Our Merciful and Gracious Father, we come before your Throne of Grace to lift a Pomona Police Officer into Your Presence who was wounded in the line on-duty. As the news reports he was shot in the leg and has since been released from a hospital we ask You to grant the medical professional’s wisdom to continue to render any treatment to him as needed and bring about a full recovery. Lord, we also want to lift up the family of this wounded officer and all of the other officers who were involved in this incident into Your Gracious Presence. As this officer’s family is likely with their loved one now, may they intimately know Your Presence, love, grace, peace, mercy and comfort at every moment. Give them peace in the middle of this storm. As we know many other law enforcement officers who were at that scene are dealing with the emotional realities of this incident, we ask for your grace, mercy, peace and love settle upon their hearts and minds and sustain them with Your Amazing Grace. We are thankful the suspect has been arrested. May You grant the investigators supernatural wisdom and insight to gather the facts in this encounter. May your peace that passes all understanding sustain all of the officers involved in that incident. Finally, Lord, may your Holy Spirit settle upon the heart, soul and mind of every officer with the Pomona Police Department. May your grace preserve them emotionally and spiritually and keep them from enduring any future emotional trauma that can result from these highly stressful incidents. May Your words as follow bring comfort to those in need of Your touch, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” And, “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” May the love of Jesus Christ be revealed to every officer and family member. May they know that Jesus said, “Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” May they know, that although they may have just walked through the valley of the shadow of death, You will forever be with them—for we know You will never leave us nor forsake us. May many Pomona officers have an opportunity to know Your amazing grace and forgiveness and may many receive You into their hearts as their Savior and Lord, this we ask in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
