Our Father in Heaven, We come in great earnest before Your wonderful Throne of Grace to lift up a wounded Los Angeles School Police Sergeant. As the news reports indicate he was struck by a car during a carjacking and is being treated at a hospital, we seek Your continued mercies to be poured out upon this injured sergeant. O’ Lord, we ask You to continue to guide the medical professionals to properly diagnose and treat his injuries and bring about a full recovery. Most importantly, Lord, may Your grace, peace, mercy and comfort be made evident to the family of this sergeant and may they be drawn ever so close to Your Side as they are at the hospital supporting their loved one. May Your peace continue to settle upon the heart of Your injured peacemaker, and may Your grace, love, comfort and unending love be made real in his heart and spirit. May Your Word as follows dwell richly in his heart and upon his family and co-workers as follows: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” So Lord, may Your grace and mercies also be upon the many other police officers, paramedics and medical professionals who were involved in the initial care and treatment of this injured sergeant. As the news reports the suspect was wounded by the sergeant and is in custody, we ask You to grant the investigators wisdom and insight to gather all of the facts surrounding this incident.  As the men and women of the Los Angeles School Police Department are rallying around their injured comrade, may You raise up chaplains and other Godly officers to be a beacon of Your Presence. And as this sergeant is being treated, may he sense Your presence in his heart and mind at all times and may he be drawn ever so close to Your side. Grant him an amazing peace together with Your amazing grace to carry him through this time of uncertainty. May You preserve his heart and mind in Your arms of love and grace in order to prevent him from enduring any long-term emotional trauma. And if this sergeant does not know Your love, may Your Holy Spirit draw him unto Your side where he can seek Salvation found only in Your Son and receive everlasting life. May your name be forever glorified, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
