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.

I, Mor-eldal: The Necromancer Thief
As a budding little necromancer, I soon discovered that the world of city people is complicated. When my master kicked me out of the cave, he warned me not to talk about my “dark” magic, because people here don't like the undead. I am not really an undead, I just have a skeleton hand, but it is better to be careful. Anyway, that's not my biggest worry. In the Black Dagger brotherhood, I learn a lot of things, such as illusionist magic, which turns out to be quite handy to survive in this maze of streets: in the Cat Quarter, we have thugs of all kinds that are best avoided. But we also have good people, goodhearted “gwaks”, as we say around here. Little did I know that I would soon be caught up in an infamous traffic that would entangle my life even more. With a mix of lighthearted adventure and picaresque, this story narrates the hectic life of a good-spirited street child and his companions in a medieval urban fantasy setting with some nineteenth-century influences. Updates Mondays and Fridays. This is a Creative Commons By work. It is a translation of a trilogy I wrote in Spanish between 2017 and 2018.
