Our Gracious Lord, unto You, we come with hearts of thanksgiving and praise to thank You for sparing the life of another one of Your peacemakers—this time in Jacksonville Beach. We ask You to continue to bless the medical staff with supernatural wisdom and insight to be able to diagnose and treat the wounds of this officer and allow for a full recovery. As we know this life-threatening incident affected not only this wounded officer, but many other law enforcement officers and first responders, we seek Your grace and peace to settle upon their hearts and minds and may You draw them ever so close to Your side for comfort. May Your peace that passes all understanding especially touch this wounded officer and fill him with Your peace and comfort. May all of these officers involved in that incident intimately know the task that they performed today, as difficult as it may have been, was a task sanctioned and authorized by YOU, the God of the Universe. Lord, may Your grace touch these officers hearts and souls to know that as they had to use their weapons, they were acting as your servants of righteousness for good and that only those bent on evil need to fear them. So Lord, we also seek Your amazing grace to also touch the family of this wounded officer as they love and support him through this very emotional time. We also seek Your comfort upon the men and women of the Jacksonville Beach Police Department as they rally around their injured comrade. Lord, as this appears to have been another ambush attempt, may Your Holy Spirit intervene upon anyone in America and abroad who may, right now, be planning or attempting to harm any of Your peacemakers and stop any life-threatening actions against them. May You fill every law enforcement officer with supernatural wisdom and insight to remain vigilant and safe and to always use sound tactics. May You raise up citizens to additionally come to the aid of any law enforcement officer in need and keep them safe from all harm. Finally Lord, may You reveal Your love to any Jacksonville Beach Police officer or family member who does not know Your love and may they have an opportunity to receive Him for the forgiveness of sins. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
