POLICE ARE ORDAINED BY GOD. Romans 13:1-2 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. V2, Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation

I pray for the family for comfort and not let their hearts become bitter.
Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Officer Wilson, you were called by GOD by be a police officer. You went to protect others. John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
May God find favor in you.

IN MEMORY OF POLICE OFFICER ROBERT WILSON III

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Robert Wilson III:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some two hundred and sixty police officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Police Officer Robert Wilson III, of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Police Department; who was shot and killed in the line-of-duty on Thursday, March 5, 2015, as he and his partner interrupted an armed hold-up (robbery) at a video game store located at 2101 West Lehigh Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Police Officer Robert Wilson III. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Police Officer Robert Wilson III and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to remember to pay their law enforcement officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Robert Wilson III go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths.

Now, Police Officer Robert Wilson III, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.

Rest in Peace Officer Wilson , I am sure those that you have helped in your duty as a officer will miss you but will never forget you. To the Family, friends co-workers and all that knew Officer Robert Wilson my heart breaks for you all. While I was Stationed onboard the US Coast Guard Cutter Red Oak in the early 1980 which moved it's base to Philadelphia a few years after I Left the Coast Guard in 1982 I spent many hours looking from the Stern of our Cutter from the Jersey side next to the Walt Whitman bridge at night at the City of Philadelphia lit up and just memorized me for hours it was just something you must see to feel. I did not know Officer Wilson but I Know in his heart he was doing his part to keep what he most likely felt he could to protect and serve the great City of Philadelphia . I am sure he has helped many and only those he helped really know how grateful they were for his help, it's those that he will not help that will miss him the most they won't feel what the others did that he helped. He will live in our hearts now . Rest in Peace Officer Wilson, you have done your job well you will never be forgotten .

Days Go by and They go out and Serve and Protect. Why? Because they are a Special Breed of men and women who want to Help Out Our Society...They do not go out there day by day, night by night to kill anyone. They are always there to become the victims of the lowlife who walk the streets every day without a care in the world about law enforcement personell...I can without a doubt say that the police department in this city is the BEST in the world. The many,many services they perform, the untold stories from the streets, the compassion and respect for fellow human beings, alll of which remains the PPD. May Officer Wilson sit with the Lord and always be remembered for his Sacrafices, Amen May God Bless Every Police Officer Everywhere, Always...
