Our Father in Heaven, we seek Your unfailing love and mercies upon the men and women of the San Benito Police Department. Lord, our hearts are numb with grief and sorrow at this tragic loss of Lt. Milton Resendez and the Knightdale Police Dept. in the on-duty fatality of Officer Ryan Hayworth. First, Lord, we come before Your Throne of Grace to lift Officer Cody Hagler into Your arms of love who seriously injured. We are so thankful he survived and place him into Your care and Love. As we know he is in pain--physically, emotionally and spiritually, may Your grace and peace settle upon his heart and mind. May You grant the doctors wisdom to effectively treat and restore him to full health. As we know this loss has hit the San Benito Police Department and Knightdale Police Department members especially hard, may You raise up chaplains and other Godly law enforcement officers to be a support and help at this very emotional time. We are so thankful that law enforcement officers at both scenes were able to take suspects into custody. May You grant the investigators wisdom to determine all of the facts surrounding both incidents. We especially lift up the families of these Lt. Resendez and Officer Hayworth and place them into Your loving Arms. May they be deeply and intimately filled with Your amazing grace and compassionate love. May Your Holy Spirit be made real in everyone’s heart and sustain them through this very difficult time. Lord, we need Your grace more than anything to be upon the entire San Benito and Knightdale Police Departments and their surrounding law enforcement community. May Your word as follow comfort those in need, “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. And, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” May Your unending mercies, unfailing love and peace provide supernatural strength to them at this time of loss. Lord, we also want to lift up the small army of law enforcement officers and countless paramedics, firefighters and other first responders who were at those scenes who had to witness the tragedy upon those with whom they worked so closely. May You encamp Your angels around them and supernaturally sustain them with Your peace, mercy and grace. Continue to grant the investigators wisdom as they piece together the facts of these incidents. Finally, Lord, may You continue to provide wisdom to law enforcement officers across America and the world to remember their training and always use sound tactics. May Your Holy Spirit gently settle upon the entire and Knightdale Police Departments and allied agencies and strengthen them with Your Holy Spirit. Touch the hearts of every member of the many law enforcement agencies assisting in this very difficult situation. May You protect the heart, mind and spirit of every member of the San Benito and Knightdale Police Departments and draw them unto Your Son for strength at this loss of a dear friend and co-worker. May Your love reign supreme and may many law enforcement officers come to receive Your Son into their heart as their Savior and Lord who will carry them through difficult days. And as both agencies will be having to make preparations for a final farewell for their fallen colleagues, may You be magnified center stage at this service. O’ Lord, may You raise up chaplains and other Godly officers to be a representative of Your Light. May You bring about good through this difficult incident. May every law enforcement officer know they are God’s Servant for Good. May they forever be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might and always put on the whole armor of God, In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
