Our God of Mercy, We come before your Throne of Grace as we lift up a Richmond Police Officer who was wounded in the line of duty.  We are so thankful to you Lord, for sparing his life.  Your word says that You are close to those who call upon Your name, and so Lord, we pray for this wounded officer and ask for Your grace, peace, mercy and comfort to settle upon him as he faced this sudden deadly encounter.  May your grace continue to be upon his mind, body and heart as he is being treated for his wound.  Grant the doctor’s wisdom to effectively treat and restore him to complete fullness.   May your mercy extend to all of the other Richmond officers and sustain them with Your grace.  May your peace and comfort also settle upon the family of this wounded officer.  May your grace, mercy and peace also settle upon the family of the suspect who lost his life.  May Peace reign throughout Richmond.  May your arms of love surround the officers and citizens and may You fill the investigators with wisdom and insight to gather all of the facts.  May the people of America awaken to the fact that law enforcement officers are needed to keep peace—otherwise there would be anarchy.  May Your grace affirm in their hearts of every law enforcement officer that the job they do has been established by You.  Lastly Lord, we thank you that You are always there for Your children who know You to be their rock, shield, strength and stronghold.  And if there are any officers at this incident struggling with an emptiness in their heart, may Your Holy Spirit touch their hearts and minds and draw them to Your Son in whom there may know and experience eternal life.   May Your name be eternally glorified, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
