Eating Disorders
An eating disorder is a complex struggle that affects body, mind, and spirit โ distorting how you see yourself and your relationship with food. Whether restricting, binging, or purging, the cycle feels impossible to break alone. God created your body as a temple and sees you with love, not judgment. These scriptures speak truth over distorted self-image, affirm your worth beyond appearance, and point toward the wholeness that comes from finding your identity and satisfaction in Christ.

Key Passages
God Looks at the Heart
1 Samuel 16:7
God looks at the heart, not the outward appearance.
7ut the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
Do Not Worry About Your Body
Matthew 6:25-27
Jesus directly addresses anxiety about the body - you are worth more than what you look like.
25herefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
