Our Gracious Lord, Unto You Lord, we give You all the glory in sparing the lives of four more of your servants from on-duty collisions. We are so thankful for allowing each of your servants to continue to serve in the profession in which they were called. We pray for the officers injured in these collisions and ask for Your mercies to be upon them as they are being treated at local medical facilities. May Your Holy Spirit guide the medical professionals and grant them wisdom and insight to diagnose and properly treat the injuries of each respective law enforcement officer and may they have a speedy recovery. Not only were the officers and co-workers affected by these incidents, but so were many other family members and friends. We therefore also want to lift them into Your presence Lord and ask You to sustain them with Your grace and loving mercy. May you (in Your own ways, Lord) draw many closer to Your side where they may be drawn to Your awesome peace and joy. Lord, we ask You to remind every law enforcement officer across the U.S. to always wear their safety equipment and to be extra vigilant as they drive their law enforcement vehicles. Lastly, we lift up the Eatonton Police Department as they mourn the loss of Officer Noel Hawk who died on-duty breaking up a fight. Lord, as no law enforcement officer in the U.S. and across the world knows when their death will occur, may each be drawn ever so close to Your side and may they come to know the eternal life provided by Your Son. May Your grace be made real in their lives,, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
