God's Word in Proverbs 3:5-6 says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on you own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." We have eaten for so many reasons besides just hunger. With the 12 Steps, particularly Steps 2 and 3, we remember that we can trust in God to help us in all situations, and turn our will over to our good and gracious God. Our lives are so much more peaceful and joyful when we remember to do this. it also honors God and gives Him glory when we trust him. We are reassured that He works all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). That's "all things" and not just some things. That includes our food and struggles with overeating. Trust Him, rest in peace and joy in the knowledge of his love for us. Life will be better when we do.
