Day One Hundred and Forty-Five.
Verse: "'Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.'"
Psalm 43:5
Lately I have been feeling really down and not so great. But the other day I read my Bible and turned on my favorite Christian worship music. I played Waymarker and man, it hit my soul. I just sang my heart out to God and it felt so good. So right now if you are feeling stressed, down, anxious, or depressed the best thing you can do is turn on your favorite Christian worship music and praise God.
Praising God really takes our eyes off our circumstances and problems. Because when we are praising God, we are focusing on His goodness (Psalm 31:19) and love (John 3:16). We are not thinking about how terrible things are going for us but how amazing God is (Psalm 118:6).
It is impossible to praise God and be mad at Him at the same time. Really praising God puts our focus on God where our focus should be. Because no matter what we are going through, God is always good (Psalm 31:19). Even when life isn't good for us, God is always good to us (Psalm 31:19). God always deserves our praise because while we were still sinners He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross for us because He loved us so much (John 3:16). We are always thank Him for His love and for His Son dying on the cross for us.
So no matter what you are going through today, I encourage you to put down your phone, turn on your favorite Christian worship music, lift your hands, and sing our heart out to God. I promise you, you will feel so much better.

Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I spend time worshiping you that you draw near to me. I pray that as I worship you that you help me fix my eyes on you and not my problems. As I seek you through reading your word, worshiping you, listening for you, and talking to you I pray that I build a close relationship with you. I thank you for your love, mercy, grace, and that I am able to come to you. I thank you for your Son dying for me and everything you have done for me. Because you are so good Lord and I worship you.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Omnipocalypse Monsters(Shelved Timeline)
System Edit: This timeline has been shelved, but the adventures of the Omegas and her kids will continue in the next System Update Timeline with additional foes and challenges early on to guide the Omegas into a less destructive path of protection.The Omnipocalypse was every apocalypse humans ever imagined all happening at once, zombies, plagues, nukes, EMPs, Robot uprisings. Not just the earth either, It happened to every World ever dreamed up by men too: heaven, hell, and every other afterlife or spirit world ended, plus the worlds of books and stories bled into reality. It all broke apart and either; became new places on the chaotic Earth or part of the even messier spirit world. Magic beasts mutated by radiation, Robots mastering Magic, the mixture of everything made the horrors... well, more horrible. Omega; A young Woman with few memories wakes to find she has spent 2500 years in stasis, in a basement of scientific horrors. Creatures and Things that could supposedly destroy the world if ever let free. Horrors of which she was the last to get free. Rather then Quest for world domination or destruction; Omega keeps getting drawn into a protective role over other orphans, lost monsters, and broken AIs. So she decides to build something to help all her little monster family be safe. -------This story is meant to be a behind the scenes look at stories about kids solving problems that should be beyond them. I always wanted to see a story about Professor Oak, Dumbledore, or any other mentor who trains the main characters. I like the idea of someone looking at the apocalyptic world and deciding to make it safe enough that a small child can wander off and make some monster their pet. The pokemon games have fun systems to consider the behind the scenes workings of, like what training a team rocket member goes through to become a villain cut out for children to defeat. how they prevent a deific pokemon from accidentally murdering some little rat with its immense psionic power. However, the story itself is not really meant to be a pokemon parody, I draw inspiration from every genre of fiction, any type of game, this story is the only one I plan of ever writing without a clear cut ending planned, I love the infinite storytelling capacity of things like Doctor who's TARDIS, the Stargate or Rick's portal gun. In this case, I wanted the setting itself to be one where any and every story might happen. Cover Image by kalli gruen from Pixabay Discord Image by Digital Photo and Design DigiPD.com from Pixabay
