Our Father in Heaven, Your word says, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” And that’s what we pray for the men and women of the Gwinnett County Police Department as they cope with the tragic loss of Officer Antwan Toney. O Lord, as we come boldly before Your Throne of Grace, we ask for Your Holy Spirit to be poured out upon the many co-workers and friends of Officer Toney. At a time of loss like this, as we know the pain is ever so great in their hearts, may the presence of Your Holy Spirit touch the many hearts in need of Your grace, mercy, presence peace and comfort. Lord, we especially lift up Officer Toney’s family who are in obvious shock and mourning ever so greatly at this horrific loss. As the suspect is on the run, may You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to quickly track this suspect and take him into custody. And if this suspect might try to harm any more peacemakers, may You cause his weapon to misfire or malfunction. May You cause this suspect to be filled with guilt and may You cause him to be unable to rest or sleep until he has been captured. May Your angels and Your presence supernaturally protect every law enforcement officer involved in that search for the suspect. May You cause him to be spotted by a citizen and his position reported to authorities. So. Lord, as this search is still fluid, we know it is only by Your amazing grace, presence, comfort and love that will carry every peace officer through this very difficult time of transition. May those within the Gwinnett County Police Department who are grieving and mourning know your word says they can, “Cast all [their] anxieties on You, because [You] care for [them].”;And that “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.” Lord, as we know traumatic events like these can cause emotional trauma for years to come, we ask for Your Grace to intervene in those deeply troubled and replace their grief with Your everlasting comfort and joy. May You use this tragedy to draw many officers and family members ever so close to Your side. As the Gwinnett County Police Department must begin the preparations for a final farewell to Officer Toney, may You use this to draw many unto the love of Your Son. May many recognize the need of the “Peace” found only in Your Son that is accompanied with His amazing forgiveness of sins. May many know that Your Word says, “Now is the day of salvation.” May many receive Your Son into their hearts as their Savior and Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
