22. Emergency Workers
Whether they’re on patrol, investigating incidents, or doing paperwork at the station, God has called them to work for the protection and the wellbeing of us all.
Thank God for the work of the ambulance, police and fire service. Thank Him that they are willing to do a job that is often sacrificial and challenging. Pray for the safety of our town.
Pray for Revd. Dick Johnson the area chaplain for both the police and fire and rescue services in this area.
The following prayer items are based on prayer requests from the Christian Police Association:
Pray for a dramatic reduction in crime in Bromsgrove. Pray that God would break any strongholds, and bring peace. Pray that people do not need to call on the emergency services for help.
Pray for healing and peace for people who have been victims of, or affected by, crime, accidents or fire. Ask God for a new sense of safety and hope. Pray that their experience would turn them towards God and not drive them away from him.
Pray for a change of heart in offenders. Pray that they would come to know God’s love for them and find purpose in their lives. Pray that God would set them free from habitual and destructive behaviour patterns. And that there would be positive role models to get alongside them. Ask that God would help them turn their lives around.
Pray for Police and Crime Commissioners, all Chief Officers and all in leadership in your local police, fire and ambulance services as they make strategic and day to day decisions - often under pressure.
Thank God for the positive relationship that emergency workers have in many communities. Pray for relationships with communities and groups who find it hard to trust the police. Pray that God would bring down barriers and build bridges.
Pray for emergency workers in their time off – for their marriages and families and that they would be able to manage their work/life balance effectively. Pray for support and healing for those who have experienced traumatic situations in their work and find it hard to deal with them.
