This is what I prayed at last night's City Council meeting in Enterprise, AL.
O Lord God and our Heavenly Father,
You rule over all your creation and your dominion is from everlasting to everlasting. We thank you for the grace you give all our city leaders as they seek to preserve truth, justice and common decency in our lives and community. In you, O God, we must find what we cannot do ourselves. In your truth, we see truth, in your wisdom we gain judgment, in your mercy, we find compassion.
Grant wisdom and understanding to this council tonight, and to Major Boswell in their responsibilities to serve Enterprise. Move in the hearts of our citizens to respect their guidance and our laws. Give our police and law enforcement strength and comfort that they serve you in protecting and serving us.
May the decline of our culture and social fabric seen in so many places, not take hold of us. Preserve us and keep us for the sake of future generations.
Habakkuk 2:14 (ESV)
For the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
To you be all glory and thanksgiving, in Jesus Name. Amen.
