Bless us with the victory that comes from Your hand—the triumph over challenges that seem insurmountable, the overcoming of divisions that keep us apart, and the realization of dreams that build a better future for all in Shelby County. Let Your joy be our strength, uniting us in purpose and action.

Encourage us to see each other as You see us, cherished and loved, that we may extend this love to our neighbors, creating a community where compassion and support flourish. Guide our leaders with wisdom and insight, that their decisions may reflect Your love and lead us toward prosperity and well-being.

In every effort, in every plan, remind us that our success lies in our reliance on You and in our service to one another. May Shelby County be a testament to Your goodness, a place where Your delight in Your people is mirrored in how we care for each other.

We place our trust in You, confident in Your loving care and mighty to save. Lead us forward, Heavenly Father, into a future filled with hope, grounded in Your love.

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