National Day of Prayer for Law Enforcement

Today, on the National Day of Prayer for Law Enforcement, we come together to ask for blessings, wellness, and protection for our officers. We know the situations they so often encounter, which challenge the mind, body and spirit, and we humbly pray for calm, effective, responses for all who serve. May the principles of integrity and character guide everything they do, carrying out the work done by the strong who choose to take up the badge, but which is so widely criticized by many. May the armor of righteousness shield and guard our officers from attacks and insults, so they may navigate through each day knowing they upheld the oaths taken, and bring honor to their department.

We pray for an end to the culture of hate which has infiltrated our society; an awakening to the evil perpetuated by those who stir up dissent, cause strife, and target those on the front lines. We pray that these individuals come to a realization of their actions and behavior which puts lives at risk, and serves only to tear down one another.

We ask that God touch hearts, bring clarity and healing to our communities, especially to our leaders who have the power to advocate for responsibility over blame, right over lawlessness, and accountability over apathy. We pray their eyes may be opened to the need for change in our communities and neighborhoods, and that instead of promoting anger and resentment, they instead stand up for what is needed rather than what is popular.


May each of our law enforcement officers find healing from traumatic situations, injuries, and the constant stress they face daily. We pray that wellness, communication and outreach efforts continue to be launched which supports them in every element of their work, so no one feels they are struggling alone. May each and every one of our heroes on the front lines be safe today and in the days to come.




Amen.

Today we join our hearts and minds in praying for those on the front lines. While we can do little to keep police officers from harm during their daily shifts and nighttime patrols, we can each bow our heads and humbly ask for God to watch over them as they go forth each day.
