Just for Today

You don't have to figure out how you're going to eat well for the rest of your life today.

You only need to make the next right choice.

For me, recovery became much more manageable when I stopped looking so far ahead.

What will I do at Christmas?

What about my next vacation?

Can I really give up my binge foods forever?

Those questions could become overwhelming.

Instead, I learned to focus on today.

What food have I planned for today?

Have I prayed about my eating today?

Am I willing to follow through on my commitments today?

Jesus said, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself." Matthew 6:34 (KJV)

We don't need tomorrow's strength today.

God will give us what we need when tomorrow comes.

For today, we can simply ask Him for the willingness and strength to make the next right choice.
