Then the LORD said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others. The vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.”

Heavenly Father,

You reveal Your plans to us with clarity and purpose, guiding us with Your wisdom and assuring us with Your faithful timing. Today, we come before You on behalf of Shelby County, Tennessee, seeking Your direction and blessing as we strive to align our community's efforts with Your divine plan.

We ask, Lord, that You grant us the wisdom to discern the visions You have for our community. Help us to articulate these visions clearly, so that each person in Shelby County can grasp them and move forward with a unified purpose. Inspire our leaders and citizens alike to commit to these plans, fostering cooperation and diligence in their execution.

Encourage us with the steadfastness of Your timing. In moments of impatience or doubt, remind us that Your promises are sure and will be fulfilled at the appointed time. Strengthen our hearts to wait actively, engaged in doing good and building up our community as we anticipate the fruits of our labor.

Bolster our faith, Father, as we place our trust in You. Let us draw comfort from knowing that You are with us every step of the way, guiding our decisions and supporting our endeavors. May Your presence be a constant reassurance that we are never alone in our efforts to improve and prosper.

Unite us in our goals and dreams, creating a strong bond of community spirit. May Shelby County be a place of peace, prosperity, and joy, reflecting the goodness of Your plans and the bounty of Your blessings.

We trust in Your perfect timing and unwavering promise, and we place all our hopes for Shelby County into Your faithful hands.

We offer this prayer in the name of Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Amen.
