It continually amazes me as people call for defunding of our police and yet when they have an issue, they call the police. Cities that have removed the money for law enforcement from their budget are now putting it back in.
Why? Because a land without police is a land run amok. It allows lawlessness to thrive unchallenged.
That is the battle we face right now.
Recent reports show that at least 20% of law enforcers have left the profession because of the danger and abuse that has been hurled at them. Who can blame them?
Let us lift them up this week in prayer along with all First Responders who continually put their lives in jeopardy to protect and help others.
Father, we pray this week over police officers, sheriffs, deputies, all law enforcement and first responders. Thank you Lord for your angels that are encamped round about them. Keep them safe from harm, from attack, from accidents, from discouragement. Let them know that they are valuable and valued.
We pray for any in law enforcement who have given the profession a bad name. For those who are corrupt, who have taken bribes, who stir up division, who misuse and abuse their authority, who laugh at the down-trodden, who align with and help thieves or kowtow to them, Lord may they either repent, change and become officers of integrity, or may they be removed and exposed now. We know they are not the majority. Lord we pray that you would restore trust and the good name of those who got into this profession as a call because they want to help and protect.
We also pray for the families of our law enforcement and first responders. We pray peace for their hearts, protection and blessing upon them both financially, emotionally and physically for the sacrifices they make as well. Bless them Lord.
We pray that those who have devised destruction, attacks and harm against our law enforcement officers and first responders to be recipients of their own destruction. That any
curses and actions of harm would boomerang back onto them. We pray that their efforts to harm, destroy and kill are bound in the name of Jesus. We declare their efforts null and void.
Wake up those who still don’t understand the intentional destructive nature of Antifa, BLM, Black Panthers, ACORN, Hamas etc. Continue to expose them for who they are.
EXPOSE. EXPOSE. EXPOSE.
Lord we pray for your angelic host to protect our nation, our law-abiding officers—our cities. Lord, you see their evil intent to remove the protections in place for law-abiding citizens. As Trump said, “They’re coming after me because I’m fighting for you.”
We know and can see how true that statement was. Now they seek to remove the police, our guns and anything that would enable us to fight back against their evil intent. BUT GOD!
Thank you Lord that You see, You know, and as we call on You, that you hear our prayers and will protect us, our law enforcement and our nation.
We declare turn around in Jesus’ name. Amen
PS—Please mark your calendars for Sunday, June 13 for the Day of Prayer and Appreciation for Law Enforcement!
