Day Seven.
Verse: "If your heart is broken, you'll find God right there; if you're kicked in the gut, he'll help you catch your breath."
Psalm 34:18 MSG
Honestly, I am not okay. I have been doing better till yesterday. Yesterday I got a massage that is supposed to make me feel better but it made me feel worse. I have been in killing and unbearable pain ever since. I have been crying a lot, feeling down, and depressed. I have been angry at God for letting me having fibromyalgia and arthritis. I am not okay and it's okay not to be okay.
Maybe right now, you are really struggling with: a mental illness, a chronic illness, cancer, or just anything. You might not be okay, and that's okay. It's okay not to be okay. Just remember: that God is with you.
Some people think that when you are not doing good, you shouldn't go to God. When that is a lie from The Devil!
God loves you, just the way you are. Even if, you are struggling. Even if, you are mad at Him. Even if, you are depressed. He loves you, no matter what. He wants you to come to Him. Even if, you are not okay. He still wants you to come to Him.
In this world, when we are struggling, we have to fake smile and pretend we are okay. But we don't have to do that with God. God wants YOU. God wants YOU: just the way you are. You don't have to fake smile and pretend everything is great when you go to God. He wants you to be honest with Him.
He wants to help you, guide you, love you, comfort you, encourage you, and be there for you. All you have to do is go to Him and be honest with Him. He knows you are struggling and He wants to help you through it. Because like the verse above says: "God will find you there." No matter what you are going through, God will find you where you are and He will help you through it.

Prayer:
Dear God,
I am really struggling. I need your help. Please just wrap your arms around me and help me through this. I am not okay. I need you to love me, comfort me, guide me, hug me, encourage me, help me, and just be there for me. I know you will be there for me God because you love me so much. I thank you for Your love me and ask you to please be here for me.
I thank you for all my many blessing and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive dissapointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached that point.
