Police Officer Prayer
God bless my family when I am away,
Leave the lights on I'll return from harms way,

Grant me courage and strength to protect others each day,
So they live in peace without worry, fear or dismay,

Bless those who have fallen given their life for another
May their spirit live on from then and forever,

Return me home to my family at the end of each night,
May I pass through the door before the morning's first light,

Shall I give my life for another before the dawn breaks today,
God bless my family when I am away.

By
D. Adams

Lord I ask for courage

Courage to face and
Conquer my own fears...

Courage to take me
Where others will not go...

I ask for strength

Strength of body to protect others
And strength of spirit to lead others...

I ask for dedication

Dedication to my job, to do it well
Dedication to my community
To keep it safe...

Give me Lord, concern
For others who trust me
And compassion for those who need me...

And please Lord

Through it all
Be at my side...

(Prayer of a Police Officer Wife)
A Hallowed Prayer
Our father who art in heaven
be not silent unto me.
Hear the words of my prayer
as I lift up my heart to thee.

My Lord, my God, please protect this man
give him the strength to do all that he can.
Give him the understanding he'll need every day
bless him with patience in every way.

Give him the courage, the will to survive
all the unhappiness in so many lives.
Oh Dear Father up above
give him all thy heavenly love.
