Ever have one of those days when you skip time with God… and everything feels harder?
The stress hits fast.
The cravings flare up.
And suddenly you’re running on your own strength again.
In this week’s Reshape and Recover Podcast, Tony and I talk about why Step 11 — prayer and meditation — isn’t just a “nice idea.”
It’s the fuel for recovery from overeating.
For years, I thought I was too busy for a morning quiet time. Work, kids, responsibilities… you’ve been there too. But when I finally made space for God first thing in the morning, everything shifted:
✨ My cravings quieted
✨ My stress dropped
✨ My food choices lined up with my intentions
✨ And I began to notice God guiding me throughout the day
Not because I tried harder… but because I stayed connected.
We also share:
🔸 Why prayer aligns our hearts with God’s will
🔸 How biblical meditation actually works (and why it’s NOT “emptying your mind”)
🔸 A simple journaling method (SOAP) that makes meditation easier
🔸 Scriptures that anchor your thoughts when cravings and stress hit
🔸 Why morning time with God sets the direction for the whole day
If you’ve been struggling with consistency, slipping into old habits, or feeling spiritually distracted…
this episode will help you reconnect with the One who gives strength in the first place.
