Morning and Happy Wednesday! We’ve reached the middle of the week, my friends! It’s our fourth Wednesday of August 2023 and we are blessed because we woke up to see this new day.
I get a lot of emails telling me that Friday hugs are their favorite, but Wednesday hugs are their next favorite. I may agree with that, but right now, Wednesday hugs are definitely my favorite.
A mid-week hug is always welcome. It helps you to let go of any stress that you’ve had in the beginning of the week and it renews your peace and helps you prepare for the rest of the week.
I wanted to pray a short, simple prayer and send it with your hug. Please pray this prayer with me and receive the blessings I am sending with it.
Dear God, It’s another beautiful day, Lord. Whether we have sunshine or rain, it is beautiful because You woke us up to see this beautiful, fourth Wednesday of August 2023.
Not only did we wake up, Lord. But we are healthy. Our families are healthy. We have a family who loves us and food on our table. And we are blessed with so many more things.
Lord, we know that You are in control and You are making a way for us. And we know that, with You, all things are possible.
Heal everyone who is sick and suffering and restore good, complete health to their bodies.
Touch us and remove cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, arthritis, hypertension, lupus and all other illnesses we are struggling with.
Remove our pains and replace worry with Your peace and calm. Thank You for opening doors of opportunity, bringing happiness to our homes, and our families’ homes.
Lord, we cannot make it without You. You give us strength to keep going. You give us hope for our futures. Renew our faith and trust in You, Lord.
Lord, we need You more than ever. We need You in every part of our lives. We need You at home, in our workplaces, in our public spaces, in our schools and everywhere else.
We thank You for never leaving us. For always helping us, for always leading and guiding us, and for always forgiving us. We thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, so that our sins are forgiven and we may live eternally.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
If you get to a place today where you need a hug, imagine this big, caring hug that I am sending to you! Wednesday Hugs!
Sending you love, blessings and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
