Prayer for the HCSO Deputies

O Lord, I thank you for the privilege of living in a nation governed by the rule of law Romans 13. For that reason, I pray for all the men and women who serve as Sheriff Deputies and protect the citizens of Hendry County.

Please prosper their endeavors. Give them wisdom in crime prevention as well as prosecution. Bring persons of integrity and dedication to the Sheriff Office. Grace them to do their jobs efficiently and effectively.

Send Your Holy Spirit upon them, giving them insight and wisdom in the location and capture of desperate criminals. Grant them Your Divine intervention in finding kidnapped and lost persons. Help them in their searches and rescues, so that more people will be recovered safe and alive.

O Lord, I ask You to protect these Deputies at home and abroad. May they escape death and injury, and bring others to safety as well. Keep them healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually so that they not lose heart or weaken when faced with violent crime. Sustain them in the jobs they do.

Lord, also bless the families of these brave Deputies. Give them strength and understanding when their loved ones protect and serve the people of Hendry County. It is their unselfishness that allows them to share their family member with the community. I want to thank you also for all the love and support that they give the family member who serves as Deputies. Keep them all safe when they are left at home while their own Deputy or Police Officer is out protecting others in the community.

Amen.

Growing up in Opa-locka Florida I remember reading about Raul's weekily drug bust. In the 1980's Cocaine was big in South Florida and the place to buy it was in Opa-locka. Raul was the commander of the Drug team and he was always making head head lines. One acticle I remember was in Newsweek and showed Raul cleaning up the streets.

I could't believe it when I heard that Raul was running for Sheriff of Hendry County. I can assure you that your Streets will be safer with Raul running the show!!

Raul my family and I remember what you did for our community in Opa-locka and we wish you the best in Hendry County they will sleep better at night knowing that you are on the job.

God Bless You
