SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Ephesians 4:26 (ESV): Psalm 51:10 (ESV); Matthew 12:25 (NIV);
There is an intrinsic pain that exists in African Americans that we do not have the ability or capacity to articulate with words to describe how we feel regarding the condition of this world and the context of "living while Black" in America to our children. There is a burden we carry for our children and the men in our lives every time they leave home that no one should ever have to take to God in prayer on a daily basis.
And there is another burden that people of color, (and those that empathize with us), are carrying as we struggle to comprehend the loss of Rayshard Brooks' life or how leaders could pass laws posthumously on behalf of Breonna Taylor BEFORE they arrest those responsible for taking her precious life.
That is not God's heart for us or His divine design for our lives. We must take intentional action to plan, implement and maintain change, however, we must first touch and agree and seek God's rescue and wisdom in prayer.
This episode, "MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER!", is a devotional tribute to Rashard Brooks and Breonna Taylor. Host Mignon Seals wants you to know, "The Lord works righteousness for all who are oppressed" and He responds to the cries of His children; He will grant you rest for your tires souls. Listen now for strategies and encouragement to help you if you've reached the place that just makes you wanna holler.
