Our Father in Heaven,  on the beginning of the first week of 2016, we thank you that you are our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. And for that reason Lord, we thank YOU for sparing the life of not only this wounded police officer but every other officer who was at that scene.  As the news reports the officer was shot in the ankle, we ask that you would continue to grant the medical staff wisdom to effectively treat his injuries and restore him to full health.  May your peace, grace and mercy settle upon the family of this injured officer and may You uphold them with Your Mighty Arms of Love.   We also lift up the entire Charlotte-Mecklenburg (NC) Police  Department as they rally around and support their injured colleague.  As the news reports indicate officers were forced to return fire and a suspect died, we know incidents like these can be emotionally traumatic to them.  We therefore seek your peace that passes all understanding settle upon them and sustain them with Your Presence and grace.  We know you are the one who heals the brokenhearted and binds the wounds and therefore also ask for Your merciful touch to be upon the hearts and minds of the officers, their families and the entire police department.  May your Holy Spirit grant them strength and grace as they come together in the bonds of love supporting each other at this emotional time.  May you also be with all of the first responders, paramedics and medical personnel who were involved in treating this injured law enforcement officers.  May your Holy Spirit settle upon their mind and spirit and grant them peace in their hearts.  May you continue to touch the mind and spirit of every law enforcement officer involved in that incident and investigation and uphold them with your Holy Spirit.  May You, Lord, bring hope and encouragement to every law enforcement officer and family member.  May many be drawn to the Love of Jesus Christ where there is endless mercy and grace.  May many have an opportunity to come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
