A Prayer for Monday, July 18, 2016

Police

O God,

Thank you for those who try to keep us safe by enforcing the law.

The recent shootings of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge have made us more aware than usual of the dangers law enforcement officials face.

Bless the families, friends, and fellow officers of the officers who were killed or injured in those incidents. Give them the grace, faith, and courage they need for these days. Help the communities where the shootings occurred to deal with their trauma in hopeful, positive, and healing ways.

Protect all of the officers who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting their communities.

Remind us to appreciate and encourage them.

Amen.
