Our Father in Heaven, our hearts are broken and our spirits weak as we mourn with the men and women of the Algona Police Department in the murder Officer Kevin Cram. O’ Lord, there are times when we don’t know how to pray to You for the grief is so great. Nonetheless Lord, we know You know our hearts and hear our groans of pain at the loss of one of Your peacemakers. So Lord, we lift up the men and women of the Algona Police Department before your Throne of Grace and ask for Your mercies to touch their hearts with Your hands of loving kindness. May Your grace uphold those whose hearts are broken at the loss of a dear friend and co-worker. May Your mercies and amazing grace especially settle upon the family of Officer Cram. May they intimately sense Your presence around them at all times knowing that it is You who will be carrying them through this difficult time of loss. We thank You, Lord, for Officer Cram and every law enforcement officer for Your Word clearly says that the law enforcement officer does not carry his sword (or firearm) in vain. As we know this traumatic event has created great emotional trauma in the hearts of many Algona law enforcement officers, we ask for Your mercies and comfort to be poured out upon them and may You preserve their hearts and minds from enduring any long-term traumatic fallout. Grant grace to the many first responders, medics and doctors who were involved in the life-saving efforts and treatment of all involved. We are thankful the suspect was arrested. And in the coming days as preparations will be made to say farewell to Officer Cram, may many law enforcement officers be drawn close to You where they may examine their hearts and reveal their need for a personal relationship with You Lord, who is our Forgiver and Savior. Grant hope and comfort in the hearts of those grieving ever so greatly. Wrap your Arms around every member of the Algona Police Department and carry them through difficult days ahead. May Your word as follow comfort many, “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” May you fill the investigators with wisdom as they piece together the details of this horrific incident. May many know Your love personally and receive You as their Savior and Friend, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
