Our Father in Heaven, On this New years Day morning. we come into Your Presence Lord to lift up Officer Stephen Magnes and place him into Your loving care.  We are so thankful that his life was spared as he was wearing his Kevlar vest and that he is in stable condition.  Lord, we ask you to continue to guide the hands of the doctors so that they may render the correct medical care and allow him to be restored to complete health.  May Your grace especially touch the family of Officer Stephen Magnes and draw them ever so close to Your side.  May he and his family sense Your presence with them right now carrying them through this very emotional time.  As the news reports indicate the suspect has been arrested, May Your peace, love, mercy and comfort especially settle upon the hearts and souls all law enforcement officers who were involved in this incident.  As we know life-threatening encounters like this can affect co-workers just as much as the injured officer, we ask for your grace, peace, mercies and comfort to settle upon every law enforcement officer who was involved in that incident and may they experience your amazing presence in their hearts. May every officer be drawn to You where they can experience Your abundant peace.  And as for Officer Stephen Magnes and those co-workers who may have been very deeply affected emotionally, may they intimately know they can always cast theirs cares upon you for we know You care for them.  May you prevent any of them from experiencing any long-term emotional trauma.  As we know the men and women and family members of the Calvert Police Department experience a great amount of despair and trauma, we seek Your grace to touch the hearts and minds of every officer and family member.  May they all be drawn to Your Side where they may see and known the supremeness of Your Love and Peace.  Most importantly Lord, may You reveal the Love of Your Son to many and may they know that now is the day of salvation on this New Years Day.  May Your Holy Spirit touch many lives, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
