Traditional Police Officer’s Prayer

O Almighty God, whose great power and eternal wisdom embraces the universe, watch over all members of our law enforcement community. Protect them from harm in the performance of their duty. Help them keep our streets and homes safe, day and night. Grant them strength, courage, and wisdom in their daily assignments, and unite them safely with their families after duty has ended. Amen. [1]

Prayer for Protection and DiscernmentLord, as police officers patrol our streets, may You guide them, hold them, and strengthen them. Please give them wisdom for the decisions they face and courage to handle the perils before them. Guard their minds, bodies, and hearts. Help them to invoke their training, stay calm in uncertainty, and remember their purpose to protect and serve. Amen. [1, 2]St. Michael the Archangel PrayerSt. Michael is the patron saint of law enforcement.
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander about the world for the ruin of souls. Amen. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]You can find more inspirational readings and printable scripture cards on resources like Loving Life at Homeor explore additional petitions on Pray.com.
