Almighty God, you lend your strength to all those who are there for us in times of crisis, fear, and hurt. We pray that you give courage, Lord to our police and to all our first responders who continue to do this important work they are called to do, looking beyond the risk for the sake of those who need your help and protection. We give you thanks for the many ways they give of themselves, their skills, knowledge and help in troubling times. Protect them, O Lord, and give them the wisdom to carry out their duties. Extend your shielding hand over them and comfort their hearts when they are tired and heartbroken.
God, we also lift up prayers of thanksgiving and comfort for the families of the police and the first responders and all who support them. Give them hope and courage. Surround them with your loving presence and give them peace when their loved ones run toward uncertainty. We pray this blessings in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
