Eleven years ago today, nine Black worshippers were murdered during Bible study at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston.
Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney. Cynthia Hurd. Susie Jackson. Ethel Lance. Rev. Depayne Middleton-Doctor. Tywanza Sanders. Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr. Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton. Myra Thompson.
We say their names and remember the sacredness of their lives.
This was not only a mass shooting. It was a heinous act of white supremacy carried out in a house of worship. We must tell the truth about that hatred, grieve what it stole, and remain committed to dismantling the violence of racism in every form.

when someone gets a viral video on tiktok so they just keep doing whatever it is/chasing that high? very much reminds of me when spongebob kept pulling his ass out after he got attention for ripping his pants.
Lets pray:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this day. Thank You for waking us up this morning and carrying us through challenges we never thought we would overcome. Thank You for Your faithfulness, even during seasons when our faith felt weak. Father, You know exactly what each person reading this is carrying today. You know every silent prayer, every hidden burden, every unanswered question, and every battle that others may not see. Nothing escapes Your attention, and nothing is beyond Your care.
Help us remember that if You have made a promise, You are faithful to fulfill it. Your plans are not dependent on our understanding, and Your provision is not limited by our circumstances.
Thank You for every prayer You are answering, every mountain You are moving, every door You are opening, and every blessing You are preparing according to Your perfect will. We place our lives, our families, our futures, and our concerns into Your hands, knowing that You are faithful and good. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Dear Lord,
Today, after everything, my heart still works. I’ve been disappointed, overlooked, talked about, and stretched thin, but somehow I still believe, still care, and still have love to give. Thank You for not letting life make me hard. Keep my heart strong without making it cold. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏾
yall don’t think it’s WEIRD , that CPS will potentially take your kids if you’re struggling (unable to feed them , clothe them , pay for necessary medicines , etc.) 🤔 and then once your kids are taken , they put them in a home with another family , and then give THEM money every month to take care of your kids ??
is that not a fucked up system ?!
Let’s pray:
Heavenly Father, as I step into this new day, I ask for Your hand of favor upon my life. Bless my health and strengthen my body. Bless my heart and guard my mind. Bless my home with peace and Your presence. Bless my family and keep them safe. Lord, bless the work of my hands, my job, finances, responsibilities, and opportunities. Let everything I do bring glory to You. Draw me closer to You, help me hear Your voice, and trust Your plans. Bless the dreams in my heart, my projects, and the doors You are opening. Let Your favor go before me and make a way. May Your goodness follow me, Your grace sustain me, and Your blessings overflow into every area of my life and touch everyone connected to me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Dear Lord,
Today, help me stop trying to fight what You told me to speak over. I keep putting my hands on battles my faith should be talking to. Teach me to bless what looks too big, declare what You said, and stop acting like the outcome depends on my strength. If You gave me the word, help me stand there in confidence until it moves. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏽
Barack aint been president in 3 terms yet they still disrespecting him & his wife... he really broke the racists in this country. He was their worst nightmare 🤣
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, before I pick up my phone, check my notifications, or start carrying today’s responsibilities, I give this day to You. Lord, calm the anxiety rushing into my mind before my feet hit the floor. Quiet the thoughts telling me I must figure everything out now. Help me release the pressure of controlling every outcome, situation, and person. Remind me You are already in the places I worry about, handling what keeps me up at night, and making a way where I see none. Today, I choose to trust You over my fears, faith over overthinking, peace over panic, and surrender over control. Give me strength to focus on what I can do and wisdom to leave the rest in Your hands. No matter what today brings, remind me I do not face it alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Dear Lord,
Today, as I step into this new week, I boldly declare victory over every circumstance. I refuse to settle for mere survival; instead, I will thrive and flourish in the face of every challenge. I step forward expecting good news, unexpected blessings, and divine favor. I expect to receive abundantly more than I have asked for. In the powerful name of Jesus, I claim these promises. Amen🙏🏽
Let’s pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You for waking me up this Sunday morning. Thank You for another day of life, rest, and a moment to reset.
Lord, as I step into today, help me slow down, breathe, and be present. Fill my mind with peace, my heart with calmness, and my spirit with renewal.
Please remove any stress, worry, or heaviness, and replace it with joy, gratitude, and clarity. Restore my energy and prepare me mentally, physically, and emotionally for the week ahead.
Guide my steps, align everything in my life according to Your will, and help me trust You in every area.
Cover me, my loved ones, and everyone reading this prayer from any harm or evil. Let today be peaceful, restful, and filled with blessings.
We love You, God. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen.
Dear Lord,
Today, I walk into what’s next with the kind of faith that doesn’t flinch. Let what shaped me show up in how I lead, decide, and respond. Let every challenge reveal brilliance, not wreck me. Let what You spoke guide my choices, and let what’s in me shift the outcome. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏾
If you’re DJing on Juneteenth, you better do your homework & put on a show. Black Americans created too many genres for yall to be playing mainstream Hip Hop and R&B all day. I better hear Gospel before I hear Afrobeats. Disco, Funk, House, Go-Go, Bounce, Hyphy. DO YOUR JOB, DJ!!
