Christmas Day Hugs-December 25, 2020

Merry Christmas, My Friends and Happy Friday! I woke up thanking God for Christmas. Where would we be without the birth of Jesus Christ? If you’re reading this, I pray that you have the most blessed Christmas Day ever!

I’m sending Christmas Day Friday hugs your way. Especially today—on this very special Christmas Day, hugs are special. Hugs let you know that you are cared about.

I want to pray a simple prayer for your Christmas Day. Please pray with me and believe that God gave us Jesus so that the world could be changed, so that our sins may be forgiven and we may live eternally.

Dear, God, Thank You for Your perfect gift, Jesus Christ. I am forever grateful that You loved us so much that You gave Him to us. Keep us focused on Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas today.

It is the birth of Jesus that brings joy, hope and faith to us today. It is the birth of Jesus that brings joy, hope and faith to us every single day. Without Jesus, sadness would overtake us and overtake the world.

Lord, many of our family and friends are struggling today. They may have lost a loved one or they may be going through hard times. The past nine months have been so hard on everyone.

Many have reached a point where they have no hope. They don’t have money, they fear the future and they feel as if their world has fallen apart. Please be with them today.

We are standing on Your promises in Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11.

We know, Lord, that You want to see us happy, successful, hopeful and believing in our future. So, we pray that everyone praying this prayer remembers this.

Restore health to our bodies, minds, hearts, emotions and spirits. Let this day remind us that anything is possible because You can make the impossible possible.

Be with my family and friends and everyone reading this today. Make the rough roads smooth and guide us with Your loving care.

Bring health to our Country and across the world, Lord. We know that You can completely remove this virus from across our Land and You can heal anyone who suffers from it.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.  Amen.

Close your eyes and imagine a big, caring hug that I am giving you! I care about you and want you to be happy!  Merry Christmas and may God bless you and your loved ones!

Sending you Christmas Blessings of love, peace and happiness from Sterrett, Alabama!
