Christmas Week Hugs-December 20, 2021

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Good Morning and Happy Monday! It’s our third Monday of December 2021 and it is Christmas week! This is our most sacred time of the year and I pray God blesses your week with His every perfect gift from above.

Let’s decide right now that we will stay focused on the real meaning of Christmas and we will share the good news of Jesus Christ’s birth with everyone we meet!

I’m sending Monday hugs your way. We all need a hug to start our Christmas week off with a smile. So, even if you’re not fully awake yet, reach out and grab a hug!

With his hug, I am sending encouragement and I am saying to you, “God loves you, He cares for you and He is going to bless your Monday and your Christmas week”.

I want to pray a simple prayer for your week and send the prayer with your hug. Pray this prayer with me and receive the blessings sent with it.

Dear God, We thank you for this new day, this new week. We are thankful that You woke us up and let us see another new week. This week is very special because it is our Christmas week.

We are so thankful that You sent us Your Son, Jesus Christ. Where would this world be without salvation? You sent Your Son as a baby who became the Savior of the world!

Remove our fears, place Your peace in our hearts and increase our faith in You. We are standing on Your promise that You will never leave or forsake us.

Place a shield of protection around us and keep us safe from all harm. Guide our footsteps away from danger, negativity and drama and may we reflect Your love in everything we do.

This has been a hard year, Lord. We’ve lost loved ones, we’ve lost jobs and many feel hopeless and feel they do not have a future. Let this Christmas Week renew their hope in You.

Protect our families as they move toward Christmas Day. Let our loved ones know, even if we aren’t together, that we are so thankful for them and we love them so much.

Today, Lord, we pray that our faith is stronger than our fear. We pray that our trust in You removes our worries. We pray that our hope in You removes all doubt. We know that where there is faith and hope, miracles happen.

We believe in You, we trust in You and we are going to live each day of this week for Your glory.

Bring us through this week with happiness, good health and love from family and friends. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Today, whenever you need a hug, remember that this one is here for you. And remember that God loves you, cares for you and He will never leave you. Christmas Week Monday Hugs!

Sending you love, blessings and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
