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 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 those who trust me

And compassion for those who need me

And please, Lord, through it all,

Be at my side.
