Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer & petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 NIV Bible
Recently, I wanted to eat more after having a really filling dinner. I tried to prayerfully contemplate why that was. I thought about my lunch, and it was filling, as well. I couldn't figure out why I still felt so hungry and wanted to eat more.
I asked the Lord why I felt this way, and the feeling the Lord God had on my heart, was that I was feeling anxious about something I watched on TV. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that He was exactly right! The things I had watched really stressed me out, and my anxiety was getting the best of Me!
The tricky thing is, I have a feeling that I will be seeing more stressful things on TV, and I wasn't sure what to do. In fact, that has happened several times, since this happened. It is vitally important that during stressful times, especially since I'm what I call, "A Stress Eater," that every time I'm feeling extra hungry when I shouldn't be hungry, I turn to the Lord in prayer about it. He is able to refocus me, so that I don't eat the door knobs off. That's my expression for what it feels like when I'm very stressed and feel starved, because of the stress, to the point that I feel I could eat the door knobs off!
