It’s a stressful day, nothing is going my way. Some unforeseen urgent task has just landed in my lap. The kids are hungry and I’ve skipped a meal. I’m off my plan and ready to eat everything in sight. Does this sound familiar?
Food can seem like a good place to turn. It can provide temporary comfort with long term consequences. Stress and the need for comfort are never the right reasons to eat.
In the past, I turned to food all too often. Now, I turn more and more to prayer. There is no situation that I find myself in that God doesn’t already know about and can’t handle. We all know this truth, but living it can be more difficult.
Plus, God puts people in our lives to help us along the way. Just this week, I was in just such a situation. I sent a text to a friend asking for prayer. Knowing a friend was praying for me made a difference and kept me on track.
What about you, where do you turn for support?
