Our Loving Father, We come before Your Throne of Grace, Lord, to seek Your mercy and comfort to be upon a critically injured Jacksonville Police Officer who was struck by a vehicle. We are so thankful to You Lord for sparing his life yet we seek Your divine touch. As he has already been taken to a hospital, we ask You to grant the doctors and entire medical staff continued wisdom to quickly identify his injuries and then apply the correct treatment to restore him to full health. May Your amazing grace, peace and healing touch settle upon him and draw him ever so close to Your Side. May your grace and mercies especially be with his family as they have rushed to be at his side at the hospital. May your peace that transcends all understanding settle upon their hearts and minds as You carry them through this time of uncertainty. May they deeply and intimately sense Your love, grace, peace, mercy, comfort and Presence right now. May you be with the men and women of the Jacksonville Police Department and especially those colleagues close to him and uphold them with your peace and grace. May You also be with those investigating this horrific collision and grant them wisdom and insight to help with the overall investigation. May Your love, mercy and grace be upon the first responders, paramedics and fire fighters who initially responded to treat this officer. May Your grace and merciful touch Lord, be upon the countless law enforcement officers who willingly place themselves in harm’s way every day. So Lord, we want to continually bring every one of these officers unto your mercy seat and ask for your protecting hand to be upon them wherever they travel. May you protect them as they drive at high speeds or go in pursuit of violators and other criminals. And even as they are on routine patrol, may your mercies extend to them wherever they travel and whatever they do. May the many members of the Jacksonville Police Department know how much they are loved by YOU and that Your word says that how blessed is the man (or woman) who takes refuge in the Lord. May many friends and colleagues of this injured officer be drawn to you Lord—the only One who can and will provide them a peace that passes all understanding. May Your word bring comfort to those in need as follow, “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.” Lord, may You raise up Godly officers and chaplains to express Your Hope and grace at this very difficult time. Lastly Lord, may many come to know You in a real and personal way, this we ask in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
