I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we live in a fallen world so we understand that there will be lawlessness. We pray for safety for all law enforcement officers as they have the difficult job of trying to maintain order.

Attorney General William Barr is calling out district attorneys who fail to fully protect police officers by not enforcing laws on resisting arrest.

“One of the things that has distressed me in recent years has been this attitude that it’s OK to resist police officers,” Barr said Thursday in Miami at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Officer Safety and Wellness Symposium.

“The officer needs to be able to go home to his or her family that night, and should not be required to risk their lives unduly,” Barr continued. “But a lot of these laws are not being enforced, there are a number of DA’s that have stopped enforcing resistance laws.”

Barr, whose comments were met with applause, also argued that “there is a time and a place to raise your concerns or complain, but resistance is unacceptable.”

Heavenly Father, Praise, honor, glory to you as You honor prayers, and overcome evil with “good”. Thank you for new legislation which upholds the laws that protect our community and nation. Thank you for courage of Attorney General Barr using his office to bring safety and order to our communities. Thank you for honest and courageous police officers who risk their lives for their communities. Protect our Attorney General, our police force across the nations, and bless those in our court system who also face abuse and criticism as they uphold the laws which protect us. Thank you for appointing honest district attorneys. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Father remove those DAs who refused to do what is right and just according to our laws. Replace them with men and women who will. Protect our Police Officers and their families. In Jesus’ Name Amen!

As long as our (supposed) leaders get away with breaking the law, it will filter down into the general public, and that is Bible! Ecclesiastes 8:11 When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, the hearts of the people are filled with schemes to do wrong. (NIV) Let’s not complain to much unless you have done all to bring the ruthless ungodly leaders to heel.
Father I pray for all mankind, that they would come to their senses and believe on You, for it is You and only You who sets the human heart right.

Father I pray against the spirit of lawlessness attacking our nation. I pray that you would touch district attorneys so they may see the chaos affects their communities. Thank you for those district attorneys who work for peace and justice. Give them favor in their jobs.
