Our Father in Heaven, we come before Your Throne of Grace, once again and are so thankful to You for sparing the life of this New York City Police Officer. As the news reports this officer is recovering at a local hospital with a wound to an arm, we ask You to continue to grant the medical staff wisdom to apply the correct treatment and bring about a full recovery. As the family of this officer is likely at his side, may Your Presence and grace be made known to their hearts and minds as You carry them through this near-death encounter. May they intimately know Your love and unending mercies. We also want to lift the other New York City police officer before Your Throne of Grace who was present when this shooting and had to use deadly force in which the suspect was wounded. May these officers deeply sense Your Hands of mercy and Your Presence carrying them through this near-death encounter. As we know traumatic incidents like this can cause short-term or long-term emotional and spiritual trauma, we therefore seek an abundance of Your grace to be poured upon them to allow them to heal. As this near-death encounter has affected the entire New York City Police Department, may every member be encouraged by Your Word as follows, “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Lord, may You use this near-death encounter to cause many officers to examine their hearts. If any have strayed from Your path, may You use this to draw them back unto the love of Your Son. And if any officer does not know You, may You cause them to seek You with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength.
