Day One Hundred And Sixty-Six
Verses: '"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.'"
James 1:2-4
No one likes facing trials. Maybe right now you are facing a trial. Maybe you are facing stress from work, school, or COVID. Maybe you are battling a mental illness, chronic illness, cancer, COVID, or maybe you lost a loved one. No matter what trial you are facing the best thing you can do when facing any trial is to run to Jesus (Psalm 121:1-2).
When facing trials, people can react in different ways. You can either run away from God or run to God. The best thing you can do is run to God. So how do you run to God? You run to God by seeking Him through reading His word, worshiping Him, praying to Him, and listening to Him. And you need to seek him daily. I know I say this all the time but you ever want a close relationship with God, you have to put in the time by seeking Him. Just like with any relationship the more time you spend with them, the stronger your relationship will be.
So after you continue to seek God daily then comes the hard part, surrendering everything to God. So why should you surrender everything to God? Because if we try to fix our trial by ourselves it will never work. But we surrender our trials to God and trust in Him, then He will give us the strength to face and overcome our trials (Isaiah 49:13).
How do you surrender everything to God? You start by praying: "God I surrender EVERYTHING to you (then you list everything you surrender to God." Then every time you start to worry about your trials you have to stop yourself and say out loud. "NO I am not going to worry or be afraid because I surrender everything to God. So I put my hope and trust in Him." You may have to say that to yourself thousands of times each day. But if you do this, it will work. I know because I have done it and God has blessed me with so much joy. God will bless you with joy if you surrender everything to Him, and choose not to worry (Isaiah 49:13). Because with God on your side, you can do anything (Matthew 19:26)!

So run to Jesus, surrender everything to Him, choose not to worry, and put your trust in Jesus. I promise you if you do this, this will change your life for the better. So what are you waiting for? Run to Jesus!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I seek you daily by reading your word, praying to you, listening to you, and worshiping you that I build a strong and close relationship with you. Lord I choose to surrender everything to you (list everything you are surrendering to God). I choose to put my faith, hope, and trust in you. So Lord, anything I start to worry, please remind me to stop worrying but instead fix my thoughts on you. Lord, I ask you to help me to stop worrying but instead trust in you. I praise you because you are so good to me. I thank you for your love, kindness, grace, mercy, and forgiveness. I praise and thank you for everything you do for me.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

The Ghost's Girl
"I know who I was. I was Aevlin, raised by Callily, wife of Alaric, son of the mad king," she said the words as if they belonged to someone else. Not her name, not her story. "I was a woodcrafter's apprentice, a strict woman's daughter, a selfish girl's sister. But you know that already. And she's dead." the girl's eyes glistened with tears that would not fall. She would not let them. "Does it matter?"The descendants of the last king have lived in hiding since before his death, but through a series of premeditated coincidences, Aevlin Saliz finds herself in her cousin's palace. There she faces the trials of mental labor, the allure of magic, and the stirrings of rebellion, all while doing her best to hide her identity as both royal and mage. But the desire to belong puts her independence to the test when a plot to overthrow the king in her name is uncovered. Aevlin must choose between quiet submission and taking control of her own destiny. [cover photo by Alice Alinari on Unsplash]

Born a fatherless bastard, Nox ZaiWin has always been seen as a pariah by those around him. It doesn’t matter how hard he has tried to make a name for himself, excelling both in combat and military strategy, climbing all the way to his present position as Calzai by sheer hard work and persistence. His only goal? To be left alone so he can govern over his poor, ravaged Province in peace. And so, yeah, the last thing he wanted, was to become some Celestial’s Chosen One. And is that even a Celestial? Hasn’t the brat just murdered more than one-hundred of his men with a single scream? Aren’t Celestials supposed to be holly, pure beings, that abhor all forms of death and killing? No other choice! No matter how sinful it may be, the brat must die. Snow has lived most of his life locked in a dark room, explored and sold for his miraculous blood. There are a lot of things he does not understand about the outside world. But one thing is certain. He does not want to have anything to do with some scary dark monster. He wants to be free! And he’ll do whatever it takes to reach his goal. And yet … Shit! Aren’t they stuck together now? Their life-lines intertwined? Wait! If the dark monster wants him dead, that’s easy enough to solve. All he has to do is to successfully kill him first! ** Updates Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Thank you for reading! ♥ ** WARNING: This is BL novel, including Boy x Boy Romance. If you're not up to sailing such waters happily turn around and search for something else to read. :)
