《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day One Hundred and Fourteen

Day One Hundred and Fourteen.
Verse: 'I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord ; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of a horrible pit [of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear [with great reverence] And will trust confidently in the Lord . '
Psalms 40:1-3
In the Psalm above, David is writing about being very depressed. He tells how he cries out to God and God saves Him. Then David sings songs to worship God. I know sometimes when you feel depressed and you cry out to God, sometimes God doesn't save you from depression. It can feel like God doesn't love or care for you. But that is a lie! God loves you so much (John 3:16) and God does care for you (Psalm 121:1-2). But sometimes God lets us suffer.
I know I will never understand why I got diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar, social anxiety, and fibromyalgia. Honestly it still hurts me that I have fibromyalgia even though I was been diagnosed with it for two years.
Even though we may not understand why we go through trials and storms, God does have a good plan and purpose for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11). But God does bring good from our trials and storms.
Before I got diagnosed with all my illnesses, I wasn't writing, I wasn't close with God, and I was a shallow and selfish person. Now eight years later, I have written and published one book, I am writing this one, I was a close, real, and personal relationship with God, and now if I get accepted into the school of ministry, I will become a pastor and spend my life serving and loving God.

Even though trials and storms are horrible. You can still find good through the storm. Also through the trials and storms, God will be by your side, the whole time. God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5) God will be right beside you: helping you, loving you, guiding you, encouraging you, comforting you, forgiving you, and giving you everything you need to make it through that storm.
Then once you have made it through that storm, you will be able to sing songs of praises to God just like David did. You will be able to see God's goodness like never before! (Psalm 31:19)
Keep going, you can and will get through this storm!
Prayer:
Dear God,
Right now, I am going through a storm. I can't do it without you Lord. I pray you grab my hand and help me through this storm. I pray you bless me with everything I need to get through this storm. I know with you by my side, Lord, I can and will get through this. I know that I can do all things through you who strengthens me. I praise you for your goodness, love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Core .001
This is a story of Shiro, a 12 year old girl who wished to adventure around the world. Only to end up in an untimely death. When she wakes up, she finds herself in what seems to be a new world, and her body has changed to that of a catkin. Using her knowledge from knowing literature of people in similar situations and adventuring, she tries to make a place for herself in this new world. Only to find out that reality is far crueler than one would imagine. Even with what one would call an OP unique skill and other OP advantages, she finds things quickly fall apart regardless how hard she tries. Thus she seeks more and more power to not only survive, but to protect what is important to her. Unbeknownst to her though, lies within her an ancient power time primordial. A power so vast it can bring anything to its knees. This ancient power can easily be unlocked with just one sentence, but this sentence shall never be spoken. Instead, Shiro will embark on a new path to gaining a new different kind of power as she moves forward in this new world. WARNING: The first few volumes will have tragedy, which will disappear at around Volume 5 or 6. From then on it will be just pure OP-ness and having fun. While I personally like OP characters and don’t like tragedies myself, I think it is unrealistic that a person goes to an unknown and everything just magically go their way via plot armor. So I wanted to build up a more realistic OP reincarnation novel where MC struggles through a new world regardless of their advantages due to gaps in knowledge (despite how prepared she was) and simply not having enough strength at the time. ------------------------------------------- This is my first poor attempt at a story. I read a lot of novels overall and was in the mood to see how well I can write one. Expect a lot of mistakes here and there as I am pretty new to writing. Releases should be about 2 times a week(changed due to chapter size pretty much doubling) unless stated otherwise or inbetween volumes. I will at least commit to finishing the volume I am on (Nothing worse than a story being cut off mid story). So give me your comments what you think. I don't mind if the comments are bad and etc. Just lay off the grammar nazi (My only weakness)
