Our Merciful Lord, today has been a tough day for law enforcement officers across America as they protect and serve their communities. We, therefore, again come before Your Throne of grace to lift up seriously wounded Pasco Police Officer Jeremy Jones. As he is being treated at a hospital, we ask You to continue to grant the doctors with supernatural and natural wisdom to effectively diagnose his wounds and apply the correct treatment to bring about a full recovery. May Your love, grace, mercy, comfort, love, peace and presence gently touch Officer Jones’ family and sustain them with Your amazing grace. May these words comfort the family follow, “Be still and know that I am God.” And if Ofc. Jones does not know You personally, may You raise of Godly officers or chaplains to share the love of Your Son with him. We also want to lift up the men and women of the Rowan County Sheriff’s and fire department as they endured the near loss of two fellow deputies and a firefighter. O’ Lord, as we are so thankful to You in sparing the life of these public servants, may Your grace and mercies touch those who have been so deeply affected. May Your mercy, comfort, love, peace and presence touch the family of these wounded peace officers and firefighter sustain them with Your amazing grace. As countless members of the Rowan County Sheriff’s and fire department are surrounding the family of these injured peacemakers and firefighter, may Your Holy Spirit speak to their hearts to know Your word as follows says to, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.“ O’ God, may Your peace that passes all understanding sustain those in need. Grant the investigators in both incidents with wisdom to piece together the facts surrounding these crimes. As incidents like these can short-term or long-term emotional trauma, may You raise up Godly officers and chaplains to be available to support and care for anyone in need. May Your grace touch their hearts and minds and prevent and long-term issues. And in the weeks to come may You use these near tragedies to draw many unto the love of Your Son in whom there is everlasting life and peace. May many receive Jesus as their savior and Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen
