O’ Lord, Our hearts are broken as we mourn with the Shreveport Police Department in the on-duty murder of an officer. As the news reports indicate the suspect is still on the loose, we ask You to supernaturally empower the law enforcement community with wisdom and insight in order to swiftly and safely apprehend the suspect.  We ask You to embrace the family of this fallen officer with Your love, grace, peace, presence, mercy and comfort. May Your Holy Spirit support them throughout this extremely difficult time of loss.  Lord, we ask Your Holy Spirit to settle upon the spirit and mind of every member of the Shreveport Police Department and grant them Your peace that passes all understanding.  May they rest on Your promise that says, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.”  As we know this loss has deeply affected many officers, we ask You to grant the investigators with supernatural wisdom to investigate this shooting and quickly apprehend those responsible for this heinous act on one of Your peacemakers. Lord, we ask You to be a Shield and Refuge for every law enforcement officer involved in this incident and may You be a Fortress around them at all times. As the details surrounding this incident are limited, may Your peace, grace, mercy and strength touch every law enforcement officer—especially those who were at the initial shooting scene and had to endure the emotional trauma. Protect the hearts and minds of all officers from having to endure any long term or short term emotional trauma. O’ God, be that Stronghold in which every officer and family member can draw upon for strength. May You confuse the mind of this suspect.  May You cause his weapon to malfunction. If he attempts to attack any more of Your Peacemakers, may You thwart any such attacks.  May You cause this suspect to be guilt-ridden and may he not be able to rest or sleep until he is in custody.  May You cause him to surrender peacefully. May You bring about good from this horrible crime.  Even in the midst of this tragedy, may Your name be glorified in all that happens.  May You raise up chaplains and Godly officers to support each other at this difficult time, in the name of Jesus we Pray, Amen.
