Our Merciful Lord, our hearts are broken and spirits weak as we lift up the men and women of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department as they are mourning this tragic loss of one of their co-workers. So Lord, the law enforcement community across America is once again seeking Your Amazing Grace to settle upon the entire Las Vegas Metro Police Department for Your word says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” Lord, as the hearts and spirits of so many are totally devastated at this senseless loss, we come boldly before Your Throne of grace to seek Your comfort, peace, strength and love to carry those through this extremely emotional time. May You grant the investigators wisdom as they investigate this crime in which the suspect has also died. As we know it is ONLY Your Word and Your Presence that can carry us through difficult days ahead for Your word says, we trust in Your word that says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” And, “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill.” And, “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.” So, Lord, may Your Words permeate the heart of every member of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Grant their investigators supernatural strength to gather the facts from this heinous attack on one of Your peacemaker-servants. May this fallen officer’s family especially know Your peace that passes all understanding as You carry them through this time of mourning and grieving. May they intimately know Your love, grace, peace, mercy comfort and Presence. And in the coming days as the Las Vegas Metro Police Department will begin to prepare a final farewell to their fallen comrade, may You raise up Godly officers, chaplains and others to be a representative of Your Son to all. May You use this final farewell to point many law enforcement officers unto the love of Your Son and may many have an opportunity to receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord. May Your amazing grace settle upon the hearts of those greatly grieving and mourning, in the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
