Our gracious Lord, every day, we are so thankful to those faithful law enforcement officers across America who place themselves in harm’s way as they serve their community. We again are ever so thankful to You Lord for hearing our prayers and protecting the lives of two Chesapeake Police officers two Pennsylvania State Troopers. We are so thankful to You, Lord, for sparing their lives and allowing them to be able to go home to their families. As the news reports the Chesapeake officers suffered non-life-threatening wounds and the Pennsylvania Troopers suffered serious injuries, we seek Your amazing grace, mercies, peace, Your Presence and Your comfort to sweetly settle upon their hearts and minds as they recover from their near-death encounter. May You grant the doctors wisdom to be able to render the correct treatment and bring about a full recovery. We are so thankful to you Lord for these peace officers staying strong and remembering their training to stay safe. So, Lord, may your grace and mercies continue to touch the men and women of the Chesapeake Police Department and continue to protect them from all harm, danger and evil which they must encounter every day. May You to fill the investigators with wisdom and insight in order to gather all evidence and facts surrounding these encounters. We are thankful the suspects in both incidents are no longer a threat. May Your Presence be with the families of these two wounded Chesapeake officers and Pennsylvania Troopers and may they know it was Your mercies and Your grace which saved them. May Your word bring comfort to those in need, “For your name’s sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.” May many peace officers be drawn to You, Lord, because of these incidents and may many come to know You as their personal Savior and Lord. This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. |
