Sometimes, I forget I need God’s power to stay away from food. The world tells me I need willpower and determination to eat healthy. I know my food slips are attempts to fix emptiness only God can fill. I need to turn to God for comfort instead of food.

Psalm 121:1-2 is “I look up to the mountains – does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015)

God is my source of strength. I have unsuccessfully tried to eat healthy on my own and failed. When I turn to Him, He takes away problems I try to solve with food. God helps me enjoy healthy food instead of sticking to a rigid diet. He helps me live peacefully without overeating.
