《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day One Hundred and Thirty-Eight

Day One Hundred and Thirty-Eight.
Verses: 'Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.'
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
I love this verse below because it was written by Paul. Paul is one of my favorite people in the Bible (Besides Jesus) because Paul struggled with true suffering but he also wrote about joy during suffering. Paul had a thorn in his side, he was put in prison, but he also wrote about how that even when we are suffering we can have joy because we have Christ. And that this world is broken but if we look to God, we can find everything we need. Because though we live in this world, this world is not our home. Our home is in Heaven with Jesus.
In this world, we will have trouble, trials, pain, sorrow, and suffering. But in John 16:31-33 Jesus tells us to have hope because He has overcome the world. In the verses above Paul is telling us that yes we will struggle, but we can go to Jesus and find strength. We can run into God's arms and He will be there to help us and be there for us (Psalm 121:1-2)
Paul also wants to remind us that the earth is not our home. Our home is in Heaven with Jesus! So we need to fix our eyes on Jesus and remember that yes we are struggling but God has an amazing plan for us (Jeremiah 29:11). Yes we may suffer on this earth but in Heaven there will be no more suffering (Psalm 97:6). Yes we may suffer but we can have victory in Jesus (Matthew 19:26). Because with God on our side, we can do anything (Philippians 4:13).

So seek God through worship, prayer, reading His word, and listening for Him. He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2). He will bless you with everything you need to fight the battle you are facing and win (Isaiah 49:13)! Then as we seek Him daily we can fix our eyes on Jesus.
I believe in you. God believes in you (Hebrews 13:5). You can and will get through this (Phillpians 4:13). I love you. God loves you so much more (John 3:16).
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I seek you that I grow close to you. God I pray that you bless me with everything I need to get through the storm I am facing. I can't get through this without you Father. I ask that you can into my heart and help me. I pray that everyday you are here by my side. I pray that you be all those who are working doing covid-19. I pray you bless everyone who is working and heal everyone who is sick. Even though that covid-19 is scary, I know that with you by my side. I can do anything. I praise you for your goodness, mercy, and never ending love. I praise you because you are a good Father. I love you Lord!
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

The New World
An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated earth into its system. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills. This AI turned these concepts from fiction to fact. It's easy to become intoxicated with leveling up and becoming stronger. To some, it's too good to be true like living out a dream. For Daniel, however, it's closer to a nightmare. He's in a bit of a predicament. Cracks in our dimensional fabric have unleashed terrifying beasts from dark, abyssal places. Schema organizes these cracks into dungeons, giving the native species of the planet a chance to fight back. Daniel finds himself trapped in one of these dungeons. Not long after, he discovers there's only one way out. Kill or be killed. (Note: I am currently editing the story and I'm uploading those edits. It will take time to do this, so if you find a huge shift in the story's formatting, that's why. I'm steadily hammering away at it, but it's going to take time. Thanks for your understanding, if you're offering it.) This is a lit-RPG inspired by the Fallout series of games and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. Schedule: 2-3 releases a week of around 3,000 words. I have other fictions! *They're of questionable quality* Here's Monsters Dwell in Men If you want to support me and maybe see other content, check out my patreon: Patreon Here's my Youtube Channel as well, Monsoon117

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
