Changing Your City and the Fort Worth Police Department Partnering Together!Changing Your City and the Fort Worth Police Department Partnering Together!
Because of your dedication to uphold the rule of law, we are indebted to you. You willingly put your life on the line to keep us safe and free from danger from those who seek to kill, steal and destroy. We have created the following prayer especially for you. Within it lies the power to keep you and law-abiding people safe.
Our mission is to “mobilize Christians to unleash the power of peace to change their city.” This is exactly what will happen when you speak out our prayer before starting your shift. You will be unleashing the power of peace!
The Lord has given you peace to use as a weapon to combat all forms of hate, aggression and violence. As an officer of the peace, unleashing this peace can protect you and go before you in every circumstance you face.
Peace is found over 400 times in the Bible. In John 14, Jesus gave you His peace with the hope that you would use it to gain and maintain victory over your life and society. Most Christians aren’t aware that they can unleash Jesus’ peace to influence and cause change to establish His ways in society — but they can!
This is why we are making our prayer available to you. It focuses on three main scriptures that can be unleashed through you to keep you safe and to change your city!
As a Christian, you have been been given authority and the potential to bring your city from darkness into His light. As an officer of the law, every time you put on your uniform and start your shift, pray this prayer out loud and His peace will become a shield around you, giving you wisdom, and protecting you and those you serve.
Instead of reading the prayer like reading a book, speak it out loud. In Genesis 1, God did not create the world by thinking about it — He used words (Genesis 1 and Hebrews 11:3). Speaking out words is what changes things.
Speak this prayer out loud every time you start your shift:
Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace. Thank You for calling me to be an officer of Your Peace. Because of the authority You’ve given me, I unleash the power of peace over this city. As I begin my shift, I thank You for keeping me, my family, fellow officers and city safe.
Thank You that:
Holy Spirit, thank You for going before me to lead, guide, protect and open my eyes to clearly see the root cause of every situation I encounter.
In Jesus’ Name — Amen!
