Start craving God instead of Food

Psalm 5:1-3 says:
 
Listen to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.
Hear my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
 
 
God craves to hear from us. He wants to spend time with us. I have been trying many different diet programs and found some that work. But I also found that they take a lot of time; planning meals, snacks, exercise. It all just became too time consuming. Before I knew it that is all I thought about and much to my friends and coworkers dismay, probably all I talked about for a while. It occurred to me one day, what if I craved God as much as I craved food? What if I spent that time of planning what I was going to eat, with prayer and seeking Him ? When you feel tempted to give in to those old unhealthy eating habits take that craving to God. Start praying every time you have a craving. He wants us to come to Him with everything, no matter how big or how small. I challenge you to do this for a week and you will find that you will stop craving the foods that are unhealthy for you and start craving God!
