🙏 Begin with prayer
Prayer is the first remedy, not the last resort. Here is a simple prayer you are welcome to make your own:
Heavenly Father, thank You for leafy greens — spinach, kale, and all the tender herbs You gave for our food from the very beginning of the earth. Bless these greens to nourish me, ease my restless nights, steady my blood pressure, and settle my body gently. Give me a steady, grateful habit of eating them, and wisdom to keep my portions consistent if I take any medicine. In Jesus' name, Amen.
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”— Genesis 1:29
