listening

I enjoyed reading the last chapter of Thin Again today. The essence of the chapter is that quiet and silence are needed in order to hear from God.
We discussed that listening to God and obeying are more important than asking for so much so often.
One woman suggested we meditate and pray on scripture and ask God what He wants to show us through that scripture and then listen.
Another way is to meditate on the attributes of God. For example, Healer, Redeemer, Provider, Protector.
In Thin Within we need to get quiet before we can read our body signals of hunger and satisfaction. The environment needs to be calm and quiet so we can taste and enjoy our food and have it digest properly.
God will guide and direct our eating and every other area of our lives.
