Lord Jesus, we, again, come boldly before Your Throne of Grace to lift up a wounded Tampa Police Officer into Your Healing Arms. As the news reports he is in stable condition, we ask You to give the doctors an extra measure of grace and wisdom as they diagnose and treat his wounds and bring about a full recovery. We are thankful that other officers engaged the suspect with gunfire who later surrendered uninjured. As this investigation continues, we ask You to give the investigators wisdom and insight to gather all of the facts surrounding this attempted murder on another one of Your Peacemakers. Lord, we ask You to pour out Your grace upon every member of the Tampa Police Department as they reflect on the near loss of one of their co-workers. May the men and women of the tamp Police Department and law enforcement officers everywhere rely on Your words of encouragement as follows, “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.” O’ Lord, as the week is beginning for law enforcement officers across America and the world, continue to be that “Rock, Fortress and Deliverer”, for every law enforcement officer in everything that they do. May You be with the family of this wounded Tampa officer as they are at the hospital with him right now. May they intimately know Your peace and grace in the midst of this near-death experience. Lord, may law enforcement officers remember to be strong in Your Power and put on the whole armor of God, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
