Choosing Faith Over Feelings in Moments of Emotion to Help with Emotional Eating

Writer: Julie KleinhansJulie Kleinhans

It's hard to make wise decisions when emotions are running high. Whether it's a stressful day, a frustrating conversation, or a temptation to turn to food for comfort, pausing in prayer can shift our focus from feelings to faith.


💡 Practical Steps to Choose Faith Over Feelings:

✔️ Recognize the Emotion – Acknowledge when you're in an emotional state.

✔️ Step Away & Reflect – Journal, breathe, or pray before reacting.

✔️ Let the Inflammation Settle – Just like physical inflammation, emotions need time to calm down.

✔️ Replace Comfort Food with God's Comfort – Turn to Him instead of unhealthy habits.

✔️ Pause & Pray – Let your wise mind take over before making a decision.


When we seek God's wisdom over our emotions, our choices become clearer, our words gentler, and our actions more in line with His will.


🙏 Next time emotions rise, take a moment to pause and pray. God will guide you.
