Good Morning and God bless, my friends. I hope you are having a beautiful, peaceful Sunday morning! It’s our third Sunday of September 2020 and you’re not here by accident. You are supposed to be right here, reading this.
I’m sending Sunday hugs your way. I hope to are able to get one and pass it on to your family and friends. I pray it brings a smile to your face and peace to your heart.
God has made us a promise. If we go to Him, He will carry our burdens and give us rest. He will take the worry. He will take the confusion. He will take the uncertainty, the pain and the feeling of loneliness.
Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. ~Matthew 11:28.
Just breathe. And do your best to remain calm. Remember who has told you that He’s got your back. Remember who said He would give you rest. He didn’t just say that He would make you feel a little bit better.
When you are in a restful state, you are not worried about anything. Your body, your mind, your heart and your soul are at peace. That tells you that He isn’t taking you half-way. He is giving you rest.
He is taking away all the fear, confusion, hurt, sadness, sickness and loneliness and making you feel whole again.
Dear God, Thank You for waking us up today. Our lives may not be perfect, but You have blessed us. And we are grateful. We are grateful for Your mercy, grace and favor.
For each person reading this, please remove all worries, doubts, fears, anxieties, sadness and loneliness and give them Your perfect peace and rest. Let their hearts feel Your love and comfort.
Let them know that You are with them during these difficult times and that You will never leave them. Thank You for bringing an end to this pandemic.
Restore our good health and restore good health to our families and friends. Renew our energy and our physical strength. Keep our minds healthy and strong.
Please continue to bring peace back to our cities and states and across our Country. Help us always stop to remember that Your love and grace is sufficient for us all.
Guide our steps away from drama and let us always be peacemakers. We love You, Lord, and we thank You in advance for the blessed week we are going to have.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
As you finish your prayers, I pray you feel this caring hug I am sending you. I hope you feel it today and all week long!
Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
