Our Father in Heaven, we come into Your Presence, O’ Lord with hearts of praise and gratitude unto You for sparing the life of Newton Police Chief Will Jackson. As the news reported he was shot in the torso and was saved because of his Kevlar vest, we know there will still be some pain and emotional trauma that he must deal with. So, Lord, we ask for Your continued healing touch to be upon him and ask you to provide for a full and complete recovery. More importantly, Lord, we ask for Your amazing grace to settle upon his heart and mind as he must deal with the emotional reality of this life-threatening event. May Your grace and your presence touch the heart and mind of all of the peace officers at that scene as they replay this ordeal in their minds. May Your mercy and grace be with the members of the multiple law enforcement officers who were present as we know it can affect many co-workers as well. May Your peace that passes all understanding especially touch the family of Chief Jackson as they rally around him from this near-death experience. Lord, may You use this near tragedy to draw the members of those multiple Texas law enforcement agencies unto Your side to intimately experience the joy provided by Your Son. And if Chief Jackson or any other peace officer or family members do not know Your love and forgiveness, may Your Holy Spirit cause many to examine their hearts and draw them to the Love of Your Son, Jesus. Lord, we ask You to provide the investigators with wisdom and insight to piece together facts of this shooting in which the suspects later surrendered. May the suspects also come to receive Your love and forgiveness. As a result of this near-death encounter, may You draw Chief Jackson and many other officers and family members to Your side and may many come to receive You as their Savior and Lord. May Your mercies and peace rest upon the many first responders and medical personnel who aided in Chief Jackson. May Your words as follows come alive in the hearts of many law enforcement officers, “Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me”, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
