Good Morning, my friends. It’s Holy Tuesday! I pray you have a positive day filled with happy moments, kindness and love. It’s also our last Tuesday of March. We are about to enter April and we are blessed to see another month.
Monday through Wednesday of Holy Week are the days less talked about, but what happens on each of those days is all part of God’s plan for His Son, Jesus, to ultimately be crucified and resurrected.
I pray you are able to be where you want to be during this Holy Week. If you want to stay home or if you want go to a Church, or some other facility I hope you are able to go.
God is with you, no matter where you are. Last year’s Holy Week was very different. I pray you are able to be with your family and friends and attend whatever services your heart needs to be part of.
No matter where we are, we can praise God and thank Him for sending His son to us to live, to die and to be resurrected.
Sometimes, during Holy Week, I find myself just thinking about Christ’s journey and I find myself crying. Every minute, every second that Jesus spent, from his ride on a donkey into Jerusalem until His resurrection was part of God’s plan.
And Jesus knew it. He knew he was working God’s plan and preparing to die for us. No greater love will ever be known.
Many people are still without employment and a lot of schools are still not open. And many people are feeling overwhelmed, scared and hopeless.
And times like these attack our faith. We start to question God, we worry, we have anxiety and, yes, we start to doubt God and His plan.
But on Tuesday before Jesus was crucified and resurrected, Jesus told His Disciples to have faith and pray. And He said that if they would believe, they would receive whatever they asked for in prayer. ~Matthew 21:21-22.
With this hug, I am sending you encouragement to keep the faith. No matter what, don’t give up, keep praying and keep believing. I wanted to pray s short, simple prayer to increase our faith.
Dear God, Please bless our Holy Tuesday. We thank You for sending Your Son to live, die and be resurrected. We don’t know where we’d be without Jesus.
Lord, we know You are here with us and we know You are in control. We pray for increased faith. Remove our doubts, our worries and our anxieties and help us to place all our trust in You.
Give us a peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
As you go through your Holy Tuesday today, remember this big, caring hug. Holy Tuesday Hugs!
Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!

This post has a wonderful prayer that fits into the theme I had created for our Freshman class. And it is very relevant for the Easter celebration. The prayer is so inspirational.
