Our Gracious Father, We come earnestly before Your Throne of Grace to again lift up another one of Your peacemakers wounded in the line of duty.  Lord, we are ever so grateful that the life of Officer Jacob Schwenk was spared and seek Your healing touch to be upon him.  May You provide him with the best possible medical care and may You also provide the correct specialists to be able to diagnose and treat his injuries and restore him to full health.  May Your mercies and grace extend to the many first responders and medical staff who were responsible for treating him.  May Your mercies and grace also extend to the many other co-workers and allied law enforcement agencies who responded to assist at this crime scene.  Most importantly Lord, we lift up the family members of Officer Schwenk and ask for Your grace and strength to settle upon their minds and hearts and provide them a peace that passes comprehension.  And as officer(s) had to use deadly force in which the suspect lost his life, we know traumatic incidents like these can cause short or long term emotional trauma.  We therefore ask for Your Holy Spirit to settle upon the heart of Officer Schwenk and any other officers affected and sustain them with Your mighty arms of love and Your amazing grace.  May You continue to grant the investigators supernatural wisdom and insight to effectively investigate all aspects of this investigation.  May You use this life threatening situation to cause many to reflect inwardly upon their hearts and souls.  If Officer Schwenk or any other officer does not know of Your unending love, may You draw them ever so close to Your Son in whom there is everlasting life.  May many come to receive Him as their Savior and Lord.  Continue to grant Your peace and grace to Officer Jacob Schwenk who faced mortality and survived.  May he know Your Word says, “Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.”  May Your love reign supreme in the hearts of many, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
