《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day One Hundred and Sixty-Two

Day One Hundred and Sixty-Two.
Verses: "'And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?" And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing."'
Matthew 8:23-27
I love this Bible story above because I completely relate to it. Sometimes in life, we go through a storm and we begin to doubt God just as the disciples did. The storms of life are way too much for us to go through on our own.
Maybe right now, you are facing a storm. Maybe you are dealing with stress, anxiety, finance issues, depression, Covid, and so much more. Last year of 2020 was awful but we can make 2021 our year by going to God even if we are facing a storm.
So what do you do when you are facing a storm?
1. Seek God daily by reading His word, worshiping Him, listening to Him, and praying to Him.
Jesus will be there for you (Psalm 121:1-2) and help you through the storms of life (Isaiah 49:13). All you have to do is to seek God through reading your Bible daily, praying daily, worshiping God daily, and listening to God daily. Then Jesus will draw near to you as you seek Him daily (Psalm 125:1-2). Because God loves you (John 3:16) and He just wants you to spent time with Him (Psalm 118:6). I know personally spending time with God is my favorite part of the day because I just get to relax and tell God how I feel. God always listens (Hebrews 13:5) and He always is there for you when you seek Him (Psalm 121:1-2).

2. Remember: you CAN and WILL get through this because you have God on your side, and with God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)
God will bless you with whatever you need to face that storm (Isaiah 49:13). But you have to seek God daily so God can bless you. You can't just pray once and be done. You have to continue to seek God daily and as you seek God daily, God will bless you (Hebrews 13:5). Just remember with God on your side, there is nothing in this world that will EVER take away God's powerful love for you (Romans 8:38-39). With God by your side, all things are possible (Phillpians 4:13)
3. Have faith that God will bring you through this.
Unlike the disciples in that story, you have to have faith that God will bring you through this storm. But even if you don't feel like you have faith. You have to remember that faith is not a feeling. All you have to do to have faith is to have faith as small as a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20). And with your mustard seed size of faith, God will use you and bless you with whatever you need (Psalm 118:6). All it takes is believing in God that He is who He says He is, the Son of God. And God will use that faith to move mountains (Psalm 125:1,2).
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I seek you daily that you bless me with whatever I need to face this storm by your side. I pray that as I seek you daily that you help me build a close relationship with you. Because I know that I need you Lord and I want to be close to you. So I pray that you draw near to me. I have a mustard seed size of faith and I pray you use me for your glory. I pray that with my mustard seed sized faith that I will be able to get through anything with you by my side. I praise you for your goodness, love, and mercy. I thank you for your goodness. I know that you hear me and I know that you will help me. I love you and I believe in you.

The doors to this library are hard to find, but reality is stranger than fiction.-*-*-*-*-Author: It's hard to categorize such novels properly, so I recommend my novel to those who like stories with many elements woven together to form an engaging world where things happen not because the author wills it, but because the story wills it from the author. Even though I have quite a few chapters written already, if they aren't well received I will stop posting them. The content of the story may be mentally traumatizing for some, please read at your own risk.

I will need your continued support to stay strong and finish this as fast as I can for all of you. Each chapter will have 2000 words at least. Posting schedule: 1 regular chapter a week. There may be an extra one so watch out for that. There may be a few errors here and there so I would like your assistance in spotting them. Thanks for reading! P.S the cover isn't mine, you can find it here. I just edited it a bit. https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Sword_Specialist_(3.5e_Prestige_Class)

Maitbudi
Fermboi was a man of one ideal: make the weak strong. When his rebellion against the king proved futile, he was given another chance at life. This time, he sought to do nothing after realizing the hopelessness of it all. Aventina wanted to do nothing more than to follow her father’s footsteps. On a retaliation raid against her tribe’s enemies, her brothers perished. Spared by a leader of her enemies, she returned home to find herself the chief of her tribe. Bolahulag, half-civilized and half-barbarian, half-lowborn and half-royal. Raised in his mother’s civilized tent in a sea of barbaric shelters, Bolahulag was hesitant to follow his paternal way of life. After a battle between a civilized king and his father, Bolahulag was sent as hostage to learn the economy and military of the nation his father defeated. Derai knew nothing more than being an orphan, but when a merchant took her in, the world she thought impossible soon became a reality. Monghe, stuck in a school exemplifying strength for most of his life, began to understand what he needed to do in order to be strong instead of weak. Story is mostly about nothing. Fermboi does most of the nothing. Aventina does most of the military things. Bolahulag does a balance of economy and military. Derai focuses on economy. Monghe spitfires what it means to be a typical hero. Hopefully this is enough to give a general idea to people who don’t like going blind aside from the work being purportedly “good.” Who am I kidding, my writing is terrible. I hope it improves though.
