Sunday Hugs-October 4, 2020

It’s a beautiful Sunday my friends. Good Morning and Happy Sunday. We are already into October and I pray that you have started today with a smile on your face and peace in your heart.

No matter where you are worshiping today, if you can attend your Church, or if you are at home, believe that God is with you and He is going to bless your day.

All of us have things we are worried about. We are human and we sometimes forget that God is in control. But fear can be so debilitating. It can rule your entire being.

You may start to worry about a little thing, and before you know it, you are letting your fear control you. When this happens, it is hard to focus on God. It is hard to hear His voice when we are so consumed with worry.

Don’t let fear and worry grip you, don’t let fear come into your heart. Just pray and trust that God is going to send His angels to protect you.

For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. ~Psalm 91:11.

God will cover you with His protection. He will give you calm in times of chaos and He will bring peace to your heart and home.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” ~Psalm 91:1-2.

With this hug, I am praying a simple prayer for protection and calm: Dear God, We humbly ask that You provide a shield of protection over us all.

Keep us safe from all harm. For anyone who is sick and suffering, touch them with Your healing hands. Restore their good health, renew their energy, and renew their hope and faith in You.

Replace our worries with Your peace and remove our fears and anxieties. Help us to remember that You are with us, You are in control and You can heal Your people.

May we always serve as a light to lead others to You. May everyone we meet see in us Your kindness, Your compassion, Your goodness and Your love.

Surround us with positive, caring people and push back anyone who wants to harm us. Help us see beyond the facade of people who don’t really support us.

Heal the chaos, division and unrest across our Country. May Your people treat others with Your love, compassion and kindness.

Bless us so that we may bless others and let us serve as a beacon so that others find their way to you in times of darkness. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

With this hug, I pray that God blesses you and heals you. And whenever you need it, close your eyes and remember this hug and this prayer.

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