Don't eat a meal in anger!

Don't make a decision when you are angry. Don't eat a meal in anger either! Food is not our enemy, but it is a tool of anger that we misuse.

Proverbs 29:11 A fool utters all his anger; But a wise man keeps it back and stills it.

Many with eating disorders have developed it by stifling emotions. Our recognition on our way to recovery will eventually end the occasion of taking frustrations out on food.

For some it means contemplation and reflection. For some it may mean walking away from a destructive relationship or vocation. For some it means deep counseling. But if you recognize yourself as an anger eater, you need to bring it to the Lord and seek deliverance from your disorder.

Jesus said to his followers, "Come apart with me to a quiet place and get some rest." (Mark 6:31) His rest begins with confession, journey's on to repentance, and reaches the designation of recovery.

Do not be deceived that this is a carnival journey. It is not fun and gaiety. It takes time, Wisdom and patience. Begin thanking God that He is in absolute control of your life. Throw out the lifeline and follow Him patiently to the means He sends you on your journey to deliverance.

Prayer: Lord God, I can be an angry, inward person. I have possibly developed a disorder with food because it is a release. Help me to deal productively with emotions and quit being a victim of life. I will listen to You. I will learn. And Father, I change my focus of self to You, through Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen
