Commitment and Compulsive Behavior
February 16, 2008 |
Compulsive behavior can be overcome through commitment. Health can be achieved through commitment.
Commitment
When love fades, it is commitment that holds a marriage together. Commitment holds the marathoner to that last mile. Commitment draws on strength that we never knew we had. The apostle Paul says to commit our lives to God, to set it apart for His purpose. Commitment challenges us to do our best. It challenges us to be patient and to be persistent. It challenges us to ignore our feelings and to press on. Dedication to God is sealed with commitment. Make your diet a commitment to God.
A Statement of Commitment to God
“I make the commitment to turn my diet over to You, Lord. I will eat my food thankfully for what You have done. All this delicious, nourishing food is from You. I will take my time to relish every part of the blessing, from preparation to doing the dishes. I have a lot to be thankful for. I will try to eat the right amounts and enjoy each bite. This is my heart’s desire. I have been a slave to food and have battled with compulsive eating. Fear and insecurity arise when I feel hungry. Yet, I need to face it head on, knowing that You are with me. Eating natural foods is the healthiest diet for me. I want to feel the way You intended me to feel. I know that this is Your desire for me. You have designed fruits, vegetables, seeds and grains for the health of my body, so I want to eat the way You intended me to eat. I give my diet to You as a gift. I am denying myself, so that You may have more of me. Instead of food, I will rely on You for my peace, my joy and my pleasure. This is my commitment to You.”
