Our Father in Heaven, we join with the Illinois State Police and entire law enforcement community in mourning the on-duty traffic fatality of an Illinois State Trooper who was struck by a vehicle. O’ Lord, as there have been a number of recent on-duty collisions involving law enforcement officers across America we come boldly into Your Presence to seek Your mercy and grace to settle upon the men and women of the Illinois State Police and every law enforcement officer who operate a motor vehicle or motorcycle. As we know this death has affected many co-workers ever so greatly, may Your love, grace, mercy and comfort touch their hearts and souls as they go through this very difficult time of mourning. May they intimately sense Your Presence and Your Strength carrying them through this time of loss as they must now prepare a final farewell for their fallen comrade. And as the family members are in obvious mourning and deep sorrow, may Your Holy Spirit be with them and give them strength to carry them through the coming days. May his family come to deeply sense Your Presence in their hearts and souls for You said You would never leave us nor forsake us. May You grant the law enforcement investigators with wisdom from on high to investigate this incident and gather facts surrounding this collision. May You use this tragedy to draw law enforcement officers across America to be aware of their mortality and to come to know You in a personal way. In the coming days as the men and women of the Illinois State Police make preparations to say a final farewell to this fallen trooper, may You use raise up chaplains and Godly officers to be a light to the world in the midst of this tragedy. May Your good news be clearly presented to those in need and may any law enforcement officer, friend or family member be given an opportunity to receive Your Son into their hearts and receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. May many take to heart that your word says, “Come near to God and he will come near to you.” May You take this tragedy and bring about good to the entire Illinois law enforcement community. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
