Day Seventy-Eight.
Verse: "The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving." Psalm 28:7
Praising God through the storms.
Maybe right now, you are really struggling. Maybe you are struggling with an illness or some horrible circumstances. Maybe you are facing a huge storm. No matter what you are going through: God will help you through this storm and no matter your circumstances you can praise God through this storm.
How do you praise God through the storms?
1. It starts with changing your mindset.
If all you focus on is how horrible life is and how you will never get through this. What you think, you will believe. So you need your change your thoughts and mindset, and it's not easy. It doesn't happen overnight. As Joyce Meyer says: "you don't have to think and dwell on every thought that comes into your head." You need to think about the good things in your life, think about your blessings, and about God. You can't do this alone, so start praying now for God to change your mindset and think of positive thoughts.
I used to always think of the negative thoughts and I was always sad and down. But since I have been praying to God to help me change my mindset, and I started thinking positive thoughts. Now even though I am struggling with pain from chronic illnesses, I am joyful and happy now. I am a whole new person now! If I can do it, so can you.
2. You have to start focusing on your blessings in your life and on God.
Start making a list everyday of the blessings in your life. Count your blessings everyday and focus on your blessings. Because as my Dad always says: "you find what you are looking for." If you focus on finding the blessings in your life, you will find them. But also if you focus on the negative things, you will find them as well.

3. Focus on God by reading His word, praying, listening to Him, and worshiping Him.
The more time you spend with God, the more you will praise Him because you see all His promises and goodness. Because no matter your circumstances, you can be joyful and praise God because God will help you through it. God loves you and will always help you. So start spending time reading about praise and joy in the Bible, pray for God to help you praise Him and ask for His joy. You can sit in silence and listen for God to speak to you. You can also worship God by turning on your favorite worship music, lifting your hands, and singing to God.
You need to lift your eyes above your circumstances and focus on God's goodness.
Here are God's promises and goodness:
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)
God is good. (Psalm 31:19)
God has an amazing plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11)
You CAN and WILL do this. Why? Because God is by your side, and with God on your side, you can do anything! So keep going, keep praying, keep believing, and you can praise God through any storm.
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I seek you that you help me change my mindset, have joy, focus on you, focus on my blessings, and help me praise you through any storm. Because I know God that you are good. I believe in you and all your promises Lord. I believe as I spend time with you, you will help me. I pray you grab my hand and help me through this. Help me walk through life with you by my side.

There, he was given a chance to reflect on a conundrum. Which felt worse?

The Girl Named Rino
Oh. Hello. I didn't see you come in. No, don't worry. I don't need to hear your name. I already know what it is. I also knew that you'd come up at around this time. But, at the same time, I also didn't know. It's very hard to put into words - but that's what happens when you become the Chaos God. Your psyche gets messed up, big time. That's even more so for me, who was already warped enough to confuse reality with imagination - and, even make the rest of the universe believe that it was so. But, enough about me. Let's talk about you. You seem to come from a very far away land. It's faint, but your presence is there - in a relatively primitive planet. No wonder, no one wanted to stay in, or conquer your region of the universe - there's nothing worth controlling there. Your existence, much like your entire solar system, also seems to be pretty insignificant. Tell me, is your race capable of destroying your own world? Oh, you're already well along the way? Global Warming? Pollution? Overpopulation? Nuclear weapons? Wow... it's been many millenia since I'd last heard of such ancient concepts from someone who is actually living through it. Still, good job getting that far. That means that your world is now, at least, worth considering as a possible place to install a World System. If I find the time, I'll try surveying it. You can just thank me, later. Oh wait! What kind of person am I, not even offering my guest any hospitality. I'm ashamed. Please, take a seat. What would you like? I have everything the multiverse has to offer, whatever it is you want - I can get. Ah! After we talk, would you mind, if I asked you to do me a tiny favor? There's this girl, I want to keep tabs on. She's in one of the Worlds that I preside over, it's called Aiarthe. But, for some reason, I can't see her - not directly, at least. All I need you to do, is check up on her from time to time. Whether you do it as a pure spectator or through someone else's eyes, is entirely up to you. Really!? You would!? Wow! Thanks! You really did me, a huge solid there! For agreeing so quickly, how about I get started on surveying that planet of yours, right now!? You can help yourself, to anything in the fridge! Well, see ya!
