I used to dread uncertainty. I assumed the worst possible thing would happen instead of waiting to see how it turned out. Even when I prayed, I kept worrying and did not believe God would do what I thought was best.  The stress and fear drove me to food. Not only did I slip, but I was anxious without God to guide me.

Isaiah 42:16 is, “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.  These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”  (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011).  God lights up the darkness of my unclear path. When I lean on Him, He shows me steps I need to take. My focus shifts away from food and back to Him.  Stress melts away as I quit imagining horrible results.  I feel His peace and presence.  God helps me journey through uncertainty with less stress.
