Our Merciful Lord, We are thankful to You for sparing the life of a Richmond Police Officer who was intentionally struck by a vehicle.  As the news reports indicate he is in seriously condition, we ask You to continue to grant the doctors and entire medical staff wisdom to identity his many injuries and then effectively treat and restore this officer to full health. As this officer is recovering in the hospital, we ask You to pour out Your love, grace, mercy and peace upon his heart and mind and draw him ever so close to Your Side.  May your grace and mercies especially be with this officer’s family as they are at his side.  May your peace that transcends all understanding settle on their hearts and minds as they cope with this near loss.  May you be with the investigators and grant them wisdom and supernatural insight to be able to track down these street racing suspect(s) and bring them to justice. And should these suspects attempt to harm any more law enforcement officers, may You confuse their hearts and minds and cause their actions to be thwarted.  Finally Lord, May Your grace and comfort extend to the men and women of the Richmond Police Department and entire local law enforcement community and protect them with Your arms of love.  May many officers and colleagues of this injured officer be drawn to you, Lord, the only One who can and will provide them a peace that passes all understanding. May any officer who is distressed know Your word says, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”  May You, Lord, supply all of their needs according to Your Riches and Glory.  May You use this near-tragedy to draw many unto the love of Your Son and may many come to know You, Lord, in a real and personal way, this we ask in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
