Our God of Mercy and Grace, we join with the men and women of the Ft. Lupton Police Department as they are rallying around a critically wounded co-worker and lift him before Your Throne of Grace.  O’ God, because Your Word says You are Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace, it is with confidence what we come into Your presence and ask for Your healing power continue to descend upon this officer in the hospital in which the news reports indicate he is in critical. O’ Lord, we know You are the Author of Life. We thank You that You are merciful, wise, omniscient, faithful, Holy and good and for those reasons, we seek Your amazing grace and the touch of the Master’s Hand to be upon this wounded officer from head to foot. May You reach inside his physical body and begin the healing process according to Your Riches and Glory in Christ Jesus. May this wounded officer, the Ft. Lupton Police Department and his family know Your word says, “My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh.” Lord, we know and trust that this wounded officer is in Your hands as well as the wounded suspect.  You know all things and You know we earnestly come before Your Throne of Grace to seek Your mercy and grace at this time of need. And if this wounded officer does not know Your love and forgiveness, we ask You to use chaplains, Godly officers and others to share Your love with him and allow him to receive You has his personal Savior and Lord. We are also so thankful the suspect has been taken into custody so no other peace officers could be harmed.  May those officers at that scene who’ve been emotionally and/or spiritually challenged from this attack on one of their co-workers know, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” May they do as David, who said, “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” So Lord, may Your mercy, grace, love and comfort settle upon this wounded officer’s family, co-workers and friends as they rally around him. May Your peace that passes all understanding be made real in everyone’s hearts and especially to the many allied law enforcement officers involved in this incident. May You use this near-tragedy to draw all men unto Your Son in whom there is forgiveness of sins and everlasting life, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
