Colossians 3:15 NIV

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Heavenly Father,

We approach Your throne of grace, seeking Your peace for Shelby County, Tennessee. Lord, let the peace of Christ dwell richly in our hearts, guiding our actions and interactions within our community.

We pray for unity in our diversity, that we may function as one body, supporting and uplifting each other in love and kindness. In our differences, let us find strength and a deeper sense of community.

Instill in us a spirit of gratitude, Father. Help us to recognize and appreciate the many blessings You have given us, both as individuals and as a community.

May our words and deeds reflect Your love and peace, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding. Guide our leaders and all who serve in our community to make decisions that honor You and bring benefit to all.

We trust in Your providential care and thank You for Your unending faithfulness.

In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray.

Amen.
