Friday Hugs-July 22, 2021

It’s our favorite day, my friends! Good Morning and Happy Friday! It’s our fourth Friday of July 2022 and it is going to be a wonderful, blessed day.

Let’s decide right now that it is going to be great. No matter what happens today, don’t let anyone take you out of God’s peace. And take that peace into the weekend with you.

I’m sending Friday hugs your way. I hope you are able to reach out and grab one. Don’t let them pass you by because these hugs are meant to make you smile.

I want to pray a short prayer for your day. Please pray this prayer with me and believe that God hears our prayers, He is faithful and He is in control.

Dear God, This Friday is a gift from You. We are so thankful our names were on the wake up list. We are privileged to have another day to seek You, seek Your plans for our lives and to be a blessing to others.

We are so grateful for the gift of prayer. We know that You hear every word we pray, You see every tear and You know our hearts.

Lord, use this hug to place a smile on my friends’ faces and peace in their hearts. Let them feel Your love.

We know that You want the very best for us, Lord. You want us to prosper and You want us to be healthy and happy.

We are learning to wait on You, Lord. We have seen that You are working things out for us. Forgive us when we don’t wait on You, when we are impatient and when we lose hope.

Lord, please reach down with Your healing hands and heal our bodies. Remove cancer, diabetes, liver disease, heart disease, kidney disease, lung disease, arthritis, hypertension, lupus and all other illnesses we are struggling with.

Remove worry, anxiety and chaos from our lives. We can always find problems to focus on, but we can also choose to see all our blessings, all the good things in our lives.

Bless all of us economically and financially. Bring financial abundance to our families, friends and everyone in need. Restore jobs and provide opportunities for people who are out of work.

Lord, may we all remember that we need You as much on our good days as we need You on our bad days. We need You on every day.

Be with us all today and this weekend and strengthen our faith in You. Renew our hope and recharge our soul.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Even though I am not with you physically, I pray that you feel this hug and the blessings sent with it. This hug is caring and meant especially for you. Friday Hugs!

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