Friday Hugs-August 4, 2023

It’s our favorite day, my friends! Good Morning and Happy Friday! Thank You, Lord, for bringing us through this week and waking us up to see this beautiful, first Friday of August.

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 start your Friday with a smile.

I want to pray a short prayer for our day and our weekend. Please pray this prayer with me and believe that God hears our prayers, He is faithful and He is in control. And He is working things out for us in His perfect timing.

Dear God, We are so thankful our names were on the wake up list and we are here to see this beautiful Friday that You have given us. We are finishing up our first week of August and we are thankful to You for bringing this new day to us.

We trust and believe that You hear our prayers. We trust and believe that You are working things out for us and You are making a way for us where there seems to be no way.

We pray for a season of blessings and abundance. May all of the month of August be filled with happiness, abundance, joy, peace and opportunities for us and our families.

We want to turn over all our stress and worries to You, Lord. We know You can take on our burdens and we can leave all our worries behind us.

Sometimes we let fear come into our hearts. Forgive us, Lord, when we don’t wait on You, when we are impatient and when we lose hope.

There are so many things happening outside our control. And we lose focus when we stop to focus on the chaos instead of staying in Your peace.

Heal our bodies, our minds, our emotions and our spirits. Restore complete health to us so that we are happy and joyous.

Remove worry, anxiety and chaos from our lives. Guide our feet away from trouble, harm and chaos. And heal us from cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, arthritis, respiratory illnesses, lupus, hypertension and all other illnesses that we are suffering from.

Please be with and comfort those families who have lost loved ones. Let them know that You are with them and will never leave them.

Bless all of us economically and financially. Restore finances of everyone in need. Restore jobs and provide opportunities for people who are out of work.

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!
