I have “food noise” constantly in my brain. Thoughts about food pop into my mind throughout the day. I worry about food that will be served when I go to someone’s house or to a restaurant. Sometimes I obsessively plan what I will eat to stay on track. When I continually think about food, I am distracted and tempted to overeat.
Luke 12:29 is, “Don’t strive for what you should eat and what you should drink, and don’t be anxious.
Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017
Jesus teaches us not to worry but to trust in Him. These uncontrollable thoughts about food in my mind are worry. Trusting the Lord for my daily bread is surrender to His plans for my life. He will provide food I need even when I don’t plan ahead. Jesus guides me to make better food choices and helps me stick to my eating plan. Trusting in God keeps me from worrying about food.
