Our Father in Heaven, it is unto You, Lord, that the law enforcement officers across America comes to with boldness and humility to seek Your mercies and grace to descend upon every one of Your peacemakers. And again, Lord, we come with hearts of thanksgiving and praise as we are so ever grateful to You for sparing the life of Weare Police Officer William Lewis who was shot on-duty. As we do not know the full extent of his injuries, may Your presence be made known to his heart and mind and may You draw him ever so close to Your side. As the news reports indicate he suffered several wounds to an arm and is undergoing surgery at a hospital, we ask You to fill the medical staff with wisdom and grace to render the correct treatment and bring about a full recovery. May Your grace and Your Presence also be with the family of this officer who nearly experienced the loss of a loved one and hold them tightly in Your Mighty Arms. May New Hamshire law enforcement officers know Your Word says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” May Your grace touch the many other law enforcement officers who assisted in this incident and may each sense the presence of Your grace and peace in their hearts as deadly force was used in which a suspect died. So Lord, may You give the investigators wisdom and insight to gather all the facts to determine the circumstances as to how this incident occurred. May You use this life-threatening incident to speak to the hearts of every Weare Police Officer and allied law enforcement officers who were at that scene and cause them to look inwardly at their hearts and souls. If any officer does not know you or if any officer is in a backslidden state, may they hear the sweet voice of Your Holy Spirit calling them that now is the day of salvation. May every law enforcement officer know Your Word says to, “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” May You raise up chaplains and other Godly law enforcement officers to be a light to each of them and point them to the love of Your Son in whom there is everlasting life. May Your love reign supreme in their hearts, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
