Being stuck at home caused me to break out old cookbooks. I am also trying new recipes from Pinterest since I have time to cook. With the stores out of bread, I dusted off my bread machine and used it. This extra time I spend preparing food, plus staying at home, both led to overeating in the past. God has changed me so I know to keep my eyes fixed on Him.

Hebrews 4:16 is, “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015

I want Jesus instead of food. My anxious mind needs peace that only the Lord brings. My worries don’t go away when I reach for food instead of God. As long as I seek Him, I can prepare meals for my family without fear of overeating. Jesus helps me walk through trials and calms my stress.
