Our Merciful Lord, this week has been especially difficult for law enforcement across America. Our hearts are again broken as we mourn with the men and women of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department in this tragic loss of Deputy Lorin Readmond. Lord, we come boldly yet humbly into Your presence, again, to ask for Your amazing mercies, grace and peace to settle upon the entire Montgomery County Sheriff's Department as they are in shock from this tragic loss. We also want to lift up a second seriously injured deputy and ask You to guide the doctor’s hands and mind to diagnose and treat this injured deputy. We also seek Your mercy, grace and healing touch to continue to be poured out upon these three Washington D.C. police officers who suffered non life-threatening wounds last week. We thank You, Lord, for sparing their lives as they continue to recover from their wounds. As we know the hearts of so many are grieving deeply in Montgomery County, we ask for Your presence to made known in their hearts and minds and may they be drawn ever so close to Your side and sense Your peace for we know You are the God of all Comfort. May Your awesome presence, grace, mercy, love and comfort especially touch the family of Deputy Rivette who are grieving and mourning greatly. May You grant the investigators wisdom and insight in order to reconstruct the collision and to determine the facts. May You raise up chaplains, Godly deputies and others to be an example of Your spiritual strength in this very difficult loss. Lord, as we know many co-workers and friends are feeling this terrible loss in their heart, we know You are the healer of the broken-hearted for Your Word says that you will always be a, “shield about us and the Lifter of our Head.” Lord, as we know so many are experiencing this difficult loss of a friend (and the near loss of officers in Washington D.C.), we ask for Your presence to be made known in a way that only You can design. And as the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department will now be preparing a final farewell in the days to come, may You cause many law enforcement officers, friends and family members to be drawn unto the love of Your Son who said, “Peace I leave you, my peace I give you.” May You use this tragic loss to draw many unto the love of Your Son in whom there is forgiveness and everlasting life, this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
