Learning to say No!!!
Why is it so hard to say no to those foods that look and taste sooo
delicious, but are soo bad for you? Well I wish I had that answer for you but I
don’t. But I know someone who can help you with the temptation. His name is JESUS, He is
the author and finisher of our faith. When we are struggling with tempation the
bible says in Phil 4:13 that “we can do all things through Christ Jesus who
strengthens us.” And it also says that..."No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV
So the next time you are tempted with food call on the Lord and say "Lord this is too hard to bare." This food is tempting me right
now, help me to choose to eat something that is going to benefit my body and not harm it.
Then grab something healthy to eat. If you work or at home, make sure you have
some fruit or nuts on hand to much on. Chug a glass of water, this also helps
you fill full. After, you’ve prayed and asked God for the strength and grabbed
a healthy snack you will see that you don’t crave or want that food anymore. Now if
you still do, because it’s happened to me. Pray again, and continue to pray
until the temptation is gone.
Yesterday night I was tempted by doughnuts and lollipops. But I had remembered that if I am going to change it starts now. It was hard at first, but i just thought at how much I will have to burn that off tomorrow. It wasn't worth it, and it was bad for me.
In His Hands,
