O’ Our Merciful Lord, it with a deep sense of urgency that we come boldly into your Presence to lift up Officer Jaison Potts into Your loving arms. As news reports he was shot in the face, we seek Your presence, grace and healing power to immediately settle upon him right now. O’ Lord, because You alone are our Rock and our Fortress and our ever-present help in times of trouble, we earnestly come before your Throne of Grace to ask You to supernaturally touch this officer. As he has been taken to a trauma center, may You continue to provide the needed medical specialists and doctors to quickly diagnose his wound and apply the correct surgical treatment and medications to save this peacemaker. As we know the family of Officer Potts is at his side and are in deep distress, we seek Your amazing grace to sustain them through this very difficult time. Lord, may your sustaining grace, peace and mercy touch the hearts and souls of the men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department as they rally to support their law enforcement family. Continue to pour out Your wisdom on the medical staff to save the life of this wounded servant. May You grant the investigators wisdom and insight to piece together the facts of this incident. As other officers were present and had to witness one of their comrades to be wounded and then use their weapons, we know that they can be affected mentally, emotionally and spiritually. May Your amazing grace prevent them from enduring any short-term or long-term affects upon their hearts minds and may they be drawn unto Your side for grace. May Your words as follows speak to the hearts of so many, “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.” ; and “Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.” So Lord, raise up chaplains and other Christian officers to bring comfort to all. May many know and intimately experience Your grace and mercy. O’ Lord, continue to touch and heal Your servant, Officer Potts, this we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
