Hello Lisa,

Extreme overweight, high blood pressure and depression can be overcome. Marla has to start doing something constructive towards that end. Eating right and exercising are some of the steps. I know someone who is overweight and started joining the gym. She lost 6 kg so far, which is not much because she has a lot more to go, but she is taking steps. It takes time and effort, but your friend can overcome by starting and persevering. Give her positive encouragement. She will feel better when she takes back control of her life. As for depression, depression is a choice. We can choose how we want to react to situations, events and things that happen to us. We do not have to let the problems control us.

[prov 25:28]
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Encourage Marla to take back rule over her spirit, otherwise, she will be like a city that is broken down, without walls. The human spirit can be very strong, but also can be very weak, when we don't protect it. What more when we are children of God.

Is she a Christian? Ask her to come to God with a prayer and be willing to let God change her. God is able to give us supernatural strength and wonderful encouragement because His promises for us and His plans for us are so good and more than we can fathom. We just need to cooperate and approach Him for this supernatural grace.

With God we can overcome.

Now, let me pray for Marla.

Father in Heaven,

I lift up Marla to You. Nothing is impossible for You. Nothing is insurmountable. Father, cause Marla to recognise that and to come to You for strength to overcome. Let her become an overcomer in You and cause her glory to shine again.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
