Our Father in Heaven, we join with the men and women of the North Carolina Highway Patrol as they are mourning and grieving every so greatly at this tragic loss of Trooper Bullard from an on-duty collision. O’ Lord, we ask You to reveal Your love and comfort to them by the presence and power of Your Holy Spirit. May they intimately sense and know Your love, grace, peace, mercy, Presence and comfort carrying them through this very difficult time of loss. And as Trooper Bullard’s family are in shock and mourning, may Your Holy Spirit be with them and carry them through this horrific loss of their loved one. As this collision was not witnessed, may You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to determine the facts as to how this collision occurred. May Your words as follow comfort those in need right now, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Ex. 33:14; “The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” Ps. 15:18; “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.“ Heb. 4:16 O’ Lord, in the coming week as the men and women of the North Carolina Highway Patrol begin to make preparations for final farewell for Trooper Bullard, may Your grace and comfort carry them at every moment. And as many will be attending his final farewell service, may Your name be glorified and may many law enforcement officers who have strayed from Your path be drawn ever so close to You, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
