O’ Merciful Lord, it with a deep sense of urgency we come boldly into Your Presence to lift up a critically wounded Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy into Your loving arms. As details are minimal, we seek Your presence, grace and healing power to immediately settle upon this wounded deputy right now. O’ Lord, You alone are our Rock and our Fortress and our ever-present help in times of trouble, and we, therefore, earnestly come before your Throne of Grace to ask You to spare the life of this wounded deputy. As he has been taken to a trauma center, may You already have in place the needed medical specialists and doctors to quickly diagnose his wounds and apply the correct surgical treatment and medications to save this peacemaker. As we know the family of this deputy is probably just being notified and are in deep distress, we seek Your amazing grace to sustain them through this very difficult time of uncertainty. Lord, may your sustaining grace, peace and mercy touch the hearts and souls of the men and women of the Boone County Sheriff’s department as they rally to support their law enforcement family. Continue to pour out Your wisdom on the medical staff to save the life of this wounded servant. As this incident is still fluid, may You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to piece together the facts of this incident. As the news reports the suspect was shot and his condition is unknown, may Your Holy Spirit intervene and touch the lives of all involved. May Your words as follows speak to the hearts of so many, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ; and “Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.” So Lord, raise up chaplains and other Christian officers to bring comfort to all. May many know and intimately experience grace and mercy. O’ Lord, grant Your Amazing Grace to your wounded deputy. O Lord, spare the life of Your servant, this we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
