Our Merciful Lord, our hearts are broken as we mourn with the men and women of the Waller County Sheriff's Department in this tragic loss of an deputy trapped in flood water while on-duty. Lord, as we know this has deeply affected many co-workers who tried to rescue their fellow deputy, we come into Your Presence to seek Your mercy and grace to settle upon them as they cope with this difficult loss. We especially lift up the family of this fallen deputy and ask You to wrap Your arms of loving kindness around them as they cope with this sudden and tragic loss. Lord, we ask You to grant the investigators wisdom and insight to be able to gather the facts surrounding this collision and prevent any further tragedies like this one. May You use this incident as a training aid to countless law enforcement officers across America of flood dangers while driving. May Your grace, comfort, presence and Your mercies touch the many paramedics, firefighters and medical personnel who were involved in trying to save this injured deputy. As we know traumatic events like this can cause emotional trauma to surface, may Your grace preserve every persons heart and mind. And as we know there are some who have been deeply affected by this tragic loss, may they know Your word says, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.” And that You are our Rock, Fortress and Deliverer. So Lord, may those grieving know they can always cast their cares upon You for You care for them for Your word says, “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.” May You bring about good through this tragedy. And as the Waller County Sheriff's Department will now be preparing a final farewell for their fallen comrade, may many hear the good news for the first time and may many receive Your Son into their hearts as their savior and Lord, in the name of Jesus we Pray, Amen.
