This morning as I went into prayer with the Lord. I spent time with him and journaled with Him. He brought such peace and comfort to me this morning.
You see, a week ago, I started organizing my pictures to scrapbook them and it brought a flood of memories, pain and hurt from the past. This pain brought old insecurities and feelings of not being loved or accepted by family members and others. So needless to say, I found myself turning to the old comfort foods.
I went to the Lord this morning in repentance and asking for His forgiveness. It is Him that I needed to turn to and not the food as that was an old behavior. The scriptures He gave me this morning were incredible.
Psalm 139:14 – I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
John 10:10 – The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Ephesians 3:16-17 – I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
Revelation 3:19 – Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
Psalm 6:10 – All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
Proverbs 3:10 – then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
When the Lord speaks to me through His word it is the most amazing time of my life. It brings me into alignment with Him and His Word and who He wants me to be!
I am once again at peace and know that these people can no longer hurt me. I do not need to control the pain through food in which I turn for comfort. I turn to the Lord for total peace and comfort and unconditional love.
This journey is not easy. God said that our journey here would not be easy. I think that as our journey becomes difficult God is testing our faith and strengthening our character.
Satan is a liar! We must all remember that! He comes to kill, steal and destroy. We are to bind him up and throw him below our feet into the lake of fire. He does not have control over our life. God is in complete control! When we turn to God, we will have our peace, our comfort, our love, our future, and yes, our health!
I continue on this journey into health with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I will not let the past dictate to me what I will do but rather turn to God and ask for His guidance and what He will have me do.
Stay in faith. Walk in His light and His love!
