Our Merciful Lord, we come boldly into Your Presence O’ Lord and ask you to hear our prayer as we lift up a critically wounded Henry County Police Officer Paramhans Desai before Your Wonderful Throne of Grace. At times like this Lord, we know it is only You to whom we can turn and ask You to pour out Your supernatural wisdom upon every medical doctor and staff member as they treat him. O’ God, spare his life. As the news reports indicate he is in critical but stable condition, may You fill the doctors with Your Holy Spirit and guide their hearts and minds in order to continue to effectively diagnose his wounds and apply the correct treatment that will heal Your wounded servant-peacemaker. May Your unfailing love, grace, peace, comfort and mercy sweetly settle upon Officer Desai as he fights for his life. May Your Presence be graciously made known to his family as they continually rally around him and support him at this very emotional time of uncertainty. May Your unending grace and Presence of Your Holy Spirit be made evident in their hearts and minds. As we know this attack on one of Your peacemakers has deeply affected the entire Henry County Police Department, may Your Arms of Love and Mercy uplift every officer and department member and hold them ever so close to Your side. Even in the middle of this near-tragedy, may Your grace be made known to all. May You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to piece together all of the details in this incident in which the suspect is on the run. May You raise up citizens to be able to spot the suspect and report his location. May You cause the suspect to be fatigued, confused and unable to rest. May You also cause his weapon to malfunction should he try to hark any other peace officers. Lord, may the suspect be quickly arrested. May Your words as follows resonate in the hearts of many as follows: “The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” Hear our cries and pour out your grace upon this wounded servant. May Your Holy Spirit, even now, begin to touch the hearts of so many in need of a touch from the Master’s Hand. May You raise up chaplains and other Christian law enforcement officers to minister to those hurting in their hearts. Finally, may the God of Hope fill every officer, friend and family member with all Joy and Peace because of the everlasting gift of eternal life found only in Your Son. And if Officer Desai does not know You, may You allow someone to tell him of Your love and the everlasting life found in Your Son, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
