《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!

What kind of changes can these people bring to the world where magical and supernatural forces exist? What will be the future of each of them in this mysterious story? Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.

Rejected At First Sight
"Oomph!" The sound rushed out of my mouth as the door opened before I could reach the handle and my body hit a wall. I took a step back and realized that it wasn't in fact a wall, but instead a very attractive male. I looked up at his head to see a very messy, but sexy, mop of black hair on top of his head. When I looked closer, I noticed that his hair was a very deep brown that was probably often mistaken for black. My gaze traveled downward to his eyes, where I found two deep, ocean blue eyes looking back at me. My gaze travelled farther down to his crooked nose, to which I assumed came from too many fights. My eyes finally found his pink, very plump lips, which were turned into a sneer. "You have got to be kidding me!" His pink lips said in a very offensive voice. My eyes turned questioning as I looked back up into his eyes. "Whatever, lets finish this. I, Ashton Carter, reject you, as my mate." He, or Ashton, said with venom lacing his voice. He quickly turned and walked down the now vacant hallway with no glance back. Rejection? On my first day? The first person I make eye contact with at this school, rejects me. I guess that's how this school works, if the hottest boy in school rejects you, you're a nobody. So much for making friends, or mates, or whatever they call people at this school. I shake those ocean blue eyes out of my head and continue into the office to start my new life.
