Friday Hugs-May 19, 2023

It’s our favorite day, my friends! Good Morning and Happy Friday! It’s our third Friday of May 2023 and it is going to be a wonderful, blessed day. God is going to bless us. Start your day believing this.

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 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.

Lord, use this prayer and this hug to touch everyone praying this prayer. May this hug wrap everyone in Your loving care. And use this prayer to bring us happiness and peace.

I believe You are hearing our prayers. You may not always answer when we want You to answer. But we know You hear us and You answer us in Your perfect timing.

We need You in every part of our lives. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our every day lives, that we forget to seek You. We become impatient and lose our trust in You.

Help us, Lord, as we learn 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.

We need You in our homes, our workplaces, our schools and everywhere in between. May we take peace everywhere we go.

Remove worry, anxiety and chaos from our lives. We cannot focus on You if we do not have peace in our hearts. Guide our feet away from trouble and chaos.

Heal our bodies and remove all pain and suffering. Remove cancer, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, lung disease, arthritis, lupus, hypertension and all other illnesses that we are struggling with.

Bless all of us economically and financially. Help us in our everyday lives as we work to provide for our families.

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!
