Our Father in Heaven, with heart of gratitude we come in before Your throne of grace to thank You for sparing the life of Officer Patrick Dahlgren who was shot during a traffic stop. We are so thankful that his wound was not serious and has been released from the hospital to be with his family. We are also so thankful the officers reacted to their training and instinct and were able to return fire where the suspect was wounded and taken into custody. As we know near-death incidents like these can and will affect these officers emotionally and spiritually, may Your amazing grace touch their lives and draw them ever so close to Your side where there is an abundance of mercy and peace. May these officers intimately experience Your grace, mercy, comfort, peace and healing power to be upon them as You hold them with Your arms of Love. May Your peace that passes all understanding touch the heart and mind of both officers and may Your Holy Spirit draw them close to Your side. May Your Presence be made ever so real to the men and women of the Louisville Police as they rally around their comrades and their families at this very emotional time. May Your abundant grace and mercies especially touch the family of Officer Dahlgren and may they intimately know and sense Your Presence with them. May they know it is You who will carry them through these times. Lord, we also ask for Your grace and wisdom to be bestowed upon investigators in order to determine the facts surrounding this attempted murder on one of Your peacemakers. May Your word as follows bring comfort to those in need, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” And, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” We also pray for every law enforcement officer, firefighter, paramedic, and the many other first responders who assisted at that scene. May your hands of grace, mercy and protection be with them at all times and grant them peace and grace. May you use this near death encounter to draw not only Officer Dahlgren close to Your Side, but also many other co-workers and family members as well. As Officer Dahlgren is recovering, may they and their families know that you are our King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Light of the World, Our Living Water, our Bread of Life, our Messiah and our God. May Your Holy Spirit settle upon the hearts of many and may they come to receive You in their hearts as Savior and Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
