23 rd Psalm for Law Enforcement
By Tom Bradley
18 December 2007


The Lord is our leader, he provides all our needs.

He gives us comfort, in life’s still moments.

He renews our spirits; He guides us through safe paths, all in His Holy name.

Even as we walk, drive or fly through the streets of evil, we fear no harm, for He is with us.

His rod and His staff look over and protect us. They bring us peace of mind.

You prepare a feast of love before us, even in the face of the evil ones.

You anoint our heads with Your wisdom; Your discernment leads us in safety.

Only Your goodness and love pursues us, for all the days of our mission.

Surely we shall dwell in Your heavenly Kingdom, keeping Your faith in our hearts for ever.
God's golden streets of heaven are your new beat brother, no more forces of evil to face, only loving and rightous children of God. Rest in peace.
In Christ, Tom Bradley, Arizona State Chaplain FOP

The following is a Fallen Officer's Prayer that was found while a Pueblo Police Officer visited the N.Y.P.D. Museum & Ground Zero in 2005 Officer's Prayer

Fallen Officer’s Prayer

I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me.
My Name For All Eternity.
Recorded Here At This Hallowed Place.
Alas, My Name, No More My Face.
'In The Line of Duty' I Hear Them Say.
My Family Now The Price To Pay.
My Folded Flag Stained With Their
Tears.
We Only Had Those Few Short Years.
The Badge No Longer On My Chest.
I Sleep Now In Eternal Rest.
My Sword I Pass To Those Behind And
Pray They Keep This Thought In Mind.
I Never Dreamed It Would Be Me.
And With A Heavy Heart And Bended
Knee, I Ask For All Here From The
Past...
Dear God, Let My Name Be The Last.
So sorry for you loss, and hope these few words will help all who new DS McDonald,to make it through the dark times ahead
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
