Our Gracious Lord, We come in earnest into Your awesome presence to lift up a seriously wounded Bingham County Sheriff’s deputy wounded in the line of duty. As the news report indicates he has already undergone surgery, it is You Lord that we ask to touch his entire body and bring about a complete healing. May You provide the best medical care for this deputy and may continue to raise up the right medical specialists to effectively diagnose and to continue to properly treat his injuries. May Your mercies and presence especially touch the family and friends of this deputy and draw them ever so close to Your side where they may sense Your grace and comfort. May Your peace, grace, comfort and love encircle the men and women of the Bingham County Sheriff’s Department and allied law enforcement agencies as they rally around their injured friend and co-worker. We ask You to give the investigators wisdom to gather all of the facts in this deadly encounter with this suspect who was later arrested. May Your grace, peace, mercy and comfort be with this deputy’s family at this very difficult time of uncertainty. As we know Your Word says “My ways are not our ways, neither are my thoughts you thoughts”, we pray for Your supernatural intervention in this entire situation and ask that You would touch Your wounded servant. May Your Holy Spirit speak to the heart and soul of this injured deputy and fill him with Your peace and grace. And if he does not know You as Savior and Lord, may You provide him an opportunity to receive You into his heart to receive eternal life. May every deputy, friend and family member know that they can perpetually cast all their cares upon You because You intimately love and care for them unconditionally. May You raise up chaplains and Godly officers to be available to support the men and women of the Bingham County Sheriff’s Department. May You use this near-tragedy to draw many unto Your Son, the Author of Life. May many recognize their need to receive Your Son into their hearts and receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. May You, Lord, continue to provide the best medical care and bring about a full healing for this deputy for we know Your word says You will never leave us nor forsake us. May anyone struggling be encouraged by Your word as follows, “The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”, This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
