Prayer Inspired by Psalm 31

Heavenly Father,

You are our rock and fortress, our faithful protector who shields us from harm. Your unfailing love is our comfort, and Your goodness surrounds us. We praise You for being our refuge in times of trouble and our guide through every challenge.

We lift up Shelby County, Tennessee, to You, asking for Your protection over every person and family. Keep us safe from harm, and lead us out of danger with Your strong hand. Let Your compassion bring healing to those who are hurting, and may Your love restore hope and joy to our community.

Grant us the strength and courage to face each day with confidence, knowing that our future is in Your hands. Help us to act with integrity and justice, reflecting Your character in all we do. Let Your blessings flow throughout Shelby County, bringing prosperity and peace to our neighborhoods.

May we be a community that finds shelter in Your presence, where kindness and generosity thrive. Guide our leaders with wisdom, and help us all to work together for the good of everyone. We trust in Your goodness and rejoice in Your unfailing love.

In the precious name of Christ Jesus, we pray.

Amen.
