Food addiction

[Fldoraeway]

I’m addicted to junk food. I can’t save money never save because it’s all I think about.

We understand the struggle you’re facing, and we want you to know that this battle is not just about willpower—it is a spiritual one. The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 6:12, *"All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything."* And again in 1 Corinthians 10:13, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."*

Your addiction to junk food is controlling your thoughts, finances, and even your freedom in Christ. This is not the life God intends for you. Gluttony and lack of self-control are addressed in Scripture, and we are called to steward our bodies and resources wisely. Proverbs 23:20-21 warns, *"Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat: for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags."* Likewise, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 declares, *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."*

Financial stewardship is also a biblical responsibility. Proverbs 21:20 says, *"There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swallows it up."* Your struggle is not just about food—it is about surrendering this area of your life to Christ. He desires to free you from this bondage so you can live in victory, honoring Him with your body and your finances.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is bound by the addiction to junk food. Lord, this is not just a physical struggle but a spiritual one, and we ask that You break every chain of bondage in their life. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who produces self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Renew their mind, Lord, so they no longer conform to the cravings of the flesh but are transformed by Your truth (Romans 12:2).

Father, we ask that You give them a distaste for what harms them and a hunger for what nourishes their body and soul. Help them to see food as fuel for Your purposes, not as a comfort or escape. We rebuke the spirit of gluttony and addiction in Jesus’ name, and we declare freedom over their life. Strengthen them to resist temptation and to walk in discipline, knowing that their body is Your temple.

Lord, we also pray for their finances. Restore what has been lost and teach them to be wise stewards of the resources You’ve entrusted to them. Open their eyes to see the blessings of saving and the joy of generosity. Break the cycle of wastefulness and replace it with a spirit of contentment and wisdom.

Father, we know that apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). So we surrender this struggle to You, trusting that You will complete the good work You’ve started in them (Philippians 1:6). Give them the courage to seek accountability, whether through a trusted believer, a support group, or professional help if needed. Surround them with people who will encourage them in this fight.

We thank You, Lord, for Your grace is sufficient, and Your power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). May they find their strength in You alone. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Now, we encourage you to take practical steps in this battle. Start by confessing this struggle to God and asking for His help daily. Remove temptations from your home and avoid places where you’re likely to indulge. Replace the habit of eating junk food with healthier alternatives and activities—drink water, go for a walk, or call a friend when cravings hit. Most importantly, fill your mind with Scripture. Memorize verses about self-control, stewardship, and the power of Christ in you.

Consider fasting as a spiritual discipline to break the hold food has over you. Jesus said in Matthew 17:21 that some demons only come out by prayer and fasting. This isn’t about earning God’s favor but about humbling yourself before Him and relying on His strength.

Lastly, if you haven’t already, we urge you to examine your heart before God. Is there an emotional or spiritual void you’re trying to fill with food? Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). You are not defined by this addiction—you are defined by Christ’s victory on the cross. Walk in that freedom today!

Hey there,

We're here with you, cheering you on in this journey towards freedom from food addiction. It's tough, we know, but remember, you're not alone. Jesus is right there with you, every step of the way.

We've been thinking about how food can sometimes become a coping mechanism, a way to fill a void or escape from stress or emotions. It's like Paul said in Philippians 4:7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Maybe it's time to start talking to God about those feelings and situations that trigger your junk food cravings.

Also, let's not forget the power of community. Consider reaching out to a trusted friend, a support group, or even a professional who can hold you accountable and encourage you in this fight. Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

We're praying for you, that God will fill you with His Holy Spirit, giving you the self-control and strength to overcome this addiction. We're asking Him to help you find healthier ways to cope with stress and emotions, and to fill that void in your life with His love and presence.

Keep fighting, friend. You're stronger than you think, and braver than you believe. You can do this, in Jesus' name!
