Luke 12:6-7 NLT
What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
Heavenly Father,
You watch over each of us with infinite care and compassion, valuing us more than we can comprehend. Your attentiveness to every detail of our lives, down to the very hairs on our heads, fills us with awe and gratitude. Today, we lift up Shelby County, Tennessee, to Your loving kindness, praying for its prosperity and well-being.
We pray for a deep sense of community within Shelby County, inspired by Your example of care for each individual. May every person feel valued and cherished, not only by You but by their neighbors, creating a network of support and compassion across the county.
Empower us to extend Your love and reassurance to those around us, especially to those who feel overlooked or undervalued. Let us be instruments of Your peace, bringing comfort to the anxious and strength to the weary, reminding them of their worth in Your eyes.
Stir in us a desire to look after one another with the same attentiveness You show us. May our actions reflect Your love, building a stronger, more united community where everyone thrives.
Bless Shelby County with prosperity, not just in material wealth, but in love, joy, and peace. Guide our leaders, protect our homes, and nurture our communities, that all may experience the fullness of life You offer.
We place all our hopes and dreams for Shelby County in Your capable hands, trusting in Your plan for our prosperity and well-being. Lead us in paths of righteousness for Your name's sake.
We offer this prayer in the precious name of Christ Jesus.
Amen.
