Prayer Inspired by Psalm 11
Heavenly Father,
You are our steadfast protector and the righteous judge who watches over all. From Your holy temple, You rule with vigilance and love justice. In Your eyes, no deed, good or evil, goes unseen, and You safeguard those who seek righteousness.
We come to You on behalf of Shelby County, Tennessee, asking for Your divine protection and justice to prevail in every corner of our community. In times when the foundations seem unsteady and the future uncertain, remind us that You are ever-present, ruling with fairness and wisdom.
Strengthen our resolve to trust in Your protection and to live according to Your statutes. Inspire our leaders and citizens alike to uphold justice and pursue peace. May Your loving oversight guide us in creating a community where safety and prosperity are accessible to all.
Pour out Your mercy on those who suffer and feel helpless. Let them find refuge in You and see Your justice manifest in their lives. Raise up advocates and leaders among us who will fight for equity and honor Your name through their deeds.
May our community reflect Your love for justice, becoming a place where righteousness dwells and evil finds no foothold. Protect the innocent, uplift the downtrodden, and heal the brokenhearted among us.
We place our hope and trust in You, confident that under Your rule, Shelby County can flourish and embody the peace and prosperity You desire for Your children.
In the name of Christ Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
