Today, I was attending a Below 100 training and the program started with the announcement that you were rushed to the hospital. Shortly after that announcement I learned that you did not survive. The training really hit home with the class today. Trooper Pratt, please know that you, your family, and coworkers are in my thoughts and prayers.

A Prayer for Trooper Timothy P. Pratt:
Lord God, you are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Trooper Timothy P. Pratt, of the New York State Police, 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, Trooper Timothy P. Pratt, 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.
“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs." [Matthew 5:3-10 NLT]
"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]
"There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." [John 15:13 NLT]
"Well done, my good and faithful servant." [Matthew: 25:21 NLT]
