord, for providing this knowledge and for walking with me every step of the way.
Help me to apply this understanding in my daily life, to honor the body You’ve created, and to reflect Your love in how I care for myself. Let my choices glorify You and bring health and joy into my life.
Father, thank You for letting me know
the beauty of how intricately You have designed my body. You created every cell, every system, and every process within me to work in harmony, reflecting the care You put into all of creation.
Thank You, Father, for helping me understand that
nutrition is more than just eating; it is a way to receive Your provision and love daily. Every meal is a reminder of how You sustain and strengthen me, just as You nourish my soul with Your Word.
Thank You, Father, You created food for me
with purpose and joy. Each nutrient, every ingredient, and the variety of flavors are gifts from You, designed to bring me life, energy, and health. You remind me that just as I need physical nourishment, I also need to seek spiritual nourishment in Your presence.
