Our Father in Heaven, we come into Your Presence, O’ Lord with hearts of praise and gratitude unto You for sparing the life of Warsaw Police Chief Jason Wenberg who was shot in the chest and was saved because of his Kevlar vest. As we know there will still be some pain and emotional trauma that he must deal with, Lord, we ask for Your continued healing touch to be upon him and ask you to provide for a full and complete recovery. More importantly, Lord, we ask for Your amazing grace to settle upon the heart and mind of Chief Wenberg as he must deal with the emotional reality of this life-threatening event. May Your grace and your presence touch his heart and mind. May Your mercy and grace be with the members of the local law enforcement community as we know it can affect others as well. May Your peace that passes all understanding especially touch Chief Wenberg ‘s family as they rally around their loved one and support him from this near death experience. Lord, may You use this near tragedy to draw many unto Your side to intimately experience the joy provided by Your Son. And if Chief Wenberg or any other co-worker or family member does not know Your love and forgiveness, may Your Holy Spirit cause many to examine their hearts and draw them to the Love of Your Son. Lord, we ask You to provide the investigators with wisdom and insight to piece together facts of this shooting in which the suspect was shot and is in serious condition. As a result of this near-death encounter, may You draw many officers and family members to Your side and may many come to receive You as their Savior and Lord. May Your mercies and peace rest upon the many other first responders and medical personnel who aided in saving the life of this wounded warrior. May Your words as follows come alive in the hearts of many law enforcement officers, “Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.” (Ps. 144:1-2) This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
