This Month's Musings
Scripture In Eating Disorder Recovery
Looking to scripture is a vital part of eating disorder recovery. The truth found in God’s Word truly does set one free. Whether an eating disorder sufferer is looking to scripture for strength, hope, love, acceptance, peace, forgiveness, or grace, it’s all right there.
There were two particular scriptures that meant a great deal to me when I battled my own eating disorder. One was Rom. 12:2, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” I took this scripture literally and wrote verses, quotes, and truthful statements on note cards to help me renew my mind. This was very effective for me in finding my freedom. The other scripture was Phil. 4:13, “I can do all things through him who gives me strength.” (NIV) I knew I couldn’t break free of my eating disorder on my own so I grasped onto this promise.
