Day One Hundred and Thirty-Six.
Verses: "'Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.'"
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Right now, you may be feeling very overwhelmed and stressed. With Covid-19 still going strong and everyone is on lockdown, it can feel like everything is out of our control. It's easy right now to feel stressed, depressed, or/and overwhelmed. But just now that God is here for you (Psalm 121:1-2), He loves you (John 3:16), and He wants to comfort you (Isaiah 49:13).
When we are struggling, we usually do one of two things. One, we run away from God, Or two, we run to God. Right now, I encourage you to run to God by seeking Him through reading His word, worshiping Him, listening to Him, and talking to Him. As you talk to Him, pour out your heart to Him. Tell Him EVERYTHING, you are thinking and feeling. He will be there to listen to you (Hebrews 13:5), help you (Psalm 121:1-2), and comfort you (Isaiah 49:13).
As you seek Him, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2). He will bless you with His joy, peace, hope, comfort, love, grace, forgiveness, mercy, rest, and so much more. You will be able to build a close relationship with Him as you continue to seek Him daily.
God wants to help you with whatever you are going through (Psalm 121:1-2). God knows what you are going through and He just wants you to come to Him by seeking Him. God wants to be there for you (Psalm 121:1-2). But you have to come to Him by seeking Him. Just know that as you seek Him, you will be able to face anything you are going through. Because with God by your side, you can do all things (Philippians 4:13)!

Prayer:
Dear God,
Right now, I am really struggling. But instead of running away from you, I am running to you. I pray that as I seek you I build a close relationship with you. I pray that as I seek you, you bless me with whatever I need to face this storm I am facing. Because with you on my side Lord, I know I can do things. I pray you are with everyone in the world that is hurting and is sick. I pray you heal those suffering from Covid-19. I pray you are with those who are working right now, I pray you bless them and keep them well. I praise you all your goodness, love, and never ending mercy. I praise you because you are so good to me Lord. You are good Lord even when life isn't.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
