Wednesday Hugs-December 4, 2024

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday, my friends! It’s the middle of the week and our first Wednesday of our blessed month of December! I pray you had a good night’s rest and that you woke up ready for this beautiful day that God has given us.

We’ve reached the middle of the first week of December and we have God to thank for that.

I am sending Wednesday hugs your way. With this hug, I’m saying, “Be encouraged, keep the faith and keep hope alive in your heart. No matter what anyone else does or says, stay calm and be joyful in the Lord.”

I wanted to pray a prayer for your Wednesday. Please pray this prayer with me, believe that God hears our prayers and receive the blessings I am sending with it.

Dear God, Thank You for this beautiful Wednesday. We praise Your Holy Name for waking us up and letting us see this beautiful day. We are moving toward the blessed day when we celebrate the birth of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

For many of  us, Lord, it has been a difficult year. But we know that it has been You who has brought us through and it’s You who is continuing to keep us safe and who is restoring us.

Lord, let us use the love that the Christmas Season brings to help and bless others. Help us reflect Your love to everyone we meet.

Remove our confusion, worries and fears and strengthen our trust in You. Renew our hope and help us to always believe in miracles.

For all those who are sick and suffering, heal their body, mind and spirit. Remove cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, arthritis, hypertension, lupus, addiction and all other illnesses we are struggling with.

For all those who need a financial miracle, make a way for them.

For all families who need healing, bring estranged members together so that healing can begin. Show family members the good in each other and remind them that family is so important.

Bring peace to our homes. May we all remember to never take our loved ones for granted and to always let them know how much we love them.

Lord, may we guard our happiness and work to keep joy in our hearts. It is You, Lord, who wakes us up each day and it is You who keeps us safe.

Bring Your people together so that we may help one another grow in Your love, kindness and compassion.

We thank You for Your everlasting love. Your love is a love that knows no bounds and no limits. May we all feel Your love and grace today and every day.

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!
