O’ Lord, Your word says, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”  So Lord, we come with boldness and urgency before Your Throne of Grace to lift up this critically wounded Merced County Sheriff’s Deputy.  We seek Your mercy and healing power to descend upon his mind, body and spirit as he is being treated at a trauma center for these gunshot wound(s).  May Your Will be done.  May You grant the doctor’s and medical specialists with supernatural wisdom to quickly and accurately diagnose and identify all trauma and apply the correct medical treatment.  May You endow all medical professionals with supernatural insight and guide their every decision and treatment.  May Your Holy Spirit speak to the heart of this wounded deputy and draw him ever so close to the love of Your Son.  And if he does not know You, may You reveal Your Son in his heart and spirit and allow him to receive Him into his heart.  O’ Lord, may Your amazing grace, peace and comfort touch this deputy’s family as they rally around him at the hospital.  We especially seek Your grace, comfort, love, peace and Presence to surround the men and women of the Merced County Sheriff’s Department as they come together to support each other at this difficult time.  No matter what, Lord, we place our Trust in Your Grace as You are our Rock, Fortress and deliver—an ever-present help at all times.   As this wounded Deputy family and co-workers gather to support each other, may You wrap Your arms around them and draw them together in the comfort of Your Holy Spirit.  May You heal Your wounded peacemaker-servant and may Your Peace that passes all understanding fill the hearts of many.  May You raise up Godly officers, Chaplains and friends to share the love of Jesus to many.  Continue to draw many unto the love of Your Son in whom there is forgiveness and everlasting life, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
