I pray for the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen Law Enforcement Officer. May they find comfort and hope in the following verses, of God’s promises, found in the Holy Scriptures:

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]

”Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” [Psalm 23:4 ESV]

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 ESV]
