• Memphis City Council: May 12, 2026 7:32

  Let us pray. We lift up the city of Memphis before you, oh God, today. Cover our city with your peace, your protection, wisdom, and grace. Let hope rise and revive in every neighborhood. Heal and flow through every community, and unity prevail among all of your people. God, strengthen families, uplift businesses, protect our youth, and let your light shine in places of struggle and uncertainty. Lord, we pray for every member of our city council led by CH councilwoman Janice Swarage in Washington. God, we pray for our mayor, the honorable Paul Young, and every leader who is entrusted to serve our city. God grant them wisdom to make righteous decisions, courage to lead with integrity, compassion for the people, and discernment in every matter that affects our communities. Let their leadership be guided by justice, humility, and a sincere desire to serve for the greater good. God, we also pause to honor and pray for our teachers. God, we thank you for the calling that you have placed upon their lives. Strengthen them when they are weary. Encourage them [clears throat] when challenges arise. And remind them that the seeds that they plant daily are shaping the future for generations. God, give them patience, creativity, protection, and renewed passion for the work that they do. Now God, we thank you for this gathering of council members and citizens of Memphis on today. Thank you for allowing us to come together in unity, purpose, and service for the betterment of this great city. We thank you for every voice represented, every heart committed to progress, and every hand willing to do the work of our community. We seal this prayer whether it is well and it is done in Jesus' name. Amen.
