1 Corinthians 2:13 NLT

When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths.

Heavenly Father,

In Your wisdom, You guide us and in Your kindness, You nurture us. Through Your Spirit, You’ve shown us the profound impact of living by Your truths. We bring before You the community of Shelby County, seeking Your blessings of insight, unity, and growth.

Grant us, Father, the clarity to see Your hand at work in our daily lives and the courage to follow where You lead. Infuse our leaders with Your wisdom, that their decisions may reflect Your love and justice, creating a Shelby County that shines with Your light.

Inspire us to weave Your truths into the fabric of our community, nurturing a place where compassion and kindness are the cornerstones of every interaction. May Your presence be our guiding light, leading us to actions that unite and uplift.

Encourage us, Lord, to build bridges where there are divides, to offer support where there is need, and to extend forgiveness where there is hurt. Let Shelby County be a testament to the transformative power of living in Your grace.

In every endeavor, may we seek Your guidance and celebrate every triumph as a reflection of Your goodness. Keep us humble in success and steadfast in challenges, always mindful of Your enduring love and grace.

In the name of Christ Jesus, who lights our way and gives us hope,

Amen.
