EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 36: For Police and First Responders
First responders includes police, firemen, paramedics, and others who answer the call to help when emergencies happen. Danger is often a part of the job, but the goal is to help people, sometimes to save people. How much is the heart of Jesus demonstrated in these types of jobs? Give thanks to God for any first responders that you know and for all in general. Pray for God's protection over these men and women, and for faith and comfort for their families. Pray for their role against evil and in dealing with the brokenness of this world.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." - Matthew 5:9 ESV
"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer." - Romans 13:1–4 ESV
