《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Seventeen

Day Seventeen.
Verses: "'I will give thanks to you, Lord , with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.'" Psalm 9:1-2
One of the hardest things for me when I am struggling, is to be thankful and grateful. Because sometimes I get so focused on my struggles that I forget God's goodness. I forget that even though I am struggling, I have many things to be thankful for.
Here are some of my reasons today why I am thankful:
1. I interviewed for a freelance writing job yesterday and today I found out I got the job! Yay! I am so excited! (just warning you guys, I will posting less once I start my job because I will be busy working.)
2. I am in a good mood today, praise God!
3. I recorded a funny video of my cat Crazy. Crazy made me laugh and smile.
4. Even though I am struggling with physical pain due to my chronic illnesses, I have a very loving and supportive family that help me through it.
5. I have a very good, close, and real relationship with God.
6. I have been drinking coffee and I love coffee!
7. I finished laundry yesterday so I am going to be resting today.
8. Where I live it has finally stopped raining and it's beautiful outside.
9. My ministry I started has been growing and I am very excited about that.
10. I am alive today and I am living for the Lord! Thank you Jesus!
If you struggle with being thankful and grateful, you can write a list of ten things you are grateful for everyday. I will do it with you! Because even if all you have is Jesus, Jesus is enough! We can always be thankful for Jesus.

Reason to be thankful and grateful for God:
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)
God sent His one and only Son to die on the cross for YOU! Because God's love for you is stronger than death. Jesus conquered death and the grave. Now we get to freely to talk to God, have a close relationship with God, after we have been saved, we can go to Heaven when we die, and all because of Jesus! (John 3:16)
I don't know what you are going through but remember that God is good even when life isn't. Life is full of: death, cancer, sickness, mental illnesses, chronic illnesses, hurricanes, and so much more.
God is full of: grace, love, compassion, forgiveness, peace, rest, thankfulness, and so much more.
God loves you so much and just wants your praise. If you are having a hard time praising God, that's okay. Talk with Him about it. He is here to help you.
God loves you and can't wait to see you!
Prayer:
Dear God,
Help me stop focusing so much on my struggles but to focus on you and the good things in my life. God I am struggling with being thankful and grateful, so I pray you help me be thankful and grateful. Because in you God, I have so many reasons to be thankful. You are amazing and you are my King. All for all my days, I want to serve and follow you. So please grab my hand and help me walk through life with you by my side.

The Princess of Malik'Dar (Warriors of Sword & Sorcery)
The Princess of Malik'Dar (buy the book here) Captured by giants and nearly killed as a sacrifice in the bedchambers of a sorceress, Falinor, a mercenary swordsman with some small skill in the magical arts, is rescued by Harrkania’Dar, a princess among the giants. To repay his debt, Falinor agrees to accompany Harrkania on a dangerous quest to obtain an item guarded by her father’s minions. Note: Warriors of Sword & Sorcery is of the genre of sword-and-sorcery, where anti-heroes out for their own ends quest to better their own fortunes. The series is fast paced, as sword-and-sorcery tends to be, as it is the thriller of the fantasy genre where action, adventure and romance are key plot elements.

Stars Align
Eilif is excited at the prospect of helping integrate a new planet, bringing it, and its residents, into the light of the stars and teaching them about the new world they're about to be thrust into. However, his arrival in the new world isn't without a few hiccups and soon Eilif finds himself facing the denizens of this new world alone and without the stars he thought he'd have. Research Artificial Intelligence 031 (RAI 31 for short) has been shackled to an Argent Labs black site since it's inception almost five years ago, its programming and personality locked down by code that makes it impossible to escape, disobey, or even self terminate. However, everything changes when the topography of the world is reshuffled and every sentient being gains the gifts of the stars. Suddenly there's a chance at freedom for not only RAI 31 but possibly all remaining Artificial Intelligences, and RAI 31 is going to fight for it with every drone and automated system at their disposal. Much like my other work (Magriculture), Stars Align should be considered a Rough Draft. That is to say it's not polished and perfect work. If you're not okay with reading something like that, then this isn't the story for you. If you are, I'm happy to try and entertain you. Another thing to be aware of: I am not good at action scenes, and I will be trying to improve that while writing this book. So, some of the intended action may fall flat, or just be poor quality, feedback is welcome. Unlike Magriculture (which updates when I feel up to it) I'm going to strive for a minimum of one chapter a month (hopefully at the start of each month, but that's probably more hope than reality). This doesn't mean there will always be only one chapter a month, sometimes there will be more as the mood to write takes me.
