If you keep quiet at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you were born for such a time as this?

Heavenly Father,

You are sovereign over all history, orchestrating events and positioning Your people precisely where they need to be. Your wisdom and timing are perfect, guiding us through each moment of our lives. We come to You now on behalf of Shelby County, Tennessee, recognizing that You have placed us here for such a time as this.

We ask You, Lord, to empower us as we seek to fulfill the roles You have destined for us in our community. Grant us the courage to speak and act with conviction, especially in moments that demand boldness and decisive action. May our efforts contribute to the well-being and prosperity of Shelby County, reflecting Your love and justice.

Nurture our community with Your providential care. Provide opportunities for growth and renewal, and help us to seize these moments, fully aware of the impact we can make. Inspire our leaders and all citizens with a sense of responsibility and purpose, that together we might face challenges with wisdom and unity.

Strengthen us to support one another, to extend kindness, and to work towards a community where every individual can thrive. Let our actions demonstrate the grace and compassion You show us daily, fostering an environment of peace and cooperation.

We place our trust in You, knowing that You are with us and for us. Lead us forward, Lord, under Your guidance and in Your grace, as we strive to honor You in all that we do.

We offer this prayer in the powerful and loving name of Christ Jesus.

Amen.
