Praying for a seriously wounded New Orleans (LA) Police Officer

Our Father in Heaven, we come boldly into Your Presence to seek Your mercies upon this wounded New Orleans police officer, the third New Orleans officer wounded this week. We are thankful to You Lord, for sparing his life as the news reports indicate he was wounded in the right arm.  As we come before Your Throne of Grace, we lift up this wounded officer into Your Arms of Grace. And as this officer is undergoing treatment at a local trauma center, we ask You to place Your healing hands upon this officer. May You fill the medical staff at this hospital with supernatural wisdom to guide them in identifying his wound and apply the correct remedy to bring about a full recovery. May you fill every medical doctor and nurse with Your Holy Spirit. O’ Lord, we are thankful to You that the position of a peace officer is a job created and ordained by You, for Your word says, “The policeman is sent by God to help you.” And Lord, we are so thankful for the thousands upon thousands of law enforcement officers across the U.S. and the world who regularly place themselves in harm’s way. As we know the many men and women of the New Orleans Police Department are deeply concerned for the welfare of their wounded comrade, may Your grace, mercy and comfort uphold them as You carry them through this emotional time. And as the family members of this wounded officer are at the hospital supporting their loved one, we ask You to wrap Your arms of love around each of them and draw them unto Your side. Hold them ever so tightly, Lord. May Your Holy Spirit touch the heart, mind and body of this wounded officer and may he sense Your Presence in his mind and heart right now as You carry him through this ordeal. And if this wounded officer does not know the love of your Son in whom there is everlasting life and forgiveness of sin, may You raise up chaplains and other Godly officers to share Your love with this officer.  May You grant the investigators wisdom to gather the facts in this incident in which the suspect has been arrested.  May You comfort many with Your words, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” And, “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” May Your Holy Spirit come along side every member of the New Orleans Police Department as we know they have been deeply emotionally and spiritually affected. O’ Lord, may You raise up Godly officers and chaplains to be a representative of Your Light to those with hurting hearts. May You continue to pour out Your grace on this wounded officer and draw him unto Your side. May these words bring comfort to many, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”; this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
