Heavenly Father, so many of America's Peace Officers, who are on the front lines to protect us, never make it back home to their families. I now pray for America's fallen peace officers, O Lord, who gave their lives for us. I pray for the families of these fallen heroes, who have to now endure life without their loved ones. Heavenly Father, society tries to move forward, but there is always bloodshed occurring. I now approach Your Throne of Mercy and Grace to beg of You for peace, not the peace of this world, but Your divine peace. O Lord, bring peace to this land - the United States of America. I plead for Your divine intervention to quiet our hearts and unify our communities. Stop the violence and lawlessness that is occurring in the cities of our great nation. I thank You for all the American Peace Officers who have died protecting us, and ask that You send an everlasting peace so that America's Peace Officers on the streets may be safe and return home to their loved ones at the end of their assigned shifts. In Christ Jesus' mighty and holy Name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, as I watch America's Peace Officers bravely succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, it becomes increasingly difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Currently, our communities are exploding with tension, violence, and lawlessness. In light of the American Peace Officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of grief and strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy Name, and by Your authority, I pray. Amen.

You put yourself in harm's way to protect others. This man will be found and held accountable for what he has done, to honor you and your family for your sacrifices. They are not forgotten nor are they in vain. Praying for your family. While you have left this Earth you are still with them always. Rest easy brother, we have the watch from here.

Thank you for your 5 years of commitment to law enforcement service, to your family, and to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
