May Your mercies and grace touch the body of this deputy and sustain him with Your Arms of Love. May he make a full recovery in body, spirit and mind. As the suspect was also wounded in this incident and is in custody, may You grant the investigators with wisdom to investigate this attack. May Your love, grace, peace, mercy and everlasting comfort settle upon the heart and mind of every member of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

May You raise up chaplains and other Godly officers to be a beacon of light to this injured deputy and any others who were involved in this near-death encounter.

O’ Lord, let Your peace that passes all understanding settle in the hearts of this injured deputy, his family and in the heart of every member of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. May Your word bring comfort to those in need, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.” And, “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.” Lord, preserve the hearts and minds of those affected and spare them from any short-term or long-term emotional trauma. May You use this incident Lord, to open the hearts of many to know and receive the salvation of Your Son in whom there is everlasting life.
