《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day One Hundred and Fifty-One

Day One Hundred and Fifty-One.
Verse: "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." Philippians 4:6
Maybe right now, you are struggling with fear, worry, or anxiety. Maybe school starting back has really stressed you out. Maybe you have loved one who is sick and you are worried about them. Maybe you are really struggling with mental illness, chronic illness, or cancer. Whatever is going on, I am here to tell you: God is here for you! He is here to calm your worries, fears, and anxiety. He is here to give you peace, rest, and freedom (Isaiah 49:13) .
I don't know what you are going through but I do know that God is here to help you (Psalm 121:1-2). He wants to grab your hand and help you through what you are going through (Psalm 121:1-2). God never wanted us to do life on our own. He wants to be there for you and be close to you (Psalm 136:1).
All you have to do is come home to Him. Give Him all your worries, fears, doubts, anxieties, pain, and hurt. He will give you rest, peace, grace, love, guidance, help, comfort, encouragement, and freedom. Just surrender anything to God and He will give you all you could ever need (Psalm 33:4). How you come home to Him is by seeking Him through reading His word, worshiping Him, listening to Him, and praying to Him. As you continue to seek Him, daily, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2). You will be able to build a close relationship with Him which is all He ever wants because He loves you (John 3:16).

Dealing with stress, worry, fear, or anxiety is tough. But you have God who is tougher! Even death couldn't stop God's love for you (John 3:16). Jesus defeated death and now we can live in freedom (John 3:16). Now we can have a close relationship with God.
So what are you waiting for? Run into God's arms today!
Prayer:
Dear God,
Hey God, I am really struggling with fear with this new school year starting tomorrow. Lord I pray that you help me with my fear, worry, and anxiety. I pray that you grab my hand and help me this new school year. Help me keep my eyes focused always on you even when I am stressed. Help me grow closer to you this school year. I pray you bless me with everything I need to make it through each and every day. I praise you for your love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness. You are so good to me and I praise you! I thank you for listening to me because I know you hear me and will help me.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.

The Tale of A Fortunate Slave
In the world of Valeria, The capital of The Kingdom of Albert is besieged and yet our story dose not begin in a stronghold or castle. Our protagonist is not strong or powerful, quite the opposite in fact, she is a ex-slave. An ex-slave that got "lucky" in a way that some fear and despise while others enjoy and like her. This is the story of the quite Ash the slave turned personal servant of the daemon princess Lucy Darkheart. This is very much a work in progress so please understand if there's any mistakes or errors. Not only that but I am a novice so that kind of thing is to be expected. Thank you! Edit: Updates are whenever I make one or two new chapters so expect them to be as inconstant as a dragons fire breath. *Tags and Genres may be added as the story progresses. I have a Twitter now cause it would not stop bugging me when I wanted to look at news for a game, the link is here, https://twitter.com/JustAPhoenix2 . I don't know if it works or not on the edit screen, but you can copy/paste it anyway. I may do stuff there like give insight to some of the more trivial parts of the characters lives. (That refers to ALL character, not just Ash.)
