Our Father in Heaven, our hearts are deeply broken and our spirits weak as we mourn with the men and women of the Victoria (Australia) Police in the on-duty murder of two officers and for the Kansas City (KS) Police Department in the intentional, on-duty fatality of Officer Hunter Simoncic . O’ Lord, there are times like this when we don’t know how to pray to You for the grief is so great in our hearts and souls. Nonetheless Lord, we know You see our hearts and hear our groans of pain at the loss of three of Your servant peacemakers. So Lord, we lift up the men and women of the Victoria and Kansas City Police Departments 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 friends and colleagues. May Your mercies and amazing grace especially settle upon the families of these fallen officers who are in deep mourning. May they intimately sense Your Presence around them at all times knowing that it is You who will be carrying them through this extremely difficult time of loss. And as a third officer is undergoing surgery, grant the doctors wisdom to treat his wounds and spare his life.  As investigators are on the scene which is still active, grant them supernatural wisdom and insight to gather all of the facts surrounding this horrific incident and arrest the suspect. Even in the midst of this 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 found in Romans 13. As we know this traumatic event has created great emotional trauma in the hearts of many Australian and U.S. law enforcement officers, we ask for Your mercies and comfort to be poured out upon them and may You preserve their hearts and minds from enduring any long-term traumatic fallout. Grant grace to the many first responders, medics and doctors who were involved at that horrific scene and/or were involved in life-saving efforts and treatment of all involved. And in the coming days as preparations will begin to be made to say farewell to their fallen comrades, 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, who is our Forgiver and Savior. Comfort them with these words, “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” And, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Grant hope and comfort in the hearts of those grieving ever so greatly. Wrap your Arms around every member of the Victoria and Kansas City Police Departments and carry them through difficult days ahead. May many know Your love personally and receive You as their Savior and Friend, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
