《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day One Hundred and Fifty-Three

Day One Hundred and Fifty-Three.
'But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. '
Hebrews 11:6
How to have strong faith.
Maybe right now, you are really struggling. Maybe you are dealing with a mental illness, chronic illness, cancer, stress at school and/or work, or you lost a loved one. Maybe your faith isn't strong and you haven't been close with God in a while. No matter what you are going through, you can always run to God and have strong faith in God.
So how do you have strong faith in God? Here are my tips and tricks.
1. Seek God everyday!
How do you seek God? You seek God by: reading your Bible, praying to God, listening to Him, and worshiping Him. You seek God, everyday! Which is really hard, I can totally relate. I have just started back college but no matter how busy you are, you always need to find time to spend time with God. Because time spent with God is never wasted. When you seek God everyday, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2). God draws near you, you will be able to build a close relationship with God. A close relationship with God is the best relationship you will ever have.
2. All it takes to have strong faith is to have faith the size of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20).
A mustard seed is smaller than a piece of rice. So it's really small. Jesus says in Matthew 17:20: "He answered, "Because of your little faith [your lack of trust and confidence in the power of God]; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have [living] faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and [if it is God's will] it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." All you have to do to have strong faith is to have a mustard seed size of faith. You just have to believe that Jesus died on the cross for you and rose three days later (John 3:16). You just have to believe that neither life nor death nor angel nor demons nor anything in this world can separate you from God's love (Romans 8:38-39).

3. Remember God's promises:
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) You can do all things through Christ. (Phillpians 4:13) With God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26) God has an amazing plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11) God is for you and on your side. (Psalm 118:6) God is all around you. (Psalm 125:1,2) God never changes. (Hebrews 13:8)
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I spend time seeking you that I have strong faith in you. Because I know Lord, that all it takes to have strong faith in you is to have faith the size of a mustard seed. So I am giving you my mustard seed sized faith because I believe in you Lord. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me and rose three days later. I believe that nothing in this world can separate me from your love for me. So I pray that you grab my hand and help me walk through life with you on my side. I pray that I build a close and strong relationship with you. I pray that you bless me with everything I need to make it through each and everyday. I pray that you always be right beside me and never leave me. I thank you for your goodness, love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness. I praise you because you are so good to me.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Myth of The World's Trees
And Simon answered their call with a single statement that nobody understood "Et super mos absit hoc hodie!" "Yah!" "WWWaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" "AAAlllllaaaaallllaaaaallllaaaa!" "EeEEellllleeeeeelllllleeeeeeuuuuuuu!" I, too, yelled a battle cry at the top of my lungs. I had no idea what Simon had just spouted but from Camilla's giggling, I could guess that Simon thought that spouting nonsense was his way of getting out of the earlier predicament. "I forbid death upon this day," Camilla said. "What?" I answered a bit at a loss. "Ancient Latin," she replied smugly, "He said 'I forbid death upon this day'." I laughed aloud "Then he is gonna be really disappointed in everyone here," Camilla did not reply and instead took a deep breath. I did the same, zoning out everything in my surroundings. The environment became a world of electrical pulses traveling across several networks. I perceived the world through my lightning and sped my heartbeat to inhuman levels. I was present now, at this moment, at this point in time. I could feel the electrifying air saturating my lungs, the electrified ground vibrating at the rhythm of the approaching enemy. Then I took a step forward, everyone followed in tandem. Camilla the first, and then the others. Then I took a second step, and this time everyone followed simultaneously. Third step… Fourth step… Fifth step… Then light jogging… Speeding up… Running … Running faster…. Then suddenly, everyone disappeared into motes of light particles that re-constructed itself hundreds of feet above the horde, dozens of miles away from our initial position. We were literally 'diving' into battle.-------------------------------------------------------------------Despite a rough childhood in the slums, Omari had everything a guy could want - a loving girlfriend, an understanding sister, a wonderful teacher, and his dream job. Still, the scars from his childhood made Omari unable to live a dull life. He dreamed of something greater... something beyond the reaches of what humankind could achieve in the current era.Like always, Omari should have been careful what he wished for. In the year 2046, the World was thrown into chaos as the apocalypse came in the form of massive trees that shot up out of the ground one day.These trees towered over the tallest of buildings and had thicknesses that spanned kilometers at a time.They grew everywhere, in homes, businesses, and cities as they formed a complex network that overlayed the old world.The cause of the apocalypse was unknown, but Omari's workplace was believed to be the origin point of the unfortunate events.Fifteen years after the start of the Apocalypse... after all the pain and suffering... after losing everything he cared about, Omari sent his memories back in time to make sure that the future he lives in, never came to be.Will he be able to uncover the mystery of The Trees? Will he be able to protect all those he has lost? Will he succeed, or will his attempt be washed away by the currents of time? Will Omari be able to learn the truth about 'THE MYTH OF THE WORLD'S TREES'?

The number and gray thing irritated me)____________________________________________________________________________This is my first story and as such it WILL more than likely lack in most places. I'm more than willing for all criticism and suggestions for how it will go and names for places, people, and items. Also don't worry this isn't some harem focused story story wise though the MC does try to go for it but not until later. And yes he will notice a harem is forming.
