Our Father in Heaven, We again come into thy presence to lift up another one of Your servants, Officer John Warrington, who was seriously injured in the line of duty after being stabbed in the face.  Lord, as the news reports he has already been treated and released from the hospital, we are so grateful for Your hands of mercy to have been upon him and for sparing his life.  We ask You, Lord, to continue to be with the medical professionals and ask You to grant them wisdom and insight in order to continue to treat and heal his injuries and restore him to full health.  We know incidents like this can cause stress not only Officer Warrington, but upon his co-workers and especially his family.   So Lord, we ask for Your grace, peace, comfort, and mercy to be upon all of them and may You use this incident to draw many ever so close to Your side.  May Your grace be poured out upon Officer Warrington, his family and co-workers.  May You use this near-tragedy to cause many to search their hearts and seek You to fill that emptiness in their hearts—especially the suspect who attacked Officer Warrington.  May Your mercies and comfort also settle upon the entire Vineland Police Department.  Thank you, Lord, for sparing the life of Officer Warrington.  May Your Presence and amazing grace continue to touch his body and soul.   And if he does not know You personally, may he come to know You to be his Hope and Confidence and that You will always be a Strong Refuge and the Lifter of his soul.  May Your mercy, grace and peace touch the hearts of every Vineland officer.  May You, Lord, use this near-tragedy to bring many officers and family members not only close to You, but also close to each other.  May many be drawn unto Your side and be given an opportunity to personally receive Your Son as their Savior and Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
