Our Father in Heaven, this past week has been tough on peacemakers across America. Once again, our hearts are broken and our spirits weak as we mourn with the men and women of the Harris County Sheriff's Department in the on-duty murder of Deputy Fernando Esqueda. 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 the hearts of those within the law enforcement family and hear our groans of pain at the loss of one of Your servant peacemakers. So, Lord, we lift up the men and women of the Harris County Sheriff's 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 their dear friend and co-worker. As the suspect is on the loose, may You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to be able to locate and arrest this suspect. May You supernaturally protect every law enforcement officer and surround them with Your angels. And should the suspect try to harm any other peace officers, may You cause his weapon to malfunction. May You cause the suspect to be fatigued and confused and may You cause him to surrender. O’ Lord, may Your mercies and amazing grace especially settle upon the family of Deputy Esqueda who are in shock and dismay over this senseless loss. May they intimately sense Your presence around them at all times knowing that it is You who will be carrying them through this very difficult time of loss. We thank You, Lord, that 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 law enforcement officers involved, we ask for Your mercies and comfort to be poured out upon them and may You preserve their hearts and minds from enduring any emotional trauma. May Your word as follow bring comfort and peace to 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, “When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.” Finally, grant Your grace and mercy to the many deputies, first responders, medics and doctors who were involved in the life-saving efforts and treatment of Deputy Esqueda. And in the coming days as preparations will be made to say farewell to Deputy Esqueda, 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, 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 Harris County Sheriff's Department and allied law enforcement agencies and carry them through difficult days ahead. May you fill the investigators with wisdom as they piece together the details of this horrific incident and may the suspect be swiftly apprehended. May You even allow the suspect to receive You as Savior and Lord. Finally, may many know Your love personally and receive You as their Savior, Lord and Friend, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen
