《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Eight

Day Eight.
Verses:
"'The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.'" Psalm 23:1-6
That verse above, has to be one of my favorite Bible verses of all time. That verse has always comforted me and encouraged me. Right now, I know I am struggling.
My physically pain has been horrible the past few days and that makes me really down. Yesterday I felt so down I had thoughts of suicide. Thankfully I didn't do anything, I just cried for a while. My bipolar has been bad lately because I am having tons of mood swings. When my physically pain is horrible it can make my mood horrible. So I am struggling.
Maybe right now, you are struggling with mental illness, chronic illness, pain, depression, cancer, or just anything. I don't know what you are going but I do know that God is right beside you.
Like it said in the Psalm: "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."
God is with you and me.
He is right there beside us, even when we can't see Him.
He is always there to love us, comfort us, help us, guide us, forgive us, encourage us, and just be there for us.

We just have to go to Him. He is waiting for us to come home. He knew we would have struggles and trials in this world. He NEVER promised us we would have an easy life. And when we do have struggles and trials, He wants us to go to Him. He created us with the need for Him. I have never believed in the saying: "God never gives us more than we can handle." Yes he does! He gives us more than we can handle so we can go to Him and depend on Him!
God never wants us to go through life alone and without Him. He wants YOU! Even if, you are struggling. Even if, you are having suicidal thoughts. Even if, you are depressed. Even if, you are mad at Him. Even if, you haven't talked with Him in a while. No matter what, He wants YOU to go to Him.
He loves you and He believes in you❤️
Prayer:
Dear God,
I am really struggling. I feel like I am walking through the darkest valley. I can't do this alone and I need YOU. So please come grab my hand and help me through this. I just want to be close to you God. Please love me, help me, forgive me, encourage me, guide me, comfort me, and just be there for you.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

King of Fools : Silver Tongue
A certain trickster spirit was fond of saying, 'me and my big fat mouth'. That could be Jasper Stone's motto. There's never been a situation in his life he didn't make worse by opening his mouth, because when he does, ridiculous amounts of trash-talk and overconfidence just spills out. He's never managed to do anything with his wits -- but when the God of Fools tosses him into another world for amusement's sake, he'll need to put them to use. Because there are bandits, dragons, and cultists out there -- none of whom appreciate Jasper's particular gift for insults. --Cover by the inimitable Vitaly S Alexius.
8 140The Great Core's Paradox
Book 1 available on Kindle, KU, and Audible! Name: Paradox Species: Snake, ? Description: A tiny snake with great potential. That was who I was. That was what I was. A tiny snake with great potential. The sole creation of the Great Core. It was just us, the Great Core and I, tucked away in our little corner of the World Dungeon. Together, we hid from the bad-things and the Coreless of the world outside - safe from the horrors that would consume us. Until, one day, the Coreless found us. Until they tried to steal away my creator. Until, with no other option, I swallowed the Great Core that had made me. Only after that did I become what I was always meant to be. At last, I became the Great Core's Paradox in more than name. [The Endless Cycle] began. Thus begins the story of a little snake zealot and his journey to greatness.
8 229Flap Merganser: Space Duck
This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out. Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.
