Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in awe of Your generous nature, Your guidance and teaching, Your sustenance, and Your ability to promote growth and prosperity. You are the source of all blessing, wisdom, and strength, and we adore You for the care and guidance You extend to all Your creations.

We lift up Shelby County, TN, to You, asking for Your divine intervention in the lives of its residents. May Your spirit inspire us to seek joy and fulfillment in Your word, to meditate on Your teachings, and to apply Your wisdom in every aspect of our lives.

Bless this community to be like trees planted by streams of water, thriving and flourishing under Your care. Grant us prosperity in our endeavors, resilience in the face of challenges, and the ability to yield fruit that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.

Guide our leaders and all who hold positions of influence to make decisions grounded in Your truth. Let Your principles of righteousness, love, and compassion be the foundation upon which our community stands.

Strengthen us to avoid the path of the wicked, to turn away from sin, and to reject the company of mockers. Instead, draw us closer to each other and to You, fostering an environment where mutual respect, support, and kindness prevail.

In all things, may we remain rooted in You, drawing strength and nourishment from Your unending love. Let our community prosper, not just in material wealth, but in love, joy, peace, and spiritual vitality.

We entrust Shelby County to Your loving hands, confident in Your promise to sustain and bless us. Guide us, protect us, and lead us in paths of righteousness for Your name's sake.

We offer this prayer in the powerful name of Christ Jesus.

Amen.
