Heavenly Father, You are Compassionate and Merciful. None of America’s Peace Officers leave home without the fear of not returning at the end of their watch. It is a fear that is lived daily. Unfortunately, the worst does sometimes come to pass, and lives are left shattered. Lord God, bless and keep the hearts and souls of those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty. Wipe away the tears from their eyes. Soothe their pain and bind up their emotional wounds through the wounds of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In His name, I pray. Amen.

Please find Comfort, Support, and Hope from the following Scripture Verses from the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Christian Holy Bible:

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9],

“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],

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13],

“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], and

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4].

So sorry for the loss to your family and friends. I lost my husband when I was 26. He was 29. Wish I could say it gets easier but I will carry this for the rest of my life to honor the last of his life. I remarried and had children but there remains a hole in my heart for everting he missed.
