Turning It Over to God

Have you ever felt hurt so deeply that you didn’t know how to move forward?

Joseph did.

Betrayed by his own brothers and sold into slavery, he could have stayed bitter and angry. But instead, he chose to trust God through the pain. And in the end, he was able to say:

“What you intended for evil against me, God intended for good.” — Genesis 50:20

That’s what Step Three is all about:
turning our will and our lives over to the care of God.

We fight so hard to stay in control—but real freedom begins when we surrender.

If you’re struggling to let go of food, cravings, fear, or past hurts… you’re not alone.

God can carry what you were never meant to carry by yourself.

If weekends are where things tend to fall apart… you’re not alone.

This is where many people struggle:

a little more freedom
less structure
and those “just this once” moments

But this is also where change can start.

Not all at once—
just one decision at a time.

A pause.
A prayer.
A different choice.

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful…” — 1 Corinthians 10:13

If you’re ready for support walking this out step by step, I offer coaching to help you do that.

If eating healthy worked… this would have fixed it by now.

And that’s the part that feels so frustrating.

Because you’re trying.
You are making better choices.
And yet… something still feels out of control.

Basically, the point is…

👉 It’s not just about the food.

Because if it were,
this would have worked.

What’s often underneath is something deeper:

Stress
Loneliness
Habits that feel automatic
Wanting comfort at the end of the day

That’s why willpower and diets don’t last.

What actually helps is learning to pause in that moment…
bring it to God…
and walk through it with support.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

I’ll put my free How to Say No to Extra Food guide in the comments for anyone who needs it.

Why is it so hard to stop after just one bite?

You tell yourself, “Just this once.”
“Just a little won’t hurt.”
“I’ll do better tomorrow.”

But for many of us, that’s not where the struggle ends…
that’s where it begins.

Because “just a little bit” doesn’t always stay little.

It can bring back the cravings, the thoughts about food, and before you know it—you’re right back in the same cycle again.

And it’s not because you’re weak.

For some of us, these foods make it harder to stop once we start.

👉 Basically, the point is…
If “just one bite” keeps leading you back into the same struggle, it might not be harmless for you.

And that’s not failure—it’s awareness.

You don’t need more willpower to stop overeating.

If willpower worked… you wouldn’t still be struggling.

The real problem shows up in the moment:
the stress, the thoughts, the pull to eat when you’re not even hungry.

That’s why this isn’t about trying harder.
It’s about having a plan for those moments.

That’s what I help people do—
build a simple, faith-centered way to pause, pray, and choose differently.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

If you’ve been stuck in the same cycle, there is another way.

If this resonates, you’re not alone.

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7 (NIV)

When we remember God’s love, we find the courage to get through the difficulties in this life. He will walk with us through our difficulties. When we reach for God’s Word instead of food, we find we can overcome the temptation to overeat.

Dear Lord, help me to turn to Your Word instead of food. Keep my mind focused on You at all times. I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Step 2: There Is Hope

If you’ve ever felt like your eating is out of control… like no matter how hard you try, you keep going back to the same patterns… you’re not alone.

Step 2 is where things begin to shift.

It’s where we stop relying only on ourselves—and start believing that God can actually help us.

From my book 12 Steps to Recovery from Overeating:

“As Christians, we already have a faith in the God of the Bible, but do you believe that he can help us recover from the disorder of compulsive overeating?”

That question matters.

Because many of us believe in God… but we’re not sure He wants to be involved in our eating.

Or maybe we’ve prayed before and nothing seemed to change.

But Step 2 reminds us:
God is not distant from this struggle.

He sees it.
He cares about it.
And He is able to help.

Not just spiritually—but in the everyday moments when cravings hit and emotions rise.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own anymore.

“So do not fear, for I am with you… I will strengthen you and help you.” – Isaiah 41:10

The thing to remember here is…
Recovery doesn’t start with trying harder.

It starts with believing that God can do what we can’t.

If you want to go deeper into this step and the full recovery process, my book 12 Steps to Recovery from Overeating walks you through it step by step.

If you’re feeling worn out this week… you’re not alone.

It’s okay to be tired. Just don’t forget to rest. 💛

If this week felt heavy — you're not alone.

Between the demands of work, relationship stress, and trying to keep up with everything… I know I’m feeling worn out. And maybe you are too.

But here’s the good news:

You don’t have to earn your rest.

God created it for us — not as a reward, but as a rhythm.

So this weekend, give yourself permission to breathe.

🌿 Take a walk
🎶 Listen to music
😊 Laugh a little
📖 Read something that lifts your spirit

🙌 And on Sunday, let worship refill what the week has drained.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

Whatever your week looked like, know this:

God sees you. He’s not disappointed in your tiredness.
He invites you to bring your burdens to Him.

When we feel rested and at peace, we are less likely to overeat.

Praying for a peaceful weekend for you—full of light, laughter, and the love of Christ. 💕

Eating Out Doesn’t Have to Throw Everything Off (Subway Example)
Eating out doesn’t have to throw everything off.
It can be done fairly healthy if you’re careful. You don’t have to do it perfectly.
If you can eat at home and eat whole, healthy foods, that is best of course. Sometimes though it’s just about making a better choice in the moment.
Here’s what I did today at Subway.

It can be hard to make a change… even when we know it’s the right way.

If you feel like you’re standing at a crossroads with your eating, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too—wanting something different, but not sure how to actually get there.

The thing to remember here is… real change doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from relying on a loving God, having the right support, and following a clear path forward.

That’s exactly what this 4-week class is about.
