SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Numbers 6:24-26 (ESV); Ephesians 3:16-19 (ESV) There is a negative narrative that exists, a false paradox that was created to destroy the image in our minds of the importance and necessity of fathers. We have been lead to believe that fathers being absent and virtually non-existent in their children's lives is the status quo...and that just ain't so! That is a lie at its core, created by the enemy to erode our perception of and desire for relationship with God. If we succumb to believing the narrative that our earthy fathers are absent and do not love us, it will become difficult for many to believe in, relate to or maintain relationship with our Heavenly Father who loves us or feel safe and secure with earthly father-figures who desire to fill the void of the absent father in their lives. In this special Father's Day tribute, "D.A.D. LOVE! - A Daddy Appreciation Day Tribute", host Mignon Seals offers a prayer that both honors fathers AND asks God to shift the paradigm of fatherhood in perception and practice. God desires that we see and value fathers as He does...earthly demonstrations of His great love for His children. We invite you to listen now...HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! Remain encouraged, remember to make time to Selah every day and join us next week to pray together. May God continue to keep and bless you!

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Ephesians 4:26 (ESV): Psalm 51:10 (ESV); Matthew 12:25 (NIV); There is an intrinsic pain that exists in African Americans that we do not have the ability or capacity to articulate with words to describe how we feel regarding the condition of this world and the context of "living while Black" in America to our children. There is a burden we carry for our children and the men in our lives every time they leave home that no one should ever have to take to God in prayer on a daily basis. And there is another burden that people of color, (and those that empathize with us), are carrying as we struggle to comprehend the loss of Rayshard Brooks' life or how leaders could pass laws posthumously on behalf of Breonna Taylor BEFORE they arrest those responsible for taking her precious life. That is not God's heart for us or His divine design for our lives. We must take intentional action to plan, implement and maintain change, however, we must first touch and agree and seek God's rescue and wisdom in prayer. This episode, "MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER!", is a devotional tribute to Rashard Brooks and Breonna Taylor. Host Mignon Seals wants you to know, "The Lord works righteousness for all who are oppressed" and He responds to the cries of His children; He will grant you rest for your tires souls. Listen now for strategies and encouragement to help you if you've reached the place that just makes you wanna holler. Please make sure you are taking extra steps and making extra time to to pray and create space for self-care during the critical time. If you find that your stress, anxiety or depression are becoming more than you can handle, we at Selah Vie! want to encourage you to see the support you need to keep you in a healthy emotional and spiritual space. Remain encouraged, remember to make time to Selah every day and join us next week to pray together. May God continue to keep and bless you!

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: James 2:20b,c NKJV; Romans 8:26 NASB Here at Selah Vie!, our hearts have been heavy, as we're sure yours have been too, as a result of the recent murders of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, and the callous attempt by Amy Cooper to weaponize the police against Christian Cooper in New York's Central Park. These horrific events and the heinous extrajudicial killings of our Brothers and Sisters that preceded them compelled our host Mignon Seals to write this prayer, "Please... I. CAN'T. BREATHE!", for justice and healing of our nation. The prolific writer James Baldwin said, "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." "Please... I. CAN'T. BREATHE!", is not only a call to prayer, it is a call to apply action to our faith. We are praying that God helps us to create a world that when we lift our hands it is not to shout, "Don't shoot!", but to shout, "Hallelujah!" Our hope is that through this prayer you find rest, peace and hope in God. We must all trust in His desire and ability to deliver and heal us while we stand on our strength in Him to apply action to our faith. Remain encouraged, remember to make time to Selah every day and join us next week to pray together. May God continue to keep and bless you!

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Psalm 61:1-2 (NKJV); John 14:27 (ESV) Life can present us with experiences that cause us to feel completely overwhelmed. For some, while in the midst of adversity, it may be challenging to remind yourselves that God is in control. When your heart is overwhelmed, how do you ground yourself in God? Did you know that experiencing adversity does not mean an absence of love or concern from God nor is it an indication that He is inept or powerless? In this latest podcast installment, "Rock Steady", host Minister Mignon Seals offers a prayer for inner peace to remind you that God is always working on your behalf even when He is "seemingly" silent. Team Selah Vie!'s hope is that you enjoyed "Rock Steady" and that it provides you with inner peace and assurance that God is with you no matter the degree of difficulty you may be contending with right now.

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Psalm 5:11-12 (NIV) It was five years ago, on May 22, 2015, host Minister Mignon Seals underwent chemotherapy treatment because all other medications failed to successfully manage her Lupus (SLE). That wasn't her first chemotherapy treatment, and while she wasn't certain about the outcome of the treatment or her life, SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT GOD WAS IN CONTROL AND SHE TRUSTED HIM. In this special edition episode, "RESTORED!", Mignon shares her personal testimony and victory in hopes that it will encourage listeners to believe God for their own healing and His ability to restore and rebuild their lives. Are you terrified of what is occurring in your life or happening to you right now? Is your current circumstance dictating your disposition, distorting your perception of yourself or damaging your faith in God? Well then, this prayer is perfect for you!

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Romans 8:26 (NASB); Psalm 34:18 (ESV); Jeremiah 17:14 (NIV) No pain is alike, yet all of us at some point in our lives, will become very well acquainted with it and find ourselves on a precipice. No human being is exempt from the experience of pain and suffering. It varies in degree and severity, yet despite the spectrum of pain any one person is on, whether it is physical, emotional, financial or spiritual, we all need the same Savior to respond to our prayers. Are you feeling like you're close to the edge? Do you know that you can turn to God for rescue and relief? Host Minister Mignon Seals offers you this latest podcast, "The Precipice", to encourage you to turn to God and His Word when you're contending with circumstances that are overwhelming and beyond the scope of your control.

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Psalm 30:5b (KJV) This joy that I have, the world didn't give it to me and the world can't take it away! That is the joy that we at Selah Vie! have and the joy we want for you...that is the joy God desires for you too! We want you to possess a joy that runs so intrinsically deep that it literally becomes a part of who you are, because when that happens, there is nothing that can occur in your life or happen to you that can diminish or take the joy of the Lord away from you.  "OVERJOYED!" is a prayer for true contentment. Our hearts desire for you is that nothing has the ability to corrode your joy because you are so grounded in God. Being intentional about focussing on the good in your life and staying prayed up will help you to remain grounded in God and sustain your joy and contentment in Him.

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Matthew 11:28 (CSB) A you living in a perpetual state of heartbreak or frustration? Do you feel stagnant or "stuck"? Have you been living a life that is consistent with God's heart for you?  When God calls us to remember, it's not to reflect and ruminate on our mistakes, but to remind us of His goodness and love for us. It's time to release the pain of your past, adopt a heart posture of forgiveness and move FORWARD with your life. In this latest podcast offering, "Unstuck", host Minister Mignon Seals shares a devotional prayer that encourages listeners to turn to God for help to make necessary adjustments to their mindsets and lives.  Feeling "stuck" or being "stuck" does not have to be a way of life for any believer. God can take the very frustration and heartbreak you're contending with and use them as an impetus and catalyst to bring about true transformation in your life. Remind yourself of God's goodness and move forward in His assurance for His plan for your life. Remain encouraged, make time to Selah every day and join us next week to pray together. God bless you!

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: 1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV) Are you struggling t overcome an unhealthy relationship with food? Is it becoming increasingly more difficult to find the strength to exercise restraint and make wise meal choices? Overeating and food addiction DO NOT have to overrun your life. God never intended for you to be trapped by your emotive state or food cravings. He can give you the resources you need to manage your emotions - to heal from from the internal wounds of unmet needs and unaddressed trauma so that you can properly use food as the gift He intended it to be and live the abundant life He purposed for you. Like many of you, host Minister Mignon Seals wears many hats. When she prays with you during this episode, "An Epicurious Escape", you'll experience both Minister Mignon and Chef Ming. (Smile.) From her heart to yours, the intent of this podcast is to help those who are struggling with their relationship with food, especially during this period of SIP (sheltering-in-place). God created you to have a life full of joy and freedom. Our hope is that "An Epicurious Escape" helps you begin your journey on that path. Remain encouraged, make time to Selah every day and join us next week to pray together. God bless you!

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Proverbs 26:20 NKJV; Ephesians 4:29 NKJV; Psalm 141:2-3 NKJV Gossip has the potential to be damaging and hurtful, but it has absolutely no power over God's sovereign plan for believers' lives.  In dealing with the aftermath of gossip, most people tend to count their losses...count the losses of what they believed to be solid relationships or awesome opportunities that were unfairly snatched away. Our hope at Sela Vie! is that after praying with host Minister Mignon Seals in "Arrested Development",  you'll walk away knowing that any relationship that ended and any door that was closed as a result of gossip was NEVER a part of God's plan for your life OR He only intended for it to last for a season. Remember, God alone determines your value and your future; He can repurpose what was intended to be harmful and use it for His good. We are praying God gives you the strength and wisdom to resist and reject the attack of the enemy through the tactics of gossip and that you hold on to His truth about you.  Remain encouraged, make time to Selah every day and join us next week to pray together.

Sometimes, when life becomes overwhelming, it's really all on us and the decisions we've made. In this week's podcast "Blindspotting", host Minister Mignon Seals shares an introspective prayer that helps us recognize the lack of attention we pay God and the necessity to recalibrate and reprioritize where we focus our time and attention so that we can ultimately make wise, Christ-centered decisions.  We've all been shortsighted and impulsive at some juncture in our lives. The key to overcoming blindspots, in conjunction with concerted prayer, is being willing to regularly reflect on our mistakes; not for the sake of ruminating or beating ourselves up, but to give ourselves an opportunity to assess where we've made mistakes so that we can sidestep those ditches in the future. Our prayer for our listeners, is that Blindspotting leads our listeners to leave no area of their lives unchecked, unattended or unsubmitted to God. We at Selah Vie! are both praying and excited for you as you embark on a new journey with new vision! Remain encouraged, make time every day to Selah and join us next week to pray together.
