“Never Mess With a Praying Black Woman!” Joy Reid

Cornelius stared at the angel. He became afraid and said, “What do you want, Lord?” The angel said, “God has heard your prayers. God has seen that you give to the poor, and God remembers you. Acts 10:2 NCV cont.,

I’ve been praying for many of you daily at 1:11 pm for more than a decade. I’m convinced God Hears our prayers. I refuse to allow anyone to interrupt my prayer time. Many of you happened to be with me at 1:11 pm. Thank you for the gift of your presence as a prayer partner. You parked and prayed at 1:11 pm with us.

Recently, I heard Joy Reid say ” Never mess with a Black Woman who prays!” I am a Black Woman who prays. Don’t mess with me while I pray. Don’t fear me. Fear the one who hears my prayers. Don’t mess with the One who picks me up when I Fall on my knees. If Ground zero is where you land and where you emotionally may be. Maybe it’s close to where you are but, God reminds us we are never too far. We fall down but, our prayers to a Mighty Comforter, Healer, and Redeemer lift us up.

Some of you fall on your knees, and pray. There are times when you walk and pray with me at 1:11 pm. The beauty is that you stop what you are doing and you pray with us at 1:11 pm.

You stand in stores, on street corners, and you sit with me on a park bench, or in a church pew. We meet on a street corner or unfamiliar places. We find a place to pray at 1:11 pm. We pray this prayer:

Loving, Gracious, and Merciful God,

Let us pray

God, thank you for warming our thoughts with renewed hope.
You give us eyes to see in ourselves what You hope for us.
Kindle the fires that ignite our dreams.
Extinguish the torches that kill our faithful imaginations.
As we wait and pray for a renewed spirit birth of the Christ spirit in our lives, may we find meaning, purpose, and direction in our lives. Help us to find the star that informs us about our New Year. We thank You for holding us and balancing us in Your Holy Hands. Just like the stars above us.
We are Floating, balancing, embracing the Light of Your Presence and
so we may be shining lights in the midst of darkness. Amen
