Our Father in Heaven,  We thank you that you are our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. And for that reason Lord, we earnestly seek your healing power upon these two seriously wounded deputies.  We ask that you would grant the medical staff wisdom to effectively treat their injuries and restore them to full health.  May your peace, grace and mercy settle upon the families of these deputies and may You uphold them with Your Mighty Arms of Love.   We also lift up the Chitimacha Tribal Police Department who are mourning the tragic loss of a dear friend and colleague.  May your peace that passes all understanding settle upon the officers of the Chitimacha Tribal Police Departmentand especially the family members who are grieving this sudden loss.  We know you are the one who heals the brokenhearted and binds the wounds and therefore also ask for Your merciful touch to be upon the hearts and minds of the men and women of both the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Department and the Chitimacha Tribal Police Department.  May your Holy Spirit grant them strength and grace as they come together in the bonds of love supporting each other in this time of tragedy.  May you also be with all of the first responders, paramedics and medical personnel who were involved in treating these injured law enforcement officers.  May your Holy Spirit settle upon their mind and spirit and grant them peace in their hearts.  May you also touch the mind and spirit of every law enforcement officer involved in the incident and investigation and uphold them with your Holy Spirit.  May You, Lord, bring hope and encouragement to every law enforcement officer and family member.  May many be drawn to the Love of Jesus Christ where there is endless mercy and grace.  May many have an opportunity to come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
