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

Day One Hundred and Seventy-Three.
Verse: "'Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.'"
Romans 12:12
Maybe right now, you are really struggling. Maybe you are battling a mental illness, chronic illness, stress at work, stress at school, cancer, or maybe you lost a loved one. No matter the storm or trial you are facing, you can and will get through it with God by your side (Matthew 19:26).
What do you do when you are facing storms?
1. Seek God daily by: reading The Bible, praying to God, and worshiping Him.
If you are facing any storm or trial, the best thing you could ever do would be to seek God daily. Why should you seek God daily? Because if you seek God daily then everyday you will be reading the word of God and by reading the word, you will learn more about God and grow closer to Him. Because as you seek God daily, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2). The best relationship you can ever have is one with God. So by seeking Him, you will be building a close relationship with God and God will be on your side (Psalm 118:6). And with God on your side, you can do anything (Matthew 19:26).
2. Praise God daily!
How do you praise God? You can praise Him in many ways but my favorite is to write down in a notebook all the things I am grateful for. Then I praise God by praying to Him and thanking Him for everything I wrote in my journal. It's called a gratitude journal and if you write in it daily, you will be able to see all the amazing things that God has blessed you with. It will open your eyes to see not just your storm but to see God's goodness, grace, and how God is helping you through this storm (Psalm 121:1-2).

3. Be patient and know that this storm will not last forever.
This step is probably the hardest one because you have to trust God that when God says that storms won't last forever, you have to believe that and believe in Him. So why should you trust God? Because 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. (Isaiah 49:13) God is good. (Psalm 31:19) God will draw near to you. (Psalm 125:1-2) You can do all things through Christ. (Phillpians 4:13) With God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26).
How do you trust God?
You trust God by surrendering everything to Him. You surrender to God your health, your family, your worries, your anxieties, your job, your school, and you do this by praying: "God, today I am surrendering to you everything. I declare that I am putting my faith, hope, and trust in you because you are good. I love you and I believe in you that this storm won't last forever."
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I seek you through reading your word, worshiping you, praying to you, praising you, trusting you, and surrendering everything to you that you bless me with everything I need to make it through this storm. I pray that as I seek you that I grow closer to you and learn more about you. I want to be close to you God so I pray you come into my heart and help me with this storm. I thank you for your goodness, grace, mercy, and love. I praise you for you are so good to me.

Prey No More
Imagine being given a second chance at life. Not only that but with a life you chose (sort of). This is exactly the situation that our character is in. He was once a Biology Graduate Student involved in a special program in Alaska studying Polar Bears. In an ironic twist of fate his life is ended by exactly that which he was trying to study. Now, in a new world, he refuses to be anything but the top of the food chain. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a story I began writing a year and a half ago and decided to shelf, I'm coming back to it now because I miss writing; however, I have not carved out any time specifically for this and, as of now, it will be something I do on the side for fun. Currently I have 9 chapters plus a prologue written; I'm going to be going through and editting it to be in a present tense (from past), as well as changing some of the story and grammar. Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading.

Lure O' War (The Old Realms)
Lure O' War starts where Touch O' Luck ends. It is a direct sequel and follows the story of Glen, the thief from Shroudcoast, now impersonating the grandson of the elderly Lord of Altarin and his colorfull companions. It tells of Lord Storm Nattas struggles, as he tries desperately to prevent the realm from falling into the pits of war, or failing that, make certain he escapes it unscathed. It will sing of gallant Sir Lucius Alden, 'Bloody tiger of the South' and his journey to the distant lands of Fetya, and the faraway 'true' North. A journey of hardships, danger, a desperate search for redemption and the road back to his beloved Regia. It will whisper of a Princess woes and triumphs, in the exotic continent of Eplas. It will speak of a 'demi-goddess' wanting what was promised and Dar Eherdir, the father of all assassins. [Royal Writathon April 2022 winner] [Royal Writathon October 2021 winner] The Old Realms series: Touch O' Luck (Finished) Hint O' Magic (Finished) Lure O' War (Finished) Wings O' Fate (Ongoing) There will be updates every 3 days. 3 chapters per week. or 2 chapters minimum at Fridays and Saturdays/Sundays 12:00 UK time + 1 chapter on Wednesday I) Chapter releases come twice a week, on weekends (Friday-Sunday). An extra chapter drop on Wednesdays/Thursday. I post around 10am normally, but for the summer when it may be a couple of hours later. So 3 chapters per week unless its a multi-part chapter II) multi-part chapters come usually within 48 hours for continuity (and because they are written as one chapter for the novel's original form), without being limited from the above schedule. Cover artwork by @IntheBlackveil Maps of the Old Realms are available here Greater Map of the Realms this is a very large image (thrice reduced in size from original, but still it might not load immediately) The Old Realms - Chapter specific maps The Old Realms All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure. The Old Realms saga is only published on RR for free. It is in the author's plans to publish it on Amazon and other platforms at some point. If you see it offered anywhere else, or someone tries to charge you for it, please report him. It is illegal to sell, or take advantage of intellectual work without the author's permission.
