Our Merciful Lord, our hearts are broken as we mourn with the men and women of the Colorado State Patrol in this tragic loss of Trooper Moden. Lord, 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 Trooper Moden and ask You to wrap Your arms of loving kindness around them as they cope with this sudden and tragic loss of their dear loved one.  May You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to be able to gather the facts surrounding this collision.  May Your peace, grace, comfort, presence and Your mercies touch the many paramedics, firefighters and medical personnel who were involved in trying to save Trooper Moden.  As we know traumatic events like this can cause emotional trauma to surface, may Your amazing grace preserve every person’s hearts and minds and may they be drawn to You for comfort.  As we know there are some who have been deeply affected by this loss, may they know Your word says, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.” And, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ”    So Lord, may those grieving know they can always cast their cares upon You for You care for them.  May You bring about good through this tragedy.  We are specially so thankful that Trooper Moden had a personal relationship with You Lord and is in Your loving arms.  And as the Colorado State Patrol will be preparing a final farewell for Trooper Moden, may many hear the good news for the first time and may many receive Your Son into their hearts as their savior and Lord.  May these words bring comfort to many as follows, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God”, in the name of Jesus we Pray, Amen.
