A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, October 9th

Good Morning, God,

The headlines have been about the serious standoff situation in Hayesville last Saturday morning. Guns were involved. SWAT was called in. A command post was set up. A robot was deployed. The house was stormed. The suspect was taken into custody without gunfire. All ended as well as it could; as well as law enforcement could have hoped for, as they had trained for.

Heavenly father, we thank you for the wisdom and cool heads of our law enforcement people. Thank you for their constant physical training and psychological understanding. Continue to keep them safe as they face dangerous situations.

Gracious God, look with compassion upon the person causing all the commotion. May he come to know the whys and wherefores of his actions. May he get any help he needs to be healed from it. And, may he give the law enforcement thanks for his life.

Thank you, God, for the way this one turned out.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
