A Policema ns Prayer
Another day, Lord to do my work,unsure of what lies ahead.
It may hold the chance to help those in need,and that would be my desire.
I pray that you will empower me to be apeacemaker to all I come in contact with.
To the helpless, may I be a helper,to the distressed, may I be a comfort.
To those who plan evil, may I be a deterrent,and to those who have carried out their plans
may I be a sword of justice so they will no longerprey on the weak and hurting.
I humbly ask that you surround me with your angels,and a wall of fire for protection.
And if, in the course of your plan,I find this day to be my last,
the concern of my life is that you would bethe Father to my children and,
the provider to my wife.
In Jesus name, Amen
