It’s our favorite day, my friends! Good Morning, Happy Friday and Happy Weekend! It’s our third Friday of September 2023 and I pray it is a beautiful start to your weekend.
Today, we have a choice. We can look around and see our problems or we can look around and see all the blessings God has placed in our lives. Let’s choose to see our blessings.
So, no matter what happens today, don’t let anyone bring you down. Keep smiling, keep moving forward, keep trusting God and His plan for your life.
I’m sending Friday hugs your way. Friday hugs are special and are meant to start your weekend off with a smile. So, grab one or two of these hugs as they go by.
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, Thank You for waking us up and giving us another day to live. You’ve brought us through another week and we are thankful.
We know that You hear our prayers. You hear us when we cry out loud and You hear the cries of our heart when we cannot form the words.
And You hear us when we speak words of pain, words of hope and when we tell You what we need. We need You in every part of our lives. And we are so glad we can go to You in prayer.
Lord, many of us have been struggling. We may have health issues, we may be struggling financially, or we may have issues within our families that need Your healing.
Please remove our struggles and heal us in every part of our lives.Β We want to trust You every day, to heal us in whatever needs healing, and we pray that our faith is strengthened every day.
Heal everyone who is sick and suffering. Heal everyone suffering with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, arthritis, lupus, and all other illnesses that we are struggling with.
Remove our worries, anxieties and fears. We want our trust to be so strong in You, that fear cannot enter our hearts. Take away our overthinking, racing thoughts and our feelings of inadequacy.
Bless all of us economically and financially. Bless our families so that they may provide for their loved ones.
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.Β 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!
