Prayer Inspired by Psalm 22
Heavenly Father,
You are holy and compassionate, a true refuge for those in distress. Your faithfulness has been proven through generations, and Your power to save is unmatched. You hear the cries of the needy, and You do not ignore their suffering.
We come before You today on behalf of Shelby County, Tennessee, seeking Your divine intervention and blessing. May Your presence fill our community, bringing healing where there is hurt and unity where there is division. Protect those who feel vulnerable, and give strength to those who are weary.
Empower us to support one another in love, following Your example of compassion and attentive care. Help us to build a community that reflects Your justice and mercy, where everyone can feel safe and valued. Provide our leaders with wisdom to make decisions that will foster peace and prosperity for all.
As we face challenges, remind us that You are with us, providing the strength we need to overcome. May we always turn to You in times of need, trusting in Your ability to rescue and deliver.
We thank You for Your unfailing love and pray that our community will experience the joy of Your presence. May we live in a way that honors You, and may our actions speak of Your goodness.
In the precious name of Christ Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
