A Prayer for Sergeant Michael Smith:
Lord God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Sergeant Michael Smith, of the Dallas, Texas Police Department, was taken from us suddenly and violently in the Line-of-Duty. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the Cross. Heavenly Father, as we mourn the death of our Brother-in-Blue, Sergeant Michael Smith, show us the immense power of your goodness and strengthen our belief that he has entered into Your presence. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
"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. Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should." [Romans 13:3-5 TLB]
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]
“Greater love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13 ESV]

Brother, you're a hero. Clearly, we run towards danger. That's what we are here for. Thank you sir, for putting your life for others, and showing this great nation that we Law Enforcement Officers, from the streets to the prisons, from the mountains to the sea, from Hawaii to Puerto Rico, you and your fallen brothers showed everybody that even people criticize us, we protect them even giving our life.
