Prayer Inspired by Psalm 7
Heavenly Father,
You are our protector and righteous judge, sovereign over all nations. You rule with justice and defend the innocent with unfailing love. Your eyes see the truth in our hearts, and You bring light to the darkness. We trust in Your honest judgment and Your shield of protection.
We come before You, lifting up Shelby County, Tennessee. Pour out Your peace and prosperity upon our community. Guard us from those who seek to do harm and lead us in paths of righteousness. May Your justice prevail in our courts, our schools, and our streets, bringing safety and security to all who dwell here.
Strengthen our hearts to seek Your righteousness. Encourage us to live in truth and integrity, reflecting Your love and fairness in our actions. Protect the vulnerable among us, and provide relief to those who are oppressed or afraid.
We pray for transformation within our community. Inspire those who have strayed from Your ways to turn back to You with repentant hearts. Let Your love lead them to renewal and change, promoting a society where peace overcomes strife and love conquers lawlessness.
Fill Shelby County with Your spirit of unity and brotherhood. Let all who live here experience the joy of Your presence and the comfort of Your protection. May we celebrate Your justice and sing praises to Your name, drawing closer to You each day.
We place all our hopes and our fears in Your mighty hands, trusting that You will guide us toward a future filled with peace and prosperity.
In the name of Christ Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
