Our Merciful Lord, Our hearts are broken, O’ Lord, as we join with the men and women of the Stone County Sheriff’s Department in mourning the loss of one of their deputies. We therefore come boldly into Your Presence to lift the men and women of the Stone County Sheriff’s Department and place them before Your Throne of Grace as this in under investigation. As we know this loss has deeply affected them emotionally and spiritually, we ask for Your Arms of Loving kindness to supernaturally uphold them as You carry them through this time of loss. As we know the family of this fallen deputy  is in deep mourning, we ask You to be their Rock, their Fortress and their Refuge right now and in the days ahead. May Your Peace that passes all understanding be supernaturally revealed to the members of the Stone County Sheriff’s Department and their many family members and friends. As the news reports are only providing minimal details, may You hold every peacemaker ever so close to Your Side in the midst of this horrific scene.  May You grant the investigators wisdom to piece together all of the facts surrounding this crime and may they exhibit every measure of professionalism in the midst of this difficult investigation. As we know traumatic incidents like these can affect many family members and co-workers, we ask Your Holy Spirit to settle upon the heart and mind anyone who has been traumatized and preserve their mind, body and spirit in Your Arms of Love. May they be kept from enduring any short-term or long-term emotional trauma. May anyone struggling emotionally or spiritually know Your word says, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” And, “I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” In the coming days as the Stone County Sheriff’s Department will begin to make preparations for a final farewell for their fallen comrade, may You use this solemn ceremony to point anyone grieving unto the love of Your Son.  O’ Lord, may You be their Rock, Fortress and Deliverer and an ever-present help in times of trouble.  May You cause many to examine their hearts and be drawn to the love of Jesus and receive his forgiveness and eternal life. And as a result of this near-tragedy, may You raise up Godly officers and chaplains to reach out and point many to the Cross, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
