While I believe wholeheartedly in the power of nourishing our bodies through food, movement, and healthy habits, I know for a fact that our spiritual and emotional well-being is even more important.
I’ve walked through some incredibly difficult seasons, from watching my mom battle cancer to facing my own serious health challenges, including a spinal infection that left me in tremendous pain.
Those experiences taught me something. Well, they taught me a lot of things, but one of the foundational truths I learned is that you can do everything in your power to take care of your physical body, but there will still be circumstances you simply cannot control.
And in those moments, I’ve learned just how important it is to lean on God.
To pray when you’re afraid.
To trust Him when you don’t understand.
To surrender everything to Him.
I can tell you firsthand that some of the greatest peace I’ve experienced has come during seasons when my circumstances were anything but peaceful.
So if you’re doing everything you can to improve your physical health, I want to encourage you not to neglect your spiritual health along the way.
Spend time in the Word. Make time for prayer. Surround yourself with people who strengthen your faith. And remember that you don’t have to carry every burden alone.
Because at the end of the day, adding years to your life is important...but so is adding life to your years.
