Words can't express the hurt I feel deep in my soul. Yet another Peacemaker has been taken from us in a senseless tragedy. Officer Rivera took the call to stand between us and danger. For that, I am eternally Grateful. Lord surround Her Daughter, Family, Fellow Officers and Friends in these days to come. This Blue Line these Heros walk is very thin. God Bless You All!!!

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Lord Jesus, as we watch America’s Peace Officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the peace officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, and by Your Authority, I pray. Amen.
Biblical Scripture Verses of Encouragement, Hope, and Comfort:
“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV];
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." [Psalm 23:4 ESV];
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God." [Matthew 5:9 ESV], and;
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." [Matthew 5:4 ESV].
