《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Six

Day Six.
Verses: " 'I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God , who made heaven, and earth, and mountains. He won't let you stumble, your Guardian God won't fall asleep. Not on your life! Israel's Guardian will never doze or sleep. God 's your Guardian, right at your side to protect you— Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke. God guards you from every evil, he guards your very life. He guards you when you leave and when you return, he guards you now, he guards you always.'" Psalm 121:1-8
For the past eight years, I have struggled. I have struggled with mental illnesses and chronic illnesses. It's been tough, to say the least. But I have made it! Not because of what I have done but because of God's strength and goodness. God has been carrying me every step of the way. I couldn't have done it without Him. Now I am facing new battles, but I know that God will help me, every step of the way.
I don't know what your past eight years have been like or what your life has been like, but I do know that with God's strength: you can win any battle and overcome anything!
How do you get God's strength?
Pray to Him and ask for strength.
Then, you have to do some work. You need to start building a good relationship with God by reading your Bible everyday and praying everyday. God will give you His strength as you begin to build a relationship with Him.
It has honestly taken me years to build the good relationship I have with God. Mostly because I get mad at God a lot (I struggle with anger). But I have a good relationship with God, because of God and His goodness. Not because of me and what I have done, all because of God! I give God all the Glory!

Humble yourself before God, that's the first step to building your good relationship with Him. Then you have some work to do but it's totally worth it. Having a good and close relationship with God changes everything.
You can talk to Him about anything and everything. He is a great listener. You can hold His hand as you walk through life with Him with your side. You can have everything you could ever want or need in God. He will help you, love you, comfort you, encourage you, forgive you, guide you, and be there for you.
So what are you waiting for? Go run into God's arms today! He can't wait to see you!
Prayer:
Dear God,
As I pray and read my Bible, I pray I build a close and good relationship with you. I pray that I become closer to you everyday. I pray you grab my hand and walk through life with you by my side. Because with you on my side Lord, I know I can do anything! I pray you give me everything I could ever need and want in you.
I thank you for Your Son and all my many blessings.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Fat Boy Hero
Rueben Burger is a high school student and he is severely obese. He also suffers from a penchant for doing the right thing even if it means placing himself in a difficult or compromising position. Which is how Rueben finds himself in an apartment that is larger on the inside than it should be, about to be fired at by a weapon he has never seen the likes of in a building that is on fire. Super powers! The result of his sojourn in the burning building. Now Rueben has a few decisions to make. Does he become the hero he has always dreamed of being, or does he stay out of the fight to keep his Grandmother safe? Does Rueben give up his power to be the skinny kid he has desperately longed to be? Find out this and much more in the first book of the Fat Boy Hero Series. -History of FBH- Fat Boy Hero is a story long in the making. The idea came from my love of hero stories, but the lack of relatable heroes. By that i mean there were no, or few heroes that dealt with weight gain. Something I have and am dealing with after leaving the Marine Corps. So Fat Boy Hero was born. Check out the link below to listen to an episode of The Round Table Podcast where I brainstormed the idea with the hosts and special guest Michael underwood. http://www.roundtablepodcast.com/2013/03/workshop-episode-53-guest-host-michael-r-underwood/ This book is a side project and will be updated as time permits. I hope you do not find this too off-putting.

His father King Bohemond and his mother Queen Renata were killed by the usurper Rancine, who is the current ruler of his home in the Middle Islands. Beaumont left the Middle Islands as a baby and everything he knows of his home is from stories and books. All that changes when a stranger from the Middle Islands, a woman named Nasila, arrives to inform him that Rancince has learned of his location and he is no longer safe. In order to protect the home he has grown to love, Beau must travel out of Hattan and journey to the Middle Islands to seek safety among people loyal to his father that he has never met. He must put his trust in Nasila and a hired warrior named Gavin with questionable motivations. He is afraid and unprepared to take the crown, but at least his cousin Julius is with on this harrowing journey fraught with assassins, wild mythical beast, black magic, and demons. His cousin is the only person he can truly trust, but he must take a chance and put his life in the hands of others if he plans to survive. ***This is the first long-length writing I have ever undertaken, and I wish to get some critical feedback. I am not professionally trained as a writer but I have tried my best to teach myself and make the chapters as clean as possible. I believe I have reached a point where my limited skills cannot improve the work or make any more corrections. It is very difficult to show this work, but if I do not, I fear I will never improve and learn. So here it is. To anyone who lends the time to read all of this and any of my chapters. Thank you.
