Reflections for Police Officer Arthur Lopez
Sir, Praying that you find rest in the presence of the Lord.
To Your Family,
Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.
Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for 20 months. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

We will never understand why such good people can suffer at the hands of repeat offenders. We must trust that god has a special place for you and those like you that have given everything to protect and serve while trying to bring evil to justice. We can never thank you enough. God please lesson the pain of his family and comrades as they trudge on from here.
God Bless.
