Friday Hugs-March 17, 2023

It’s our favorite day, my friends! Good Morning, Happy Friday and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s our third Friday of March 2023 and I pray it is a beautiful start to your weekend.

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.

Keep a smile on your face and keep peace in your heart. And if you see someone without a smile, give them yours.

I’m sending Friday hugs your way. All hugs are special, but these are even more special since they are sent to start your weekend off with a 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. It is so wonderful to wake up knowing that You’ve given me another day to live. You’ve brought us through another week and we are thankful.

We are blessed, Lord, to see another St. Patrick’s Day. Thank You for waking us up.

Thank You for the gift of prayer. We are grateful for this lifeline straight to You. I don’t know where we would be without prayer.

It is so comforting to be able to pray, to talk with You, to give You all our worries and burdens.

You hear us when we pray the words out loud and You hear us when we cannot speak any words. You hear us when we can only cry.

Sometimes we cannot speak, sometimes we cannot cry, but you hear our heart. And we are so thankful that You hear us.

We will keep our eyes focused on You and not let all the chaos of the world enter our hearts and minds. We want to trust You on the good days as well as the bad days.

Heal everyone who is sick and suffering. Remove cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, arthritis, hypertension, lupus and all other illnesses 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.

Financially bless our families and meet all their needs.

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!
