Our Gracious Lord, We, again, come into Your Presence to lift up a wounded Syracuse Police Officer who was stabbed in the neck while on-duty. We are so grateful to You, Lord, that his life was spared and that the suspect was arrested after the officer was forced to fire his weapon at him. As this officers’ wounds are reported to not be life-threatening, we ask for Your grace, mercy and continued healing touch be upon his body and restore him to full health. May You grant the doctors and medical personnel wisdom to continue to effectively treat his injuries that will bring about a complete recovery. As we know the emotional trauma on this wounded officer’s near-death encounter can be overwhelming, may he sense Your amazing grace and mercy overwhelm his heart, and spirit with Your peace. May You also be with this wounded officer’s family and co-workers and grant them peace in their hearts and minds as they also cope with this near tragedy. May Your words bring comfort to those in need, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” As we know this incident can affect many others within the Syracuse Police Department, may Your supernatural Presence be with every officer and protect their minds and hearts from any mental and emotional repercussions caused by these life-threatening events. Grant the investigators wisdom and insight to continue this investigation and gather all of the facts. May the presence of your Holy Spirit be revealed to all of the Syracuse Police officers and allied law enforcement officers and if any do not know you personally, may they somehow have an opportunity to receive You into their hearts and obtain eternal life with You. May any officer struggling emotionally or spiritually know Your word says, “…call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”; and, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me…” This we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
