Day Forty-One.
Verses: "'You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.'"
Psalm 30:11-12
My Mom and I this past week have been listening to Joyce Meyer's Radio Podcast. She's amazing you should totally listen to her podcast and read her books! This week she was talking about mindsets. She asked a question that, what if what you are praying for right now, never happens, will you still praise God, love God, and be happy? I have been really thinking hard about that question. What if my physical pain, never gets better? I have decided I am done waiting for pain free to be happy. Despite my pain, I can and will be happy because my joy comes from God.
Maybe right now, you are really struggling. Maybe you have lost your joy. Maybe you are a battling an illness and you are not sure if you will ever get better. I know that feeling. We all have to learn to stop waiting for things to get better and then we will be happy. We have to learn to be happy no matter what we are going through because true joy comes from God, not circumstances.
On my birthday (which was Tuesday I turned 21!) I decided that no matter what happened, no matter how much pain I was in, that I was going to have a good day. You know what? I did have a good day because I changed my mindset. I decided that I am going to have that mindset everyday because I want to have God's joy.
How do you get God's joy? By praying, seeking God all the time, and reading your Bible. We need to not just pray once for God to give us joy, we have to constantly seek His joy. By constantly seeking God, He will give us His joy. But we have to do our part by praying and reading our Bible. I know I don't read my Bible like I should. So I will read it with you!

We also have to change our mindset to: "No matter what circumstances I am facing, I will be happy and joyful because my joy and happiness goes from God."
Because no matter what we are facing: we can always put our faith, hope, and joy in God. He is trustworthy and He loves us so much.
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that you give me your joy. I pray as I seek you, spend time talking with you, and as I spend time in your word that you give me your joy. Not joy based off circumstances but true joy in you. I pray that you grab my hand and help me with what I am facing. I know that with you by my side, I can do anything!
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

The Swarm
Anthony had been looking forward to playing the hottest new virtual reality game. When he put the VR helmet on he was met with a prompt asking him if he wanted to take a test to become a swarm knight. Thinking that this was one of the classes in the game he accepted. Instead of finding himself in the game, Anthony found that he was transported to a different planet. A planet where he would learn the greater truth of the universe. Everything was based on magic in the universe. Except that magic was based on nanorobots, called the swarm, that had been created through highly advanced technology. Genetics determined the access level and the amount of control that someone could wield over the swarm, and therefore their status in this society. Long ago Earth had been cutoff from the swarm. Now that it had been rediscovered, Earth would be reintegrated into the swarm. Unfortunately when that happened all the current technology on Earth would fail and be replaced with the ability to use magic. In effect, it would be the system apocalypse. As someone able to control the swarm, Anthony found himself in the unique position to influence how Earth was reintegrated into the swarm. Perhaps he could change things enough to save most of the people on Earth. But first he would have to learn how to control the swarm and become one of the leaders in the society he found himself in. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it somewhere between PG-13 and R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, and nudity.
