City - Wide Prayer of Peace

PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE IN TIME OF NECESSITY Lord, you have told us, I shall walk through dark valleys, I fear no harm for you are at my side. Your rod and staff shall give me courage. No evil shall befall me, No weakness in my stride. God wills not my foot to slip or my guardian to sleep. He guides me from all evil, The Lord is my guardian, The Lord the shade I keep, By day the sun cannot harm me or the moon by night. Be with us, Lord to deliver from fear or sadness and to see your glory. For the Lord said, 'Do not let your hearts be troubled, Have faith in God and also in me.' If the Lord is with us, Who can be against us? Bless our city, our families, our homes, and our civil servants with your abiding peace and protection. Amen"
