Our Father in Heaven, the pain is great in our hearts as we seek Your unfailing love and mercies upon the men and women of the White Apache Mountain Police Department in this horrific loss of a police officer. O’ Lord, our hearts are numb with grief and sorrow as we come before Your Throne of Grace to lift the second seriously wounded officer who airlifted to a hospital. We come boldly before Your Throne of Grace and place him into Your Care and Love. As we know this officer is in pain--physically, emotionally and spiritually, may Your grace and peace settle upon his heart and mind. May You grant the doctors wisdom to effectively treat this injured officer and restore him to full health. Spare his life O’ God. As we know this attack has hit the White Apache Mountain Police members especially hard, may You raise up chaplains and other Godly officers to be a support and help at this very emotional time. We are thankful the suspect is no longer a threat as he died at the scene. We especially lift up the families of these officers and place them into Your loving Arms. May they be deeply and intimately filled with Your amazing grace and compassionate love as You carry them through this very difficult time and may Your Holy Spirit be made real in everyone’s heart. Lord, we need Your grace more than anything to be upon the entire White Apache Mountain Police and allied agencies. May Your unending mercies, unfailing love and peace provide supernatural strength to them at this time of loss. Lord, we also want to lift up the small army of law enforcement officers and countless paramedics, fire-fighters and other first responders who were at that scene who had to witness the tragedy upon those with whom they worked so closely. May You encamp Your angels around them and supernaturally sustain them with Your peace, mercy and grace. Grant the investigators wisdom as they piece together the facts of this incident. Finally Lord, may You continue to provide wisdom to law enforcement officers across America and the world to remember their training and always use sound tactics. May Your Holy Spirit gently settle upon the entire White Apache Mountain Police members and allied agencies and strengthen them with Your Holy Spirit. May You protect the heart, mind and spirit of every member of the White Apache Mountain Police and draw them unto Your Son for strength at this loss of their dear friend and co-worker. May Your love reign supreme and may many law enforcement officers come to receive Your Son into their heart as their Savior and Lord who will carry them through difficult days. As difficult as this loss is, may Your Word as follow comfort many who are hurting: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” And, “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” And as the White Apache Mountain Police will be having to make preparations for a final farewell for their fallen colleague, may You be magnified center stage at this service. O’ Lord, may You raise up chaplains and other Godly officers to be a representative of Your Light. May You bring about good through this difficult incident. May every officer know they are God’s Servant for Good. May they forever be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might and always put on the whole armor of God, In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
