Good Morning and Happy Saturday, my friends! It’s our first Saturday of October. We’re moving quickly toward the end of the year. Let’s make every second count.
I am so glad that you are able to join me a few minutes for a hug and a prayer. You’re not here by accident. You are here because you are meant to be here.
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 weekend. We wouldn’t be here without You in our lives. You continue to keep us safe and happy. We are thankful to see this first weekend of October.
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 accept Your blessings of happiness, peace, joy and renewed energy.
We know that You have the power to make us feel renewed, to feel like our energy and our motivation are refreshed.
Lord, 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.
Heal every person who is sick and suffering. Remove all pains and worries from their bodies, hearts and minds. Restore good health and keep us away from anything that may bring illness to us.
We know, Lord, that it is important for us to feel peace and calm in our hearts, our homes, and all spaces in which we spend our time. We cannot focus on You if we live a chaotic life.
So, place Your peace in our hearts and homes. Show us a way around drama and negativity and surround us with positive people.
Let only positive people and energy enter our homes. Let us be peacemakers, Lord. May we take peace with us everywhere we go and may we seek to always live in peace. 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!
