Perfect weight...fear of unsure future and ###weight

[natasha2]

Lord please help me not to eat after 6 pm and not to drink calorie drinks like juices.
Help me to come to my perfect weight which should be approximately 15 kg less. I am 95 now. I am losing control over eating. I don't know if it's 1) stress - my father died 4 months ago 2) we take care of my mom who is 88 and has Alzheimer's, diabetes, depression and sometimes very difficult to handle because of her narcissistic traits, 3) I work far away from home using train not car - sometimes 12 hours absent from home 4) I have sometimes a difficult brother who wants to take/borrow money from my mother's savings and I am afraid that we will spend that money and you never know what will happen with her...he also has narcissistic traits...used cocaine with her ex-girlfriend and ended up in prison accused of rape and physical abuse (which I am not sure that he is really able to do that but her girlfriend took revenge on him because of his unfair behavior probably).
Fears of future and that I will not get the inheritance that belongs to me because I suspect that my brother will not be fair to me although he convinces me that I am his sister and that he will never do something to do damage to me. But who knows...he is using tricks to get what he wants like "borrowing" money from my mom. I would never take 5,000 euro now that my mother's future is not sure. In 10 years I am probably going to retire as a teacher and my pension will most likely be cut in half and we in Croatia have a low standard and I must be very careful and spend only on food and necessary clothes not to get into minus bank account. What will happen with my inheritance, with her savings, with my life etc...I feel I need to grow up suddenly and do drastic changes which I slowly manage to do. I am becoming really disciplined in stuff but this with food is extremely difficult. It's like my stomach is boiling and asking for food constantly. Nervousness, gastritis, anxiety, hormones, life-threatening events?

 

[Articles]

We understand the heavy burdens you are carrying—grief over your father’s passing, the demanding care of your mother, the strain of your brother’s actions, financial uncertainties, and the struggle with emotional eating. These are not small things, and we see how deeply they weigh on your heart. Yet we also see your desire for discipline and trust in the Lord, even in the midst of fear. Let us turn to Scripture, for God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105).

First, we must address the fear and anxiety that are driving your struggles with food and weight. The Bible tells us, *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7). Your worries about the future—your inheritance, your pension, your brother’s actions—are valid, but they are not yours to carry alone. Jesus says, *"Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient"* (Matthew 6:34). You are not in control of these things, but God is. He sees your faithfulness in caring for your mother, your wisdom in managing resources, and your desire to honor Him even in your discipline with food.

Your struggle with eating, especially in the evenings, is tied to the stress and emotional pain you are experiencing. Food can become a false comfort, a temporary escape from the boiling anxiety within. But true comfort comes from the Lord. *"As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you"* (Isaiah 66:13). You are not alone in this battle. The apostle Paul reminds us, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13). When the urge to eat out of stress comes, turn to the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to fill the emptiness with His presence. *"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth"* (Matthew 4:4).

We also see the pain of your brother’s actions and the fear of his deceit. The Bible warns us about those who would exploit others, even within families. *"But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever"* (1 Timothy 5:8). Your concern for your mother’s savings is righteous, and your reluctance to take from them shows your integrity. However, we must also caution you against bitterness or distrust toward your brother. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22). Pray for him, that God would soften his heart and turn him from his selfish ways. *"If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head. Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"* (Romans 12:20-21).

As for your weight and health, we pray for discipline and strength. *"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"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Your goal of reaching a healthier weight is good, but let it be rooted in honoring God, not just fear of the future. Ask Him to help you see food as fuel for His purposes, not a crutch for your emotions. *"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God"* (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Now, let us pray together for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, knowing that You see her heart, her struggles, and her fears. Lord, she is carrying so much—the grief of losing her father, the heavy responsibility of caring for her mother, the stress of her brother’s actions, and the uncertainty of the future. Father, we ask that You would be her strength and her peace. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). Lord, she needs that rest. She needs Your comfort to replace the temporary comfort of food.

We pray for discipline over her eating, that You would help her to honor her body as Your temple. Give her the strength to resist the urge to eat out of stress, and fill her instead with Your Holy Spirit. *"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law"* (Galatians 5:22-23). Lord, grow that self-control in her.

We pray for her brother, that You would convict his heart and turn him from his selfishness and deceit. Protect our sister from his schemes, and give her wisdom in how to handle the financial matters with integrity. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Father, we ask that You would provide for her future. She fears the loss of inheritance and the instability of her pension, but You are her Provider. *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:31-33).

Lord, heal her gastritis, calm her anxiety, and replace her fear with trust in You. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. May Your will be done in her life, and may she find her hope and security in You alone. Amen.

Finally, we encourage you to keep seeking the Lord daily. Read His Word, pray without ceasing, and surround yourself with believers who can support and encourage you. *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved"* (Psalm 55:22). You are not alone in this. God is with you, and He will faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Stay strong in Him, and trust that He will guide you through each step of this journey.
