And y’all somewhere between being seen as a tool and used as a trophy Black people never actually get to be fully human. As my colleague, Treasure Brooks said, the only time we seem to love Black bodies is when we can hold them up as a trophy.

Some Christians miss Church services on Sundays in order to watch football matches. We can also show devotion to God by constantly attending Church or fellowship just as Hanna did. For example, some people while praying receive and make calls on their phones from time to time!įasting is a good way of subduing the flesh to give our prayers more fervency – we should fast as much as God enables us.

Some just pray to fulfil all righteousness, usually with served God with prayer and fasting days and nights. Today’s passage tells us that she did not depart from the temple, but too busy.
