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, friends, and comrades 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. Thank You, Lord God, for hearing this prayer. In the mighty and holy name of the Lord Christ Jesus, and by His Power, His Authority, and His Sacrificial Blood, I believe and pray for America’s Fallen Peace Officers and all those left behind. Amen.
God’s Mission for Law Enforcement:
The Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans in a Letter: “For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So, if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose.” (Romans 13:3-4 TLB)
Please find Encouragement, Comfort, Support, and Hope from the following Scripture Verses found in ‘NLT FCPO Edition’ of the Holy Bible:
[Jesus taught]: “God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” (Matthew 5:9)
[Jesus taught]: “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)
[Jesus taught]: “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)
“Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)
“Jesus told her [Martha], “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.” (John 11:25)
“Hate evil and love what is good; turn your courts into true halls of justice.” (Amos 5:15a)
“For he [God] will order his angels [Michael the Archangel and his angels] to protect you wherever you go.” (Psalm 91:11)
“Then there was war in heaven. Michael [the Archangel] and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven. This great dragon, the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world, was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.” (Revelation 12:7-9)
