Day Twenty-Two.
Verse: "'Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.'" 1 Peter 5:7
I know I am very stressed right now. Today I went to the ER because my eye has a stye in it and my eye is almost swollen shut. I didn't see myself getting a stye, don't you love it when life throws you curveballs like getting an eye stye? So hopefully this medicine for my eye will help. My Mom has her brain surgery next week. I am so anxious about her surgery. I am still struggling with physical pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis. I am seeing a new doctor for my physical pain and I am nervous about that. I just feel so overwhelmed. Honestly I am doing a horrible job on "casting my cares on God."
If you feeling stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed like me. As humans our natural reaction to stress is try to "figure it out on our own." When really, that is a horrible idea.
Yesterday I tried to pop my stye (horrible idea, I just made my eye hurt worse. Sorry if that was tmi.) We can learn from my horrible idea to fix my eye myself. Instead of trying to do things on our own, we need to reach out to God, our family, our friends, and in my case, go to the doctor.
When we are struggling, God doesn't want us to run away from Him. He wants us to run to Him! Because He loves us and He will help us through whatever we are going through. We don't have to go through life on our own. God wants us to come to Him! He is waiting for us. He will rejoice in you coming home to Him! He will grab your hand and carry you through the storms you are facing.

I know right now more than ever, I have to put my faith, hope, trust, and cast all my cares to God. Because I know I can't handle these circumstances without God. I need God. I know that He loves me and can't wait to help me.
God loves you and can't wait to help you to. All you have to do is go to God in prayer, and surrender everything to Him. God will take control. God will guide you and help you through this storm.
You also don't have to pretend you are okay in front of God. If you are mad at God, tell God that. God is big enough to handle your anger. If you are depressed, tell God that to. He can help you through depression. God can give you His hope to hold on to as you face this storm.
Instead of trying to do things on your own, let God take control. Instead of running from God because you are struggling, run to God. Let this storm draw you closer to God. God is here for you and He loves you very much.
Prayer:
Dear God,
Right now I am really struggling. I am surrendering everything to you. I know I can't do life on my own. I need you Lord. I am casting everything to you: my fears, my worries, my anxiety, depression, pain, and just surrendering everything to you Lord. Please come grab my hand and become closer to me than ever before Lord. I believe in you Lord. I know you are so good and you love me so much. I pray that this storm I am facing, let it bring me closer to you Lord.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.

AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots... Please leave a comment! If you want to help me more, support me on Patreon. I'm always trying to come up with new ways for you to participate in this journey. New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!
