Our Loving Father, We come before Your Throne of Grace, Lord, to seek Your mercy and comfort to be upon two NYPD officers and a Colorado State University Police Officer who were both injured in on-duty accidents caused by suspects. We are so thankful to You Lord for sparing their lives. As the news reports their injuries are not life-threatening, we ask You to grant the doctors and entire medical staff wisdom to quickly identify their injuries and then apply the correct treatment to restore them to full health. May Your amazing grace, peace and healing touch settle upon the hearts and minds of these officers and draw them ever so close to Your Side. May your grace and mercies especially be with the families of these officers as they are at their sides. May your peace that transcends all understanding settle on their hearts and minds as You carry them through this time of uncertainty. May you be with the men and women of the NYPD and Colorado State University Police Department and especially those colleagues close to them and uphold them with your peace and grace. May You also be with those investigating these incidents and grant them wisdom and insight to help with the overall investigation. Lord, every day, thousands of law enforcement officers drive police cruisers and motorcycles and are constantly in harm’s way. So Lord, we want to continually bring every one of these officers unto your mercy seat and ask for your protecting hand to be upon them wherever they travel. May you continually protect them as they drive at high speeds or go in pursuit of violators and other criminals. And even as they are on routine patrol, may your mercies extend to them wherever they travel and whatever they do. May many members of the NYPD and Colorado State University Police Department know how much they are loved by YOU and that Your word says that how blessed is the man (or woman) who takes refuge in the Lord. May many friends and colleagues of these injured peacemakers be drawn to you Lord—the only One who can and will provide them a peace that passes all understanding. Lord, may You raise up Godly officers and chaplains to express to many Your Hope and grace at this very difficult time. Lastly Lord, may many come to know You in a real and personal way, this we ask in the precious name of Jesus, Amen. |
