I Never Prayed About My Food… Until Everything Changed

Why is food the one thing we don't think to pray about?

We pray about our kids, our marriages, our finances…

but our eating? Not so much.


For years, I believed in God, but I never asked Him to help me with my food.

I thought, He has bigger things to worry about than my overeating.


But the day I finally prayed sincerely about it… something changed.

Not instantly.

Not perfectly.

But it began to change me from the inside out.


I realized God wasn’t ignoring my struggle — I was.

He cared long before I ever asked for help.


Bill W.’s spiritual experience was dramatic, but most of ours happen quietly… in a moment of surrender… in a whispered prayer… in admitting we can’t do this alone.


If you’ve never invited God into your relationship with food, I gently encourage you to start.


Just a simple prayer:

“Lord, I need Your help with this. Help me to not overeat.”
