I joined thousands to remember and celebrate the life of Harris County Deputy Darren Goforth who was murdered at a gas station. I didn't know Deputy Goforth or his family, but I wanted to show my support for them and the law enforcement community. I went to pray, and to stand against evil. My friend, Beth, and I sat in the midst of blue...law enforcement officers in front of us, behind us, beside us. It was a solemn, sacred, holy experience. We were reminded evil will not win. It was a message of hope and healing. Please remember our law enforcement officers in your prayers.
Father God, thank you for our law enforcement officers who risk their lives to protect and serve our communities. Bless them with wisdom, discernment, favor, and good judgment. Keep them under your shelter of protection. Give these men and women strength and courage as they face danger. Protect them from harm. At the end of their shifts, may each officer return home safely. Protect and provide for the needs of their families. Bless them with good health and prosperity.
Loving and gracious God, you are near to those who are brokenhearted and crushed in spirit. As Houston mourns the loss of Deputy Darren Goforth, comfort his grieving family and the law enforcement community. Surround them with your love and peace.
Lord God, heal our nation. Restore civility and respect for authority. Help us, Lord, to live in peace and unity. Remind us to support and encourage those who wear the badge. Deliver us from evil. I offer this prayer in the name of your Son, Jesus, the Light of the world, and the Prince of Peace. Amen.
