May Your mercies and grace touch the body of Officer Blackchief and sustain him with Your Arms of Love. May he make a full recovery in body, spirit and mind. As the suspect escaped, may You grant the investigators with wisdom to investigate this attack and locate the suspect. May Your love, grace, peace, mercy and everlasting comfort settle upon the heart and mind of every member of the Cheektowaga Police Department. May Your amazing grace especially descend upon the family of Officer Blackchief and his colleagues as they are rally around him to love and support him at this very emotional time. Lord, as we know this attempted murder of this officer will affect many co-workers and others in the local law enforcement community, may Your grace and love surround them and hold them ever so tightly in Your Hands. May You raise up chaplains and other Godly officers to be a beacon of light to this injured officer and any others who were involved in this near-death encounter.

O’ Lord, let Your peace that passes all understanding settle in his heart, his family and in the heart of every member of the Cheektowaga Police 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. May You use this to draw many who may have fallen away from You and may You welcome them back into Your arms of Loving kindness, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
