1 Peter 5:6-7 NIV
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with humility, lifting up Shelby County, Tennessee in prayer. Your Word teaches us to humble ourselves under Your mighty hand, trusting in Your perfect timing and care.
Lord, we ask that You relieve the anxieties and burdens weighing on our community. Whether they stem from economic challenges, health concerns, or personal struggles, we lay them at Your feet. In Your compassion, bring comfort and peace to those who are troubled.
Guide our community in the path of humility. Help us to trust in Your strength rather than our own. In moments of uncertainty and difficulty, remind us of Your promise to lift us up in due time.
We pray for resilience and hope to flourish in Shelby County. May each individual and family experience the depth of Your care and love. Let our community be a testament to Your faithfulness and compassion.
