Bad things happen when I take control instead of trusting Jesus. My ways can make conditions worse instead of better. I forget the creator of the universe is on the throne. The Lord desires me to trust Him instead of forcing my way. He can make the impossible happen. This even works when I seek help for weight loss.

Psalm 145:15 is, “All eyes look to You, and You give them their food at the proper time.”

Holy Bible, Holman Christian Bible, 2009

I have tried forever to lose these last 15 or so pounds. I know I can trust the Lord with everything, but sometimes want to do it my way. Everyday, I need to dwell in Jesus and trust Him to provide my food. This keeps me from seeking weight loss hacks or falling into temptation. I surrender everything to God, including my daily food.
