Our Gracious Lord, It is with great earnest that we come unto Your Throne of Grace to lift up critically injured Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Jason Phillips. As he is reported to be in critical condition and has likely already undergone surgery, we come into Your Presence Lord, the Great Physician, and ask for Your mercies and grace to intervene and touch him from head to toe. May You grant the medical staff continued wisdom to use their skills and training to diagnose and render the correct treatment in order to fully restore Your injured servant to complete health. May Your love, presence, mercy, grace and peace especially settle upon his family who are rallying at his side as we know they are filled with a multitude of emotions, anxiety and concern. May your grace and love especially touch the many other Ohio State Highway Patrol officers and first responders who were first on the scene to render first aid to their injured comrade. May Your presence and peace sustain them and uplift them with Your grace. May You comfort many with these words, “The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice.“ Grant the collision investigators wisdom and insight to piece together the details of this collision. We especially lift up every member of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and countless other troopers as they love and support the family of their injured brother and each other at this very difficult time of uncertainty. Grant these law enforcement officers Your amazing grace to carry them through difficult days ahead. And if Officer Phillips does not know Your love, may You supernaturally speak to his heart and mind and reveal to him that, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” May many law enforcement officers be drawn unto Your side Lord. May You heal Officer Phillips from head to toe in any way that will bring Glory to Your Name. May You raise up Godly officers and chaplains to be a tremendous support to any in need. May many be drawn to the Love of Your Son in whom we can cast all of our cares upon. This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, Amen.
