O’ Merciful Lord, it with a deep sense of urgency we come boldly into Your Presence to lift up a critically wounded Linn County Sheriff’s Deputy into Your loving arms. We seek Your presence, grace and healing power to immediately settle upon this wounded deputy right now. O’ Lord, You alone are our Rock and our Fortress and our ever-present help in times of trouble, and we, therefore, earnestly come before your Throne of Grace to ask You to spare the life of this wounded deputy. As he has been taken to a trauma center, may You continue to have in place the needed medical specialists and doctors to continue to diagnose his wounds and apply the correct surgical treatment and medications to save this peacemaker. As we know the family of this deputy very likely in deep distress, we seek Your amazing grace to sustain them through this very difficult time of uncertainty. Lord, may your sustaining grace, peace and mercy touch the hearts and souls of the men and women of the Linn County Sheriff’s department as they rally to support their law enforcement family. Continue to pour out Your wisdom on the medical staff to save the life of this wounded servant. As the suspect fled after a pursuit and a massive manhunt is under way, may You grant the investigators wisdom to contain the suspect. May You fill them with wisdom to use their skills and training to locate and take the suspect into custody. May You naturally and supernaturally protect every law enforcement officer involved in the search. May You especially cause the suspect to a trail in order to be found. And if the suspect tries to use his weapon, may You cause his weapon to misfire or malfunction. May You, Lord, case the suspect to be fatigued and unable to make clear decisions. May he be unable to sleep. May You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to piece together the facts of this incident. May Your words, Lord, as follows speak to the hearts of so many in need of Your Touch, “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.” ; and “Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.” And, “The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” So, Lord, raise up chaplains and other Christian officers to bring comfort to all. May many know and intimately experience grace and mercy. O’ Lord, grant Your Amazing Grace to your wounded deputy. If this wounded deputy does not know You, may Your Holy Spirit speak to his heart and reveal Your love to him. O Lord, spare the life of Your servant, this we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
