Our Almighty Lord,  For the third time in two days, we come before you in prayer to lift up two more of your servants who were wounded in the line of duty.  Lord, we ask for your continued healing power to be upon Officer Jim Letts and Officer Edgar Rios as they are recovering in the hospital from their wounds.  We are ever so grateful to you Lord for sparing their lives.  Lord, we ask you to pour out Your grace upon the entire Trenton Police Department as they are in obvious shock from this tragic assault against their dear friends and co-workers.  May Your Holy Spirit settle upon all of the men and women of the Trenton Police Department and may every one of them be drawn ever so close to Your side.  May You raise up chaplains, Christian Cops and others to minister to them.  May Your Holy Spirit touch the minds, hearts and spirits of Officer Jim Letts and Officer Edgar Rios and if they do not know You as their Savior and Lord, may they be supernaturally drawn to Your side where there is unending mercies.  May Your love, grace, peace, mercies and comfort gently descend upon the families of these two officers who were obviously traumatically affected when they learned of this attempt on their lives.  May your grace also extend to every first responder who assisted in saving the lives of these officers.  May Your Holy Spirit continue to remind every law enforcement officer in America and abroad to remember their training and to always use good tactics in any situation as an officer never knows what to expect.  Lord, as the assaults on Your servants of Righteousness seem to be on the increase, may every officer in America know that anyone who calls upon the name of Your son will gain eternal life with You.  So Lord, even though five of Your servants were wounded in just two days, we know we can still thank You for sparing their lives because you hear and answer the prayers of so many faithful prayer warriors who have been praying for every law enforcement officer.  May we all be reminded that You are our Rock, our Fortress, our Deliverer, our Protector.  May You remind every officer to be sure to always take up the whole armor of God so that they may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.  This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
