Heavenly Father, You are Compassionate and Merciful. None of America's Peace Officers leave home without the fear of not returning at the end of their watch. It is a fear that is lived daily. Unfortunately, the worst sometimes come to pass, and lives are left shattered. Lord God, bless and keep the hearts and souls of those who have lost loved ones in the Line-of-Duty. Wipe away the tears from their eyes. Soothe their pain and bind up their emotional wounds through the wounds of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus' mighty and holy name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

Scripture of Comfort and Hope:

During His Sermon on the Mount, the Lord Jesus Christ made the following promise, "Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God." [Matthew 5:9 ESV]
