Denika is intentional, compassionate, and faithful in prayer. She uses her voice powerfully and is loved so well by her people. She seeks the Lord with persistence and she is a warrior for those she comes into contact with.
The past few weeks for me have been crazy, heartbreaking, and overwhelming. At the same time I have experienced joy and hope in a new way. I think that’s the power of conviction. When you are cut to the heart, really cut to the heart. You experience pain, you are extended grace, provided peace (peace that God is in control not that there won’t be conflict), and your faith drives action. I want people to know that God isn’t impressed by actions if they aren’t rooted in faith. I have faith because I know that God has more truth for us to discover and He aches for justice. In the same way, God isn’t impressed by faith if it isn’t followed by action guided by the Holy Spirit. That’s the power of God in us. When we are met with truth, we have no choice but to have a heart change because our faith drives action. So don’t negate prayer, but don’t negate action. Faith does. If you say you don’t want to be silent, but then don’t take real actions towards racial reconciliation then you are being silent. Today I pray for all of us to have a holy discontent. One that looks like on our knees secret place prayer, hard conversations at our dinner tables, reflection on white privilege, studying systemic racism, supporting and cultivating solutions, and a daily desire to meet truth with truth.
