Our Merciful Lord, Our hearts are broken, O’ Lord, as we join with the Seaside Police Department in mourning the loss of one of their officers.  We therefore come boldly into Your Presence to lift the men and women of the Seaside Police Department and place them before Your Throne of Grace.  As we know this loss has deeply affected them, we ask for Your Arms of Loving kindness to supernaturally uphold them as You carry them through this time of loss.  As we know the family of this fallen officer is in deep mourning, we ask You to be their Rock, their Fortress and their Refuge right now and in the days ahead.  May Your Peace that passes all understanding be supernaturally revealed to the Seaside Police Department and the many family members and friends.  As the news reports indicate another Seaside officer had to use deadly force upon the suspect, we know this will affect this officer emotionally, physically and spiritually.  So Lord, may Your grace, love and peace continue to settle upon his minds, heart and spirit and draw him ever so close to Your Side. May Your continue to comfort the men and women of the Seaside Police Department and sustain them with Your arms of loving kindness.  As we know traumatic incidents like these can affect many, we ask Your Holy Spirit to settle upon the hearts and minds anyone who has been traumatized and preserve their mind, body and spirit in Your Arms of Love.  May they be kept from enduring any short-term or long-term emotional trauma.  May anyone struggling emotionally or spiritually know Your word says, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’”  In the coming days as a final farewell will be prepared for their fallen comrade, may You use this solemn ceremony to point anyone grieving unto the love of Your Son.  And as a result of this near-tragedy, may You raise up Godly officers and chaplains to reach out and point many to the Cross, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
