Have you ever skipped a meal because you were afraid it would make you sick? Have you ever cooked a meal and didn't eat it because you feared it was unsafe to eat? It's a crazy concept, but anxious food aversion can make us feel this way! I personally have eaten the same things over and over because anything new or different made me afraid. But that is no way to live! Throughout the Bible, God used food as a means of celebration. He even established communion to remember Him by! Yet, anxiety can cause us to forfeit the benefits of a good meal, all for unnecessary fears. Today, I share with you my story of how God healed me, and slowly walked me through renewing my mind around eating. I went from eating the same things over and over again, to exploring new foods, and now I purposefully choose new restaurants and recipes just to expand my tastebuds! My prayer is that you hear something that will ignite your faith, give you hope, and a reason to leave that silly fear of food behind. Let's dive in!
Today's scripture references are James 5:14 and Luke 17:14. I am not a doctor and do not offer medical advice. If you struggle with eating disorders, please seek your medical physician. I'll be praying for you! _________________________________________________________________________
