A Police Officer's Prayer

Lord how I thank you for keeping me safe today From dodging speeding bullets and cars going the wrong way The streets are so violent now and some people are blaming us But when they need our assistance we just listen as they fuss In the morning when I get up and prepare to do my job I may end up saving a life or be surrounded by a mob Lord I need your wisdom in each situation that I face Let me treat each person with respect regardless of their race Give me understanding and show me what to do In every situation may my heart reflect you Everyday I go to work help me to do my best Give me strength to do all I can and trust you to do the rest Amen
