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.

Lord God, You are the Light, the Love, and the Life. The ultimate example has been shown to us through the work and ministry of Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, in daily life, You raise civil servants in our nation, the United States of America, who also lay down their lives for the protection of others. We magnify You, Lord God, for continuing to show us what it looks like to serve and suffer in a redemptive manner. Help us to put into practice the example of America’s Fallen Peace Officers in our own lives, so that their sacrifices may not be in vain.

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. In Christ Jesus’ mighty and holy Name, and by His Power, Authority, and Sacrificial Blood, I believe and pray. Amen.
