Rights & Rituals: Black Women and Sacred Wonder
A wonder from the beauty of our souls united. A wonder that emerges from the sacred. Between our rage and our tears. Behind our fears and after our prayers. Inside our courage and above our differences.
The wonder in our spirits that won’t be silenced or suppressed. In the face of repressive violence meant to destabilize our communities and our minds and our everyday lives, like dropping off our children at school, make room for wonder.
Psalm 91: A Powerful Weapon of Protection Through Life’s Storms, Part 2
Believers would be wise to pray this prayer for themselves and for their families every single day. Why is this true? Well, the answer is simple. No one or nothing can protect you as God can. He is God Almighty.
