Prayers
for Our Firefighters
and Paramedics
 to Be With Me, Lord
Heavenly Father,
I pray for the firefighters and paramedics of our
nation. Thank You for their courage, dedication,
and commitment in serving all of the United
States. I thank You for their bravery and
willingness to sacrifice their own well-being and
many times risk their own lives in the service of
others.
I pray for their
protection. Keep them safe from harm and injury.
Give them Your wisdom and guidance when faced
with crucial decisions. Encourage and strengthen
them mentally, physically, emotionally, and
spiritually. Help them to overcome the stress and
hardships that accompany their occupation.
May Your
blessings be upon their hones and families. Give
their families peace, comfort, courage and
strength to cope with the sacrifices that are
required.
I pray people
everywhere would take time to pray for and
personally give a word of encouragement and
support to the rescue workers of their community.
God, bless the rescue workers of America. Amen.
Almighty God,
protector of all, Your strength, power, and
wisdom are a beacon of light to all: Give special
guidance to firefighters so that they may be
protected from harm while performing their duty.
Help them with
Your loving care while they work to save the
lives and property of all people, young and old.
Give them the courage, the alertness to protect
our neighbors and all others whom they are
pledged to aid when involved in fire or accident.
Amen.
