Best-Selling Devotional Has Prayer to 'Help Me to Hate White People'
PJ Media ^ | 4-7-21 | Matt Margolis

Yet, in the book, A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal, there is a prayer called “Prayer of a Weary Black Woman” that asks God to “help me to hate white people.”

Dear God,

Please help me to hate white people. Or at least to want to hate them. At least, I want to stop caring about them, individually and collectively. I want to stop caring about their misguided, racist souls, to stop believing that they can be better, that they can stop being racist.

The book, published in February, was a New York Times bestseller.

...the whole prayer is a hateful screed against white people, and even specifically calls out “Fox News-loving, Trump-supporting voters.”

My prayer is that you would help me to hate the other white people—you know, the nice ones. The Fox News-loving, Trump-supporting voters who “don’t see color” but who make thinly veiled racist comments about “those people.” The people who are happy to have me over for dinner but alert the neighborhood watch anytime an unrecognized person of color passes their house.

[…]

Lord, if you can’t make me hate them, at least spare me from their perennial gaslighting, whitemansplaining, and white woman tears.

How does something like this get published and make the New York Times bestsellers list? Imagine if there was a daily prayer in there that began “Dear God, Please help me to hate black people.”

But then there’s this passage:

Lord, if it be your will, harden my heart. Stop me from striving to see the best in people. Stop me from being hopeful that white people can do and be better. Let me imagine them instead as white-hooded robes standing in front of burning crosses.

This shaved-head black woman got her degree from Duke Divinity School. That figures. They haven't graduated a Bible-believing person in a long time. She is also an Associate Professor of Practical Theology at Mercer University. Good grief, the trash that gets taught in the name of God! She says that she promotes racial reconciliation. Yep, by promoting hatred of white people. SMH.

FTA: The offending prayer was written by Chanequa Walker-Barnes, Ph.D. According to her bio, she is a “theologian and psychologist” and “her mission is to serve as a catalyst for healing, justice, and reconciliation.”

Living in the era of politically-correct anti-white racism.

Is that really a person’s prayer? Or is it the prayer of some misguided fictional character in a book who finds redemption in the end?

Prayers for evil are a special kind of sin.

These people are deceived by Satan.

They need our prayers...however it may be too late.

I think we are living in Romans 1 times...the time of the Reprobate Mind.

Lord, if it be your will, harden my heart.

No, need to ask God, honeychild, you already succeeded on yo own.

Yeah ... the book should probably clarify that it’s a collection of prayers addressing a fallen angel and not The Lord.

I used to wonder how the people in France could cruelly behead so many of their own people during the French Revolution. Don’t wonder anymore. Humans have not gotten better with time. They are still capable of atrocious behavior.

Jesus said that if you hate another you are a murderer at heart. Hatred leads to murder. Dangerous times we live in.

The Democrat Party is a religious cult and a hate group.

It most definitely is not politically correct to state the truth about blacks, but the fact is that they are the most racist people in the country as a group. Undoubtedly there are individual blacks who are not racist, but my personal experience tells me the majority are. They hate almost everyone different from themselves and, judging by the amount of violent crime they commit against their own, I believe they hate their own as well.

Philosopher George Santayana is remembered for saying, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." As such, it's wise for us to remember how the Tutsis endured a campaign of verbal abuse in the media prior to being massacred in the Rwandan genocide. Likewise, Dr. Joseph Goebbels unfurled the denigration of Poles and Jews before the Nazis started World War II.

If White people in America can't read the tea leaves to understand the future that's so brazenly and obviously being prepared for them, I honestly wonder if any force on earth can save them.

On the basis of intimate, personal experience, I can vouch for every word you’ve said.

Don’t forget anti-Semitism. That is also in Ohio as well.

I meant to say in vogue, not in Ohio. I believe I have got to retrain myself and proofread everything.
