Saturday Hugs-January 2, 2021

Happy First Weekend of 2021! I’m raising my coffee cup and saying, “Here’s to us, My Friends!”  God brought us through 2020 and He’s opened our eyes to see this beautiful first Saturday of January 2021. Good Morning and Happy Saturday, my friends!

I’m sending Saturday hugs your way. This hug is to say that God loves you, cares for you, protects you, wants to see you blessed, and wants to see you happy.

And I am sending a little prayer with your hug. Please pray this prayer with me. And when you pray, believe that God hears our prayers and He is still on the throne.

Dear God, We thank You for this day and this first weekend0f 2021. We wouldn’t be here without You in our lives. You continue to keep us safe and happy. We thank You in advance for a weekend that is happy, peaceful and blessed.

Lord, we pray that we never forget that it is You who keeps us safe, who keeps us happy and who blesses us each and every day. Keep this knowledge in our hearts and minds throughout 2021.

Reach down and touch every single person who is praying this prayer. Let them feel Your peace, calm and grace. Wrap us in Your loving care.

We claim and receive the blessings You are sending for our weekend, Lord. We know that You are still on the throne, still in control and You still want happiness for us.

Lord, make us feel renewed. Refresh our energy and our motivation. Remove our feelings of tiredness, remove our aches and pains and give us a feeling of renewed hope in You.

Please send Your angels to guard and protect us. Place Your shields around us and push back anyone or anything that would do us harm.

Lord, bring a complete end to this pandemic. Take this virus away from Your people and heal everyone suffering with it. We know You can completely wipe it off the planet.

The past year was so hard on us. Separation from our family and friends, loss of employment, and declining or repleted finances have left us trying to regain normalcy. And we know that only You can heal us.

Lord, let each of us establish peace within us. And may each of us take Your peace with us wherever we go. We want to have Your peace in our homes, our workplaces, our public places, our places of worship and everywhere else we go.

Let only positive people and energy enter our homes. Remove all negativity from our spaces and dispel drama before it finds us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Whenever you need a hug today, I hope you will remember this one. Saturday Hugs!

Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
