Psalm 118:5-6 NLT

In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today on behalf of Shelby County, Tennessee. In moments of distress and uncertainty, we turn to You, trusting in Your unfailing love and power. Lord, hear our prayers and set our community free from the challenges we face.

God, You are our strength and shield. We ask for Your protection over every individual, every family, and every neighborhood in Shelby County. In the face of fear and adversity, fill our hearts with Your courage and peace. May Your presence be a constant reminder that we are never alone or powerless.

We pray for wisdom and guidance. Lead our leaders and decision-makers with Your light. In every action and decision, may Your will be done, bringing about justice, prosperity, and harmony in our community.

Strengthen us, Father, to be agents of Your love and peace. Help us to support and uplift one another, reflecting Your grace in our words and deeds. In times of difficulty, may Your spirit of resilience and hope be alive in us.

We trust in Your sovereign power, knowing that You are with us. With hearts full of faith, we place all our concerns and aspirations in Your hands.

We pray all these in the name of our Savior and Lord, Christ Jesus.

Amen.
