Our Dearest Lord, It is again with deep hearts of gratitude that we thank you for sparing the life of a Costilla County Sheriff’s Deputy. We, therefore, come boldly before Your Throne of Grace and ask that your healing power would continue to settle upon his physical body and restore to complete health. As news reports that although he was shot three times and has since been released from the hospital, we thank You for Your amazing grace and ask You to continue to bring about a full healing—physically, emotionally and spiritually.  May your grace and mercies be upon this wounded deputy’s mind and heart as we know near death incidents like this can cause him to endure great emotional strain. May Your peace that passes all comprehension gently settle upon his mind and may he recognize he can go to You anytime because we know You will be a refuge in time of need. May your mercies additionally extend to his co-workers who were at that scene who may have also been mentally and emotionally traumatized. As the news reports the suspect escaped but was later apprehended, we are thankful this manhunt has ended. May this wounded deputy and any other law enforcement officer who may be having a difficult time dealing with this trauma know in their hearts that they can come before Your Throne of Grace any time and cast all of their burdens upon You because You intimately care for them. May your love, grace and comfort settle upon the family of this wounded deputy as they, too, experienced great emotional trauma. May Your love, grace, peace, mercy and comfort settle upon them as You carry them through this very emotional time. May Your amazing grace be with all of the deputies who were at that scene and may they sense the sweet presence of your Holy Spirit uplifting them by Your unfailing love. May your grace also touch the first responders and medical personnel who rendered care to all involved. May You surround the men and women of Costilla County Sheriff’s Department with Your love as they cope with the realities of the near loss of a co-worker. In all of this turmoil, Lord, we ask for Your goodness to be made evident to every deputy, family member, co-worker and friend and may many be drawn to Your side. May You use this near-death incident to bring many peacemakers to attend a Sunday service in their community.  May the Love of Your Son descend upon their hearts and minds and may those who do not know You, be given an opportunity to receive You in their hearts as their Savior and Lord. This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
