2011 National Day of Prayer

We’d like to invite you to participate in the National Day of Prayer for Law Enforcement Officers on Friday, June 17. To date (June 7), 80 law enforcement officers have been killed in the line of duty in this country in 2011. That means there are 80 sets of families, friends, and coworkers who have been left in grief and sadness. To honor these heroes, we are asking people of all faiths and all walks of life to come together and pray for the officers still working the streets.

As law enforcement family members, we pray every day that our officers return home safely. We cry at the news of another fallen officer. And, we reach out to the law enforcement community around us for support and reassurance. Now we are asking the community around us to do the same. Please make a commitment to support your law enforcement officers and their families. Please set aside some time on Friday, June 17 to stand united in prayer for our men and women in blue. Please spread word of this campaign to your family, friends, coworkers, and places of worship.

If you can, schedule a time to come together at your city hall, a local park, or your place of worship and pray together. Raise your voice to lift up our heroes in prayer. Give your time to help strengthen the law enforcement community and ask that each officers comes home safely each day. Show our officers that you appreciate the sacrifices they make to protect and serve you and your family.

    What a fantastic idea and a great way for all of us to remember our fallen heroes and their families. Like you say, our LEO’s need all the support we can give them. Why not the support of their Father in Heaven. That is the strongest support I can think of for them but also for each of us. We all need more time with our Lord.

    I started something this morning after the death of a local sherriff in Upstate NY. I put the word remember on my sunvisor in my car, now whenever I get in my car I will say a prayer for our law enforcement officers and not only bless their souls but keep them safe.
