God of Justice, I am grateful for the lives and sacrifices of all America’s Peace Officers. They died serving us. Help us never forget. Help us celebrate their lives and honor their sacrifices. Be with the families of these fallen peace officers. Comfort them and give them Your strength and peace. Guide us as we seek to take care of the families of these fallen heroes. May we care for them with integrity. In commemorating the deaths of these fallen heroes, help us also to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition from this earthly life to the heavenly life yet to come. This assurance was guaranteed to all believers upon the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to that life to come with joy and anticipation. Thank You, Lord God, for hearing this prayer. In the mighty and holy name of Christ Jesus, Your dear Son, I pray. Amen.

“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]

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” [John 3:16 ESV]

We pray for the soul of this young officer, for his family and for his friends as they mourn for him. It is a terrible thing that neither the world nor his family will ever know what great things that he might have accomplished in this world and on the job, as well as the lives he might have touched in a positive way as a Police Officer. We are confident that even now he has taken his special place of Honor along with the other fallen Officers, Sheriffs, Agents and Troopers in our Lord's Honor Guard. It is time for Law Enforcement Administrators across the nation to re-evaluate the unrealistic training programs inflicted upon existing and aspiring police officers that are killing them. POST Training should NOT be the Marines and it should not have all of the yelling and degrading of officers and applicants, and it should not have elements that can take their lives. Any degrading or hazing by Cadre Officers must cease at once so that young men do NOT die needlessly before they even get an opportunity to be shot at.
