Wednesday Hugs-July 3, 2024

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday, my friends! We’ve reached the middle of the week! I pray you had a good night’s rest and that you woke up smiling and ready to face your day.

It’s the day before July 4th, our celebration of our Country’s Independence. And we are claiming a day of joy and calm. I’m grateful to have made it to another July 4th.

I am sending Wednesday hugs your way. I pray you are able to get one of these hugs. This hug is caring, and meant to let you know that you are loved.

With this hug, I’m saying, “Wake up with a prayer in heart and be encouraged that God is going to bless your day. You are not alone. God will never leave or forsake you.”

I wanted to pray a prayer for your Wednesday. Please pray this prayer with me 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 first Wednesday of July 2024.

Lord, today, we are not going to let anyone steal our happiness. We woke up. And that is enough to keep our smile, to keep us happy and to keep giving You praise.

We are so thankful to You for keeping us safe, keeping our families safe and giving us Your peace. We thank You in advance for Your continued protection.

Please reach down and touch us with Your healing hands. Replace confusion and chaos with Your clarity and calm.

Remove our worries and fears and give us Your peace. Place Your love in our hearts so that we love one another the way You have commanded us.

Take away our fears and strengthen our faith. Keep us focused on You and keep us trusting 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.

Restore families and 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, some families are struggling financially. Parents are unable to provide for their families. Provide opportunities for everyone who is struggling so that they can abundantly provide for their loved ones.

May we always strive to be peacemakers and always try to carry peace with us wherever we go. Let Your peace rule our hearts, homes, workplaces and everywhere in between.

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!
