Heavenly Father,

You are our light and our salvation, the one who dispels our fears and guides us with Your truth. You are our fortress, our place of safety and protection, standing strong against all that threatens us. You draw us close, comforting us with Your presence, and You teach us the way we should go, leading us on paths of righteousness.

We lift up Shelby County, Tennessee, to You, asking for Your light to shine brightly in every corner of our community. Remove the shadows of fear and uncertainty, and fill our hearts with courage and peace. Protect us from all harm, and let Your presence be a refuge for those who feel vulnerable or alone.

Guide our leaders and every one of us to make choices that reflect Your wisdom and love. Help us to live with integrity, seeking justice and peace in all we do. Teach us to wait patiently for Your timing and to trust in Your goodness, even when challenges arise.

Let Your mercy and goodness be evident in our community, creating an atmosphere of compassion and hope. May we be a people who reflect Your light, offering kindness and support to one another, and standing firm in the face of adversity.

In the precious name of Christ Jesus, we pray.

Amen.
