Praying for two seriously wounded/stabbed Lubbock County (TX) Sheriff’s deputies

Our Father in Heaven, We seek your mercy and healing touch to be upon these two deputies brutally attacked with a knife.  As the news reports indicate one of the deputy’s injuries is considered serious, we ask for Your grace and peace to be upon their physical bodies and uphold them with Your arms of Love.  May You raise up the correct medical specialists to diagnose and treat their injuries and bring about a full recovery without restriction.  May Your peace that passes all understanding touch the heart and mind of both deputies 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 Lubbock County Sheriff’s Department as they rally around their comrades and their families at this very emotional time.  May Your abundant grace and mercies especially touch the families of both officers and may they intimately know and sense Your Presence with them.  We are so thankful after an intensive manhunt; the suspect was arrested.  May these wounded peacemakers know it is You who will carry them through these uncertain times.  Lord, we also ask for Your grace and wisdom to be bestowed upon the investigators in order to determine the facts surrounding this attack.  We also pray for every law enforcement officer, firefighter, paramedics, and the many other first responders who assisted these injured deputies at that hectic scene.  May your hands of grace, mercy and protection be with them at all times and grant them peace and grace.  O’ God, may You prevent any other similar attacks from occurring upon any more of Your peacemakers.  May you use this incident to draw not only these injured deputies close to Your Side, but also many other co-workers and family members as well.  May Your words comfort them as follows, “I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”  As these officers are 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.
