O’ God, our hearts are broken as we join with the Michigan and Alabama law enforcement community in mourning the on-duty murder of a Melvindale Police officer and a seriously wounded Homewood Police Officer. First, Lord, we come boldly into Your Presence to lift this seriously wounded Homewood Police Officer. We are thankful this officer survived and therefore place this officer into Your Care and Love. As we know this officer 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 this wounded officer and restore him to full health. As we know these attacks have hit both the Melvindale and Homewood Police Department members especially hard, may You raise up chaplains and other Godly officers to be a support and help at this very emotional time. As the suspect took his life in the Homewood incident, may You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to gather all of the facts and evidence in this incident. We also want to lift up the Melvindale Police Department into Your Arms of Love as they are grieving the loss of a dear friend and co-worker. As the suspect is on the loose and is known, may You grant the investigators wisdom to locate and arrest this suspect. And should the suspect try to harm any other officers, may You supernaturally intervene and stop him. May You cause him to be confused and guilt-ridden and unable to sleep or rest. So, Lord, we especially lift the families of these wounded and fallen officers 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 Melvindale Police Department and those co-workers who were especially close to their fallen comrade. 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 this carnage so closely. May You encamp Your angels around them and supernaturally sustain them with Your peace, mercy and grace. Finally Lord, may You continue to provide wisdom to law enforcement officers across America and the world to remember their training and use sound tactics. May Your Holy Spirit gently settle upon the involved law enforcement agencies in Michigan and Alabama and strengthen them with Your Holy Spirit. Touch the hearts of every member of the many law enforcement agencies assisting in both situations. May You protect the heart, mind and spirit of every member of law enforcement and draw them unto Your Son for strength at this loss of a dear friend and co-worker. May Your word as follows bring comfort to many, “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.“ 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 they will be having to make preparations for a final farewell for this fallen officer, 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 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.
