There have been many times that God has gotten me through insurmountable odds, when I didn't know what to do. I tried eating, I tried to develop a plan, I tried talking to my friends about these issues, to no avail. Actually, all of these just complicated things and made me so confused that I didn't know what to do.
I remember crying myself to sleep as I prayed to God for some answer to these issues, only to wake up the next morning with a calm feeling, knowing God had me in His very capable hands. Sometimes, He's even had me wake up with a specific plan of action in my mind that I had never thought of before.
Since I know how God's gotten me through situations of this nature in the past, you'd think that I would immediately turn to Him when situations arise. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Sometimes, I get too prideful trying to resolve situations myself, turning to God only as a last resort. You would think I would know better. He doesn't want to see me suffer through things alone, running into brick walls.
Fortunately, God never gives up on me and He hears and comforts me. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid me down and slept: I awakened; for the Lord sustained me. Psalms 3: 4
Since I have used this Bible passage as an example of how God has positively influenced my overeating, this does not necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the verse.
