Heavenly Father,
We praise and glorify Your name for Your power and authority over all things. You are the great and mighty King, who reigns over all the earth (1 Chronicles 29:11). Your strength and might are displayed throughout the heavens and the earth. Your right hand is glorious in power, shattering your enemies (Exodus15:6).
We come to You today, asking for Your help in the face of fear that grips our city. We pray for the strength and courage to stand strong in the face of violence and danger. We know that You have promised to be with us always, (Joshua 1:9), and You have given us a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7).
We trust in Your protection and provision, and ask that You would give us the courage and strength to face each day with hope and confidence in Your goodness and grace. We pray for peace and safety in our city, and for Your justice to prevail.
We pray for the protection of all the people living in Memphis and for your guidance for the authorities and law enforcement agencies to keep the city safe.
We trust in You, Lord, and we know that You are greater than any fear or danger. We give You all the glory and praise, now and forever. Amen.
