Day Twenty-Nine.

Verse: "And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."

Romans 5:5 NIV

I have some really exciting news guys: I finally found a doctor to treat my fibromyalgia! After yesterday's horrible doctor's appointment of another doctor not willing to treat me. My Dad's coworker also has fibromyalgia. So my Dad got the name of the doctor his co-worker sees. I called to make sure they treat fibromyalgia and they do! Tomorrow I finally have a doctor's appointment with a doctor who will treat me! After two years of trying doctor after doctor, I finally found a doctor who will help me!

After yesterday, my parents and I could have given up trying to find me a doctor. But my Mom and Dad didn't give up. Neither will I!

I don't know what you are going through. Maybe you are struggling with a mental illness, chronic illness, cancer, or you lost a loved one. Whatever you are going through: you can't give up! God will grab your hand and give you His hope.

I know throughout my fibromyalgia journey, I have struggled with depression. If you are struggling with depression, remember: depression is A LIAR! With God by your side, you CAN and WILL get better! Because with God's hope, strength, and joy inside of you: you can do anything!

Sometimes God doesn't change our circumstances because He is trying to change our heart. God may not cure you from an illness but He will give you the strength to fight it and win. I saw this quote yesterday it said: "Sometimes God will put you in a battle empty handed so that when you do get the victory you will know it wasn't you but it was God."

God CAN and WILL give you everything you need to declare victory. I know that my Dad's coworker having fibromyalgia isn't luck but God. I believe me find this doctor isn't luck but it is God's plan. I believe me writing this book is one of God's purpose for me. I believe me starting a podcast called Chronically Caty to help others with mental illnesses and chronic illnesses isn't luck but it is God's plan for me.

We have to surrender everything to God and know that He will work everything out for us. When we are facing horrible circumstances or illness, we have to go to God to get everything we need: strength, joy, hope, peace, and rest. God will give us everything we need to overcome anything in our lives. God is bigger, stronger, and mightier than anything we could ever face. When we do get the victory, we need to praise God's name! Because God is good even when life isn't!

So hold on to God's hand. Hold on to God's hope and I believe you will make it through whatever you are facing.

Prayer:

Dear God,

God I am struggling. I am fight a battle that I can't win without you. So please come grab my hand and help me through this battle. I pray you give me anything I need like joy, peace, hope, rest, and strength to win this fight. I pray I win this fight because of you and not because of me. God I know I will win because of you and I will always praise your name. Because God you are good even when life isn't.

I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.

In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!
