Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Thank you for your sacrifice for our nation. May you be with the Lord and may he be with your family.

God of Justice, I am grateful for the lives and sacrifices of all America’s Peace Officers. They died serving us. Help us never forget. Help us celebrate their lives and honor their sacrifices. Be with the families of these fallen peace officers. Comfort them and give them Your strength and peace. Guide us as we seek to take care of the families of these fallen heroes. May we care for them with integrity.

In commemorating the deaths of these fallen heroes, help us also to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition from this earthly life to the heavenly life yet to come. This assurance was guaranteed to all believers upon the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to that life to come with joy and anticipation.

Finally, O Lord, if You are willing, have Your warrior servant, Michael the Archangel, God’s Defender and Protector Against Evil, who successfully defeated Satan and his fallen angels in heavenly battle because of his unwavering faith and courage, according to the Book of Revelation Chapter 12, welcome America’s Fallen Peace Officers into Your Eternal Light and comfort their loved ones and all those left behind who mourn. Thank You, Lord God, for hearing this prayer. In the mighty and holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by His Power, Authority, and Sacrificial Blood, I believe and pray. Amen.
