We have reached the middle of the week, my friends! Good Morning and Happy Wednesday! I am sending Wednesday hugs your way.
I pray you are safe today. Safe from exposure to the Coronavirus and any other dangers. I pray you are happy and not letting the virus steal your joy.
This, too, shall pass. When we get on the other side of this virus, we will be happy we took every possible precaution we could take. We’ll be glad we listened to our Public Health officials and our leaders.
God knows what is going on. He isn’t deaf to your prayers. He isn’t blind to your tears. He knows you are worried. But He is in control. He knows what He is doing and He is going to bring us through these difficult times.
With this hug, I’m saying, “Be encouraged, be calm, be safe and stay in God’s peace. No matter what anyone else does or says, stay calm and be joyful in the Lord.”
I wanted to pray a short, simple prayer for encouragement. Pray this prayer with me and believe that God is going to give us His strength to make it out of these times.
Dear God, we know that You are still on the throne. We trust You and we believe that You will bring us out of these difficult times.
Take away our fears and renew our faith. Remove our racing thoughts and calm our minds. Remove the sadness from our hearts and replace it with Your joy.
Heal those who are infected, keep others from being infected and remove this virus from our lands, remove it from this world.
Remind us that better days are ahead. Remind us that You are with us. Help us to always trust in You and rely upon Your power to bring us out of the darkness into the light.
In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Today is going to be a good day for you. Believe it. God is going to bless you in ways you’ve never even thought about.
If you get to a place today where you need a hug, imagine this big, caring hug that I am sending you! Wednesday Hugs!
Sending you love, blessings and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
