Day Twenty-Two.
Verse: "'Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.'" 1 Peter 5:7
I know I am very stressed right now. Today I went to the ER because my eye has a stye in it and my eye is almost swollen shut. I didn't see myself getting a stye, don't you love it when life throws you curveballs like getting an eye stye? So hopefully this medicine for my eye will help. My Mom has her brain surgery next week. I am so anxious about her surgery. I am still struggling with physical pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis. I am seeing a new doctor for my physical pain and I am nervous about that. I just feel so overwhelmed. Honestly I am doing a horrible job on "casting my cares on God."
If you feeling stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed like me. As humans our natural reaction to stress is try to "figure it out on our own." When really, that is a horrible idea.
Yesterday I tried to pop my stye (horrible idea, I just made my eye hurt worse. Sorry if that was tmi.) We can learn from my horrible idea to fix my eye myself. Instead of trying to do things on our own, we need to reach out to God, our family, our friends, and in my case, go to the doctor.
When we are struggling, God doesn't want us to run away from Him. He wants us to run to Him! Because He loves us and He will help us through whatever we are going through. We don't have to go through life on our own. God wants us to come to Him! He is waiting for us. He will rejoice in you coming home to Him! He will grab your hand and carry you through the storms you are facing.

I know right now more than ever, I have to put my faith, hope, trust, and cast all my cares to God. Because I know I can't handle these circumstances without God. I need God. I know that He loves me and can't wait to help me.
God loves you and can't wait to help you to. All you have to do is go to God in prayer, and surrender everything to Him. God will take control. God will guide you and help you through this storm.
You also don't have to pretend you are okay in front of God. If you are mad at God, tell God that. God is big enough to handle your anger. If you are depressed, tell God that to. He can help you through depression. God can give you His hope to hold on to as you face this storm.
Instead of trying to do things on your own, let God take control. Instead of running from God because you are struggling, run to God. Let this storm draw you closer to God. God is here for you and He loves you very much.
Prayer:
Dear God,
Right now I am really struggling. I am surrendering everything to you. I know I can't do life on my own. I need you Lord. I am casting everything to you: my fears, my worries, my anxiety, depression, pain, and just surrendering everything to you Lord. Please come grab my hand and become closer to me than ever before Lord. I believe in you Lord. I know you are so good and you love me so much. I pray that this storm I am facing, let it bring me closer to you Lord.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.

Demonic Requiem | The Epitome of Evil
He feared none but himself. As a human, Elias walked a cruel path which only got more vicious as he became a demon. Born as the son of the most powerful man in the continent, but lived a life no worse than a slave. His only friend being solitude. The further he endured, the further he began to lose his humanity. Even a point came when he lost all rationality and lived as a senseless demon. But no matter the obstacle. He endured. He learned. He survived. He evolved. As the rumors of his endeavors spread, many dreaded him, many worshipped him and many bowed before him.Nonetheless, Elias continued to walk on his path. The path of a demon. As time passed, Elias terrorized the world with his evil and devious means. People deemed him as a threat who could no longer be ignored. Many empires united. They allied, and an all-out war started. But, be it the cruelty of fate or their foolishness, the alliance lost. Elias stood as the lone survivor, but alas, he lost his life from an unforeseen cause. But for better or worse, his story still seems to have not ended. Elias gets reborn back when he was young, and the path he walked once, he will walk again, but this time the one who suffers will not be him. What to expect: This story is based on the concept of "What if a villain, gets a second chance?". Hence it contains a lot of torture, torment, and inhumanity. Revenge or such feelings do not drive Elias, so it's not a revenge story. There won't be any rape scenes or incest. It's also not a story like that. But expect some cruelty and torture along the way. Also, it's a slow-paced novel. In short: A lunatic who terrorized the world with devious power and cruel means gets reborn, this time becoming even more powerful and ruthless. Link for the Cover Art:
