Romans 13 vrs 1-4

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

Saint Michael Protect Us

Dear Lord, be with me when I am on duty this day and every day.

Let me be kindly to the old, and to the young be strong; but let me triumph over those whose acts are cruel or wrong.

Lord, when my own last summons comes and I stand in your court, may my rest with you be long and my punishment be short.
Amen.

A Police Officer’s Prayer

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…
