Recovering from an Eating Disorder through Christ

Power Thoughts

Find what Jesus, the Word says about your identity. Find a scripture that brings light into your life. Ask others to stand with you and be your life line during times you need it. This person needs to be patient and affirming. Jeremiah 29:11-13 explains: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” In Proverbs: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths."
