Thank you everyone who has ever supported me as a writer and storyteller. Your kind words mean more to me than you could ever know and it warms my heart knowing these stories mean something special to you. I can only hope to give back as much as you have given me. All credit goes to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without Him none of this would've been possible and I would not have been so greatly blessed by all of you. Thank you, and God bless.

We've all been through rough times, I am no exception, but my Lord and Savior has always been by my side carrying me when I didn't have the strength to walk another step and has delivered me out of my worst tribulations. Not everything that happens in life is good, far from it, but everything will work towards good for those that put their faith and trust in Him. I have a million reasons why I deserve to go to hell but only one reason that I'm not, Jesus Christ.

Here are some prayers and words of encouragement that have helped me over the years that I hope serve someone in need.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want (for anything). He leads me to green pastures and has me drink". I find this prayer so relaxing, and I slowly repeat it to myself visualizing the Lord carrying me in His arms to where I need to go.

"I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus". A case of mistaken identity can be very dangerous. It can leave you feeling unloved, unwanted, forgotten, guilty, and condemned. When you're feeling the worst about yourself, repeat this prayer. Condemnation kills, that's why you should constantly remind yourself and others that they have not been condemned, but delivered by Jesus Christ. I am righteous because of Jesus Christ, and when the Father looks at me, He sees His beloved Son.

Always remember that you are loved totally and unconditionally. There's no greater feeling in the world. People who feel loved, love back the most.

"As the Lord is in Heaven as I am here on earth" and "By His stripes I am healed". Whether your pain is physical or emotional, internal or external, spiritual or not, always know that your suffering has already been paid for in full. Believe that Christ has already defeated the cause of your suffering, and know that your body and mind are like His now.

From mountains to molehills, nothing is too large or too small an obstacle for Him to overcome. Sometimes we tell ourselves that the Lord only works on "big" problems, but that's not true. That pimple you're upset by is important to Him because He loves your beautiful face, and He doesn't like to see you upset. We are weak without Him, and it is in our weaknesses that His strength is made perfect.

God bless
