A Journey Back to Myself - Notes on True Nourishment

Image
     It’s early morning, and everything is still completely quiet. I’m sitting with a cup of tea, thinking about everything I’ve been through over the past year. If I’m being honest with myself, when I first started this journey, my goals were completely different. I just wanted to lose weight, look better in the mirror, and feel lighter. Completely normal, human things. But somewhere along the way, the direction shifted, and I realized that changing the body is just the tip of the iceberg . When you try to change your habits, you quickly realize that food is never just food. It is deeply connected to our emotions. All those moments when we overeat or consciously starve ourselves aren’t actually about physical hunger. We are trying to feed an inner emptiness  - fear, loneliness, built-in stress, or simply a need for comfort that we don’t know how to give ourselves any other way. From a psychological perspective, our body is like a mirror of everything we hide inside....

Humility is an essential virtue

 As human beings, we often have our own plans and desires that we want to achieve. We set goals, make plans, and work towards them with determination. However, as we journey through life, we quickly realize that things don't always go as we had planned or hoped. It's in these moments that we need to remind ourselves of the powerful #prayer, "Lord, Your Will be done."
The prayer of "Lord, Your #Will be done" is a powerful reminder that we are not in #control of everything that happens in our lives. We need to have the humility to recognize that our plans and desires may not always be in line with God's plan for us. It requires trust in God's plan and the #calmness to #surrender our will to His.
#Humility is an essential virtue in the #Christian #faith. It means recognizing that we are not the center of the universe and that our plans may not always be the best ones. By praying, "Lord, Your Will be done," we acknowledge that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). We submit ourselves to God's plan and seek His guidance, trusting that He knows what is best for us.
Trust is another important #virtue that we need to cultivate in our Christian walk. Trusting in God's plan can be #challenging, especially when things don't go the way we had hoped. We may be tempted to doubt God's #goodness and question His plan. However, by praying, "Lord, Your Will be done," we express our #trust in God's sovereignty and His #love for us. We believe that #God is in control, and He will work all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).
Finally, the prayer of "Lord, Your Will be done" brings #calmness to our #souls. When we surrender our plans to God, we #letgo of the need to control everything. We no longer have to worry about the future or obsess over our goals. Instead, we can rest in the #assurance that God is in control, and He will lead us where we need to go. This gives us a sense of #peace and calmness, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
