Our Merciful Lord, we come boldly before Your Throne of Grace to lift up the men and women of the Blount County Sheriff’s Department as they are in deep mourning at the loss of Deputy Greg McCowan and for wounded Deputy Shelby Eggers. As Deputy Eggers is being treated at a local hospital, may You grant the medical staff wisdom and insight to continue to treat and restore her to full health. As the families of both officers have been deeply affected, may Your love, grace, peace, mercy and comfort be with them as You carry them through this dark valley. May they know Your word says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” As the suspect escaped, may You, Lord, grant the investigators wisdom to locate and arrest the suspect. May You cause the suspect to be filled with confusion and guilt-ridden. And if he tries to harm any other peace officers may You surround them with your angels and may you cause his weapon to malfunction should he try to use it. So Lord, surround the men and women of the Blount County Sheriff’s Department with Your Protecting Arms as they mourn the loss of one of their colleagues. May they all be drawn unto the love of Your Son and may every law enforcement officer know that whosoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. O’ Lord, place a thirst for Your Son in the hearts of every law enforcement officer and every citizen in Tennessee. May they intimately know Your word says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” As this incident is being investigated, grant the investigators wisdom and insight to gather all of the facts and prevent any future incidents like this. May Your amazing grace and love be poured out upon those grieving and mourning. May Your amazing grace ring true in the hearts of the family of Deputy McCowan. As we know this loss has deeply affected countless law enforcement officers in and around Tennessee, may Your Amazing Grace, presence and comfort touch their hearts and prevent them from enduring any long-term emotional trauma. In the coming days as the men and women of the Blount County Sheriff’s Department begin the task to prepare a final farewell for Deputy McGowan, may You raise up Godly officers, chaplains and others to be a Light to those in need. May Your Holy Spirit touch the hearts of many whose hearts are empty and are searching for truth. May many know You told us that You are the Way, the Truth and the Life, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
