Our Merciful Lord, these past two days have been tough on Your peacemakers. Our hearts are broken, O’ Lord, as we join with the men and women of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office in the on-duty murder of Deputy Tobin Bolter, the Chicago Police Dept. in the murder of Officer Luis M. Huesca and for a wounded Iredell County Sheriff’s deputy. We therefore come boldly into Your Presence to lift the men and women of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office, Chicago Police Department and the Iredell County Sheriff’s Department and place them before Your Throne of Grace. As we know these losses has deeply affected them and the entire law enforcement community, we ask for Your Arms of Loving kindness to supernaturally uphold them as You carry them through this time of loss. As we know the family of Deputy Bolter and Officer Huesca are heartbroken and in deep mourning, we ask You to be their Rock, their Fortress and their Refuge right now and in the days ahead. May Your Peace that passes all understanding be supernaturally revealed to them and the many family members and friends affected by this loss. May Your mercy and grace touch this wounded Iredell County Sheriff’s Deputy as he has non-life-threatening injuries and restore him to full health. We are thankful the suspect in Idaho and in North Carolina are no longer a threat. May You fill the investigators in Chicago with wisdom and insight to be able to locate and arrest the suspect for the murder of their officer. May the comfort and presence of Your Holy Spirit especially settle upon the men and women of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office, Chicago Police Department and the Iredell County Sheriff’s Department and sustain them with Your arms of loving kindness. May these words bring comfort to those in need, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” As we know traumatic incidents like these can affect the lives of so many officers and co-workers, we ask Your Holy Spirit to settle upon the heart and mind of anyone who has been traumatized and preserve their mind, body and spirit in Your Arms of Love. May they be kept from enduring any short-term or long-term emotional trauma. May anyone struggling emotionally or spiritually know Your word says, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” And, “I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” In the coming days as the men and women of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office and the Chicago Police begin to prepare a final farewell for their fallen comrades, may You use this solemn ceremony to point anyone grieving unto the love of Your Son, Jesus. May many examine their hearts and be drawn to the love of Jesus and receive his forgiveness and eternal life. May You bring about good from this loss. And as a result of this tragedy, may You raise up Godly officers and chaplains to reach out and point many to the Cross of Christ, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
