BLACK MEN

Daniel 7:9 "As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fireRevelation 1:15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.

Black men are constantly living under a deficit of role models and representation. Consider all that alongside the fact that America has a well-earned reputation for criminalizing and killing innocent Black men, especially those trying to lift us up. So, there is no perceived gain when we talk down on our black men or watch them killing each other. So, WHY are we like this? Everyone else is against us; now we are too. We must be reprogrammed if we are to survive.

Lord, behold, our enemies make an uproar; those who hate us due to the color of our skin. They lay crafty plans against our people; they consult together against our treasured ones. They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!" They conspire with one accord; against us, but You Lord stands with us so we will not be shaken. Father, let those who persecuted us be brought to Justice ⚖ in Jesus' name. Thank You, Lord, for keeping us through another night, and Thank You in advance for the hedge of protection around us today. Lord, keep our children and our children's children covered in the blood. Father, give us eyes that stay focused on You and ears that hear Your instructions so we do not fall over the obstacles ahead of us. Father, we pray for our men, young and old making them the head and not the tail. Give them the love Christ has for the Church for their families. Lord, fill them with the courage of David and the knowledge of how to implement You in their lives. Lord, surrounded them with Godly men who will help to keep them accountable and encourage them to grow in their walk with You. Father, teach them to work hard to provide for their families and discern financial matters. Lord, let them be a Godly example to our children. And if they are not fathers, we pray that they will find a younger man to help instruct in the way of the Lord. Father, fill them with hope and strengthen their faith to give You room to move in their hearts. In Jesus name Amen
