Heavenly Father,

You are attentive to our cries and responsive to our needs, even when we feel forgotten. Your unfailing love sustains us, and Your goodness is our constant refuge. You restore joy to our hearts and rescue us from despair, proving time and again that Your love never fails.

We come to You on behalf of Shelby County, Tennessee, asking for Your divine intervention in our community. Pour out Your spirit of peace and restoration across every neighborhood and every heart. Where there is sorrow, bring joy; where there is turmoil, bring peace; and where there is weakness, bring strength.

Empower us to support one another with the compassion and care You show us. Guide our leaders with wisdom and justice, and inspire all who live and work in Shelby County to seek Your truth and walk in Your ways. May we be a community that reflects Your love and lives out Your goodness.

Protect us from the forces that seek to divide and harm us. Let Your justice prevail in our streets and Your peace reign in our homes. Raise us up as a testament to Your mercy, a place where the oppressed find refuge and the weary find hope.

We trust in You to heal and prosper our community, for You are good, and Your merciful love endures forever.

In the precious name of Christ Jesus, we pray.

Amen.
