But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don’t take yourself too seriously—take God seriously.

Heavenly Father,

You have clearly shown us the way to live—a life marked by justice, compassion, and humility. Your love guides us to treat each other fairly, to embrace loyalty in our relationships, and to live in a way that reflects Your character. Today, we stand together, praying for the prosperity and well-being of Shelby County, Tennessee.

We ask, Lord, that You infuse our community with a spirit of justice. May our leaders and citizens alike strive for fairness in all things, ensuring that every resident is treated with equity and respect. Empower us to dismantle barriers of inequality, to uplift the marginalized, and to create an environment where justice prevails.

Fill our hearts with compassion, that we might be a community known for its loving kindness. Inspire us to support one another, especially the vulnerable and the needy, reflecting Your love in our actions and decisions. May our compassion be a beacon of hope, drawing people together in mutual support and understanding.

Grant us humility, reminding us to take You seriously and not ourselves. Let this humility guide our interactions and priorities, fostering a community where people value each other above personal gain. May our lives be a testament to the values You cherish, centered on serving You and serving each other.

Bless Shelby County with prosperity—not just material wealth, but the richness of community spirit, the wealth of mutual respect, and the treasure of shared purpose. Guide us as we work together to build a community that honors You in every aspect.

We place all our hopes for Shelby County into Your loving hands, trusting in Your provision, protection, and guidance. Lead us forward in unity and purpose, for the flourishing of our community and the glory of Your name.

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

Amen.
