Ch. 1 What's Really Going On Here Discussion questions 3

3. If it's true that we are made to crave, how might it change the way you understand your cravings? Do you believe there could be any benefits to listening to your cravings rather than trying to silence them? If so, what might those benefits be? If not, why not? My cravings do need to be examined. I want something, and my mind seems to have been trained to go right to chocolate, or to bread, or coffee, or some wonderful combination of those things...regardless of what I really crave. Do I want comfort? Do I want pleasure? Do I just want to chew something crunchy? Sometimes I really am hungry, and that's all it is, but most of the time I want to be distracted from whatever it is I really need. Maybe because those needs can't be filled in a tangible or timely way. Then I just have to sit with thme and pray for God to fill those needs himself. This would be beneficial because it would lead to a greater dependence on God. But it sucks, the easier way is to numb that need. That's why it's so hard. 4.
