The One Prescription That’ll Make You Worship… Without Even Knowing It

 

Let’s just call it out:

Modern life has turned “health” into an identity, a lifestyle, and—if we’re honest—a performance sport.

We’re out here meal-prepping like chemists.
Cold-pressing juices like alchemists.
Tracking sleep like NASA engineers.
And buying seeds, raw nuts, and ancient grains like they’re tiny messengers of destiny.

And you know what?
Whole foods are powerful. They reduce inflammation. They balance hormones. They help you think clearer, feel lighter, live longer. They’re like tiny sermons whispering, “Your body was made for something real, not artificial.”

But here’s the twist:

Nutrition doesn’t stop at your mouth.
Your soul is eating too.

Every time you open your phone… you’re feeding something.
Every time you chase a title… you’re feeding something.
Every time you worry about your bank balance… you’re feeding something.

Whatever you consistently feed
—your attention, your affection, your devotion—
that becomes your functional god.

And most people never realize they’re worshiping anything at all.

But worship isn’t bowing down.
It isn’t chanting.
It isn’t lighting candles or singing songs.

Worship is simply what you give the best of yourself to.

Your best focus.
Your best energy.
Your best time.
Your best imagination.
Your best hope.
Your best fear.

So when you step back and look at your “diet,” ask:

What have I been feeding—and what has been feeding on me?

Because here’s the hard truth:
Money is a terrible god.
Career success will never love you back.
Your spouse can support you, but they can’t sustain your soul.
Social media can hype you, but it cannot heal you.

There’s a reason all this optimization still leaves people feeling depleted.

There’s a reason high performers hit a wall.
There’s a reason even the healthiest people still feel spiritually winded.

Your soul was designed with a different appetite.

A bigger appetite.
A divine appetite.

And that’s where the unexpected invitation appears:

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.” — Psalm 34:8

Not the vague idea of God.
Not the algorithm-friendly “universe.”
Not the “higher power” we mention when life gets heavy.

But the Creator of the cosmos—
the Living God who formed your cells,
who designed your breath,
who wired your longing for meaning,
and who made you to walk with Him,
not just think about Him.

So how do you actually worship the God of the universe?

Start simple.
Start honest.
Start human.

1. Give Him your attention.
Look up.
Speak to Him in plain language.
Shift the gaze of your inner world toward His presence—even for 30 seconds.

2. Give Him your affection.
Let gratitude rise—naturally, not forced.
Notice beauty.
Say “thank You” for breath, sunrise, laughter, the fact you’re still here.

3. Give Him your devotion.
This isn’t performance—it’s alignment.
It’s setting your priorities with Him in mind.
It’s choosing purpose over pressure.
It’s letting His voice matter more than culture’s noise.

And suddenly… worship stops being a religious ritual.
It becomes an ecosystem.
A relationship.
A daily recalibration that feeds you instead of draining you.

Because the God who made the universe?
He made you the same way He made seeds, fruits, and grains—
with intentional design, built-in potential,
and an appetite for something real.

Thought-Provoking Questions

1. What have you been unintentionally worshiping through your attention, affection, and devotion?

2. If you gave even 1% more attention to the Living God this week, what might shift in your inner world?

Whole foods can nourish the body.
Healthy habits can strengthen your mind.
But worship?

Worship is the prescription that nourishes your soul.
And the God who made you is inviting you back to the table.
