《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!

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!

The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.

Lawman.
Lawman follows the exploits of Relovan, a Human Police Enforcer stationed on the BlargonianPlanets – a series of small planets on which pure Essence is mined, and refined into fuel. On hisday off, he finds himself and his fellow Enforcers caught up in a fight between two Void Lords,beings of immense power, who answer only to the Council, after the pair of Void Lords touchdown on the Station, seeking to refuel their respective Void Walkers. In the ensuing clash,Relovan punches above his weight and subdues a number of Void Knights – those in the serviceof the Void Lords – before becoming directly involved in the confrontation between the VoidLords themselves. His performance during the incident catches the attention of the current PoliceChief, Nura, who essentially takes him under his wing, and assists him in various ways,including when he is summoned to answer before the Council for getting involved in the spatbetween the two Void Lords. The book ends after the conclusion of the Hearing.Relovan is a stickler for the Law – something that prompted him to learn not only the laws ofvarious territories and planetary systems, but also the native languages and customs, so as touphold the law as best he can. As a highly trained, and immensely skilled former soldier,Relovan’s abilities along with his latent talent regarding the use of Essence, allow him to hangwith beings infinitely more powerful than him. Lawman is a full length manuscript that I will likely self publish once I have the artwork for it.
