2 Timothy 2:22 NLT
Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a heartfelt plea for the well-being of Shelby County, Tennessee. Your Word guides us to flee from youthful lusts and to pursue righteous living, faith, love, and peace. We ask for Your help in following this path.
Lord, we pray especially for the youth of our community. Guide them away from temptations and harmful influences, and lead them towards a life of righteousness and purity. Instill in them the values of faith, love, and peace, that they may grow into wise and compassionate adults.
May our community be strengthened by a shared commitment to these virtues. Help us to work together, each contributing to a culture of faith, love, and peace. Encourage us to uplift and support each other in our individual and collective journeys towards righteousness.
We pray for our leaders and decision-makers. May they embody and promote righteousness, setting a positive example for all. Grant them wisdom and integrity as they guide our community.
We thank You, Father, for Your guidance and love. Lead us, protect us, and bless Shelby County as we strive to live according to Your will.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray.
Amen.
