Friday Hugs-October 21, 2022

It’s our favorite day, my friends! Good Morning, Happy Friday and Happy Weekend! It’s our third Friday of October 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.

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 so thankful for the gift of prayer, Lord. We are so thankful that we can go to You in prayer about anything. It is such a comfort knowing this.

And, Lord, sometimes we cannot speak the words we need to pray, but You still know our heart is crying out to You in prayer.

We know that our prayers are answered in Your time. We may sometimes feel like our prayers are not answered, but we are learning that everything is done in Your timing.

Please touch us with Your healing hands and remove cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, arthritis, hypertension, lupus and all other illnesses we are struggling with.

There is a lot going on in our world that creates chaos and confusion. But we know that You are not the author of confusion.

We know that You want us to love one another and to treat each other with kindness. And, Lord, please help us do that.

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.

Remove our worries, anxieties and fears. We want our trust to be so strong in You, that fear cannot enter our hearts.

Bless all of us economically and financially. Help us to abundantly provide for our families. And, Lord, we don’t want to just survive, but we want to thrive. Increase our finances so that we thrive.

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!
