Our Merciful Lord, We are thankful to You for sparing the life of a Suffolk County Police Officer who was intentionally stabbed in the face by a suspect.  As the news reports indicate he sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries and would require facial surgery, we ask You to continue to grant the doctors and entire medical staff wisdom to effectively treat and restore this officer to full health. May You provide this officer with the best facial surgeon possible to restore him to complete health.  As this officer’s partner had to use deadly force in which the suspect was wounded, we ask You to pour out Your grace and mercy upon the heart and mind of this second officer and draw him ever so close to Your Side.  May your grace and mercies especially be with the families of both officers and may your peace that transcends all understanding settle on their hearts and minds as they support their loved ones through this near-death encounter.  May you also be with the investigators and grant them wisdom and supernatural insight to be able to gather all of the facts and details surrounding this attack upon one of Your peacemakers. And as the suspect is also being treated at a hospital for his wound, may Your Holy Spirit speak to his heart and draw him close to Your Side.  Finally Lord, May Your grace and comfort extend to the men and women of the Suffolk County Police Department and entire local law enforcement community and protect them with Your arms of love.  May many officers 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 You use this near-tragedy to draw many unto the love of Your Son and may many come to know You, Lord, as their personal Savior and Lord, this we ask in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
