Day Seventy
Verse: "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:8
Control and Trusting in God.
If you are anything like me, then you are a control freak. I make plans after plans, to do lists, and when things don't go the way I have planned: I freak out. I used to be a really bad control freak until I was diagnosed with chronic illness because with chronic illness there are some things you can't control. You can't control how bad your pain will be that day, you can't control how the weather will affect your pain, and you can't stop the pain. But most importantly, I have learned to trust God. But before getting diagnosed with chronic illness it lead to me to a point where I couldn't do life on my own anymore. I needed God. I put my faith and trust in God. Putting my faith and trust in God changed my life forever.
I don't know what struggles you are going through or what been through but I do know that being a control freak never works out. Our plans for our lives, don't work out.
Why?
Because God's plan for your life is SO much better than your plan.
Because God says:
'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. '
Jeremiah 29:11
We just need to put our faith and trust in God.
Why?
Because God promised us:
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 is always faithful. (Psalm 33:4)
God keeps His promises. (Deuteronomy 7:9)
In this world, everything changes: the weather, people, plans, but God never changes. God is always good (Psalm 31:19). God is always in control and He has the best plans for our us. But we have to trust in Him and His plans.
Trusting God and giving God control to your life is like faith. Even though you can't see God, you still know He's there. But by seeking God you feel His presence, talk to Him, and hear him to talk to you.
But it takes a leap of faith to put trust in God and give God control of your life.
But I believe it will be the best leap you could ever make because once you jump, God will be waiting right there to catch you, love you, encourage you, comfort you, guide you, give you peace, give you grace, and give you everything you could ever need.
So take that leap! Jump into Jesus's arms today!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I am taking that leap, I am jumping into your arms. I am giving you control of my life. I am putting my faith, hope, and trust in you. I know you are good. I know you have amazing plans for my life. I believe in you and all your promises. I believe you keep your promises. I believe you are good and faithful. So please wrap your arms around me and give me anything I need. Help me to build a close relationship with you by me seeking you. Please grab my hand and help me walk through life with you by my side.

However, little do they know that fate has a twist to spin. As they fight it out in a folorn map, they stumble upon a secret teleport gate. Out of curioisity, they all enter it. They find a world more graphicly advanced than the current number one game, and NPCs that really don't act like they should. The game settings are similar to Orge's Bone; there are no levels, only physical strenght gains, which is gained by killing monsters and completing quests. They treat the hidden world as their greenhouse– a place to retreat when the real world treats them unfairly. But after a while, they discover no everything is as it seems– that the hidden world is far more dangerous. Michael is a cultivator whose goal in life is to change the tragic martial world, where killing is like breathing, into a land of peace.

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
