Guilt Free Christmas! Eating with Intention!

Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”

Hebrews 12:11“No discipline is pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who are trained by it.”

THE CHRISTMAS FREEDOM FRAMEWORK- Three steps to enjoy food without guilt:

1. Pause & Decide-Before you grab something: Ask yourself: “Do I want this?” “Does this align with my goals today?” “Will this make me feel good afterward?”

2. Enjoy Intentionally

3. Release Guilt Immediately

Guilt never leads to aligned choices. Shame never grows fruit. Condemnation never produces transformation. If you overeat, simply say: “Lord, thank You for grace. Help me realign on my next choice.”

Lord Jesus, I love You so much. Thank You Father for giving us freedom, although sometimes I wish you’d just button up my mouth. Lord, help me enjoy food with intention and peace, remembering the true meaning of this season. Break off guilt, shame, and emotional pressure Lord, I want to only live for You. Guide my choices today and help me to focus on one meal, one choice at a time. Let me remember that the call is to serve others and make disciples, Lord let me serve others instead of my cravings. Steady my heart, and lead me in a path of health, gratitude and balance this Christmas season. Thank You for loving me Lord. It’s in Your Holy Name I pray, Amen.
