Day Twenty-Three.
Verses: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
Right now, I am not okay. I have been struggling with my physical health for over a year now because of having fibromyalgia and now arthritis. Yesterday I got the news that I have a stye on my eye, the stye is so bad I have to have surgery on my eye. Tomorrow my Mom has brain surgery. To say the least, I am a mess. I am overwhelmed, in pain, exhausted, losing my hope in God, and I am not okay. But I do know that it's okay not to be okay. I do know that God is right here, beside me.
Maybe right now, you are struggling as well. Maybe right now, you are not okay and it's okay to not be okay. Maybe you are struggling with horrible circumstances and just don't know what to do. I do know that when we are struggling, God is right here, beside us.
Even when you are at your lowest, God is right beside you. He just wants to grab your hand and help you through this. Even when you want to give up on God, He will NEVER give up on you.
Last night, I was so down and depressed that I wanted to give up on God. But I knew I could never give up on God, because I love Him to much. Even though I am struggling, I am not okay, and I am mad at God. I could never give up on Him because He has never given up on me.
If you are struggling, God will give you His hope. He may not save you from your circumstances but He will give you the strength to face them. God may never heal me from my mental illnesses and chronic illnesses. But I do believe that everyday He will give me the strength and hope to face them.

You don't need to try to do life on your alone. God will love you forever. (Psalm 136:1) God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5) God will comfort you. (Isaiah 49:13) God will help you and always be there for you. (Psalm 121:1-2) God may not cure you from your illness or save you from your circumstances, but God will give you the strength, hope, joy, and peace to face your circumstances and keep going. (Romans 15:13)
Prayer:
Dear God,
I am a really struggling and I need your help. I can't do life without you Lord. I need your strength, hope, peace, joy, and rest to help me face my circumstances with you by my side. I know I can't do life without you Lord so please come be close to me and grab my hand. Help me walk through life with you by my side. I need you now more than ever Lord so please come help you. I know you love me forever and I know you will always be there to help me. You may not save me from my struggles but I pray you give me the strength and hope to face them.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.

(Taking place a little over halfway through the Mockingjay book and after the movie Mockingjay Part 1) This is a somewhat sequel to the other story I wrote called Hijacked, but I think you could read this without reading the other one.
