A Prayer for Law Enforcement Officers

God, please guide these men and women who serve as your ministers in the community.

Uphold...
. Their fortitude in the face of pressure
. Their integrity in the face of temptations
. Their safety in the face of dangers
. Their focus and responses in the face of challenges
. Their honor in the face of people who are not honorable
. Their mission in the face of discouragements, disrespect and
distraction.
. Their homes in the face of all that can polarize.

Enable them to fulfill the high standards they have set for themselves and strive to maintain, for the good of the community, the honor of the department and the glory of your Name. Amen.
