《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Thirty-Three, Good Friday Special

Day Thirty-Three, Good Friday Special.
Verses: "'From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ). When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah." Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him." And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!"
Matthew 27:45-54
Today is Good Friday, happy Good Friday everyone! Today is the day where Jesus was beaten and died on the cross. In the verses above, I didn't put in how Jesus died but if you want to read that part just go to Matthew 27.
Jesus went through so much pain on Good Friday. But death couldn't even stop God's love for us. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, because He loves us so much. On Sunday, Jesus will rise again but today is remembering Jesus death on the cross.

Maybe right now, you are struggling with pain. Whether it's mental, physical, and spiritual. No matter what pain you are facing: God knows pain, God will grab your hand, and help you through it.
Lately I have been struggling with physical pain due to fibromyalgia (maybe rheumatoid arthritis? No doctor has told me for sure if I have it or don't). I do know that God has been by my side, this whole time. Even at my lowest, God was there for me.
No matter what you are going through: God is here for you to. God will grab your hand, love you, comfort you, encourage you, guide you, comfort you, help you, and always be there for you.
Today is a day of remembering Jesus death but also knowing Jesus will rise again. Let's be thankful of Jesus today. That Jesus died a horrible death to save us. Because God's love is stronger than death. God's love is unfailing, unchanging, and unbreakable.
With God by your side, you can do anything! God can and will help you with what you are struggling with. No matter what pain you are facing: God is mightier, bigger, and stronger than anything we will ever face. We can always count on God.
So run into God's arms today! Be thankful for Jesus today! Happy Good Friday everyone!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I want to thank you for Jesus. I thank you for Him dying on the cross to save me. I thank for your love. I am running into your arms. Please grab my hand and help me through whatever I am going through. I know God that with you by my side, I can do anything. I pray you come and help me. I need you Lord so please come and be close to me.

Before They Came (Magical Apocalypse)
Our way of life it ended faster than we ever thought possible. It didn't happen with a nuclear war, an asteroid, or a damn ice age. It ended because of another war, far away from us. The Ripples from that war changed the fabric of everything. If only we had known that it was just the beginning. Btw, the beginning chapters are short, but get longer as the story goes on. Thank you for your time and your patience. CLARIFIER: The MC struggles with himself. He has human flaws including IGNORANCE. The MC starts the story out drunk, which has a major impact on the story in the beginning and way beyond. The story takes time to unfold, please be patient. This story does not shy away from the darker elements of life.

Eternity
What is it like to live forever? Is it a blessing? To experience the world changing around you, unaffected by time? For Typhos Dillian, immortality is a curse. He had all the time in the world to learn new things, but instead he spends his time wishing to die. Haunted by ghosts of his long past, Typhos spends his days drinking, having sex, and attending his job as a barkeep. Worst of all, he keeps his powers locked away. He has seen the world change. What once was common, mana, is now a rare trait. Those with mana are heralded as either monsters or heroes, and Typhos wants no part of it. However, when something happens to one of his rare friends, Typhos might be forced to once more activate the terrible power that has been dormant inside of him for years. Note: If you do not like overpowered characters, leave now, he's quite old.

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
