O’ Lord, We are so grateful for Your wonderful mercies upon this wounded officer and are so thankful that You spared his life.  As the news reports he is in stable condition with a leg wound, we ask you to grant the doctor’s wisdom and insight to accurately diagnose and treat his wound.  We, therefore, lift up this officer before Your Throne of Grace and ask You to wrap Your loving arms around him as he recovers from this near-death experience.  May Your peace that passes all understanding sustain this officer and may he be drawn ever close to Your side for the continuing comfort of Your Holy Spirit.  May Your mercy, grace, love and everlasting comfort also settle upon the family of this officer and may Your grace additionally touch every member of the Mobile Police Department as they rally around to support their wounded comrade and his family.  As this incident was determined to likely be accidental, may You use this life threatening incident as a reminder and training aid to law enforcement officers across America and the world to forever be vigilant in everything they do and may they never become complaisant.  Lastly Lord, even though this incident was probably accidental, may every Mobile officer know that You ordained their job as a peacemaker to protect and serve their community wherever they may be.  And through this near-death encounter, may many law enforcement officers come to recognize their need to draw near to You for You will then draw near to them.  May many come to receive Your forgiveness and receive Your Son as their Savior and Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
