Protecting Those Who Protect Us: First Responders

Whenever there’s any kind of accident, you can count on real-life heroes, otherwise known as first responders, arriving on the scene.

Every day, these brave men and women rush to every emergency call with the purpose of saving lives.

Many times, they’re at risk of losing their own as no two emergency calls are the same.

As a former TV reporter, I’ve seen firsthand what they can do.

Also, as an accident victim myself, I know the gratitude an injured person feels when first responders arrive to offer a helping hand, medical assistance, and reassuring words.

You can read my life-changing accident testimony here. 

When that accident happened, emergency personnel showed up within minutes to tend to the injured and help us search for our missing niece.

I don’t know what we would have done without all those wonderful rescuers by our side.

They spent hours combing through the back woods and searching along a dangerous whitewater creek.

It is the Heavenly Father who put a heart of service into these brave souls who serve as first responders.

Protecting those who protect us is on my heart today.

With that in mind, I offer this simple prayer as a “thank You” to God for them.

Protecting Those Who Protect Us: God Bless First Responders

Father God –

Today I want to offer a special prayer of gratitude for the many men and women who serve as first responders in our country.

Father – we know it is You who gave them a heart for serving others.

Each new day is an opportunity for them to face dangers in unpredictable circumstances.

No matter what type of emergency it is, these brave rescuers put their own lives on the line to come to our aid.

Please keep them safe as they travel to their next emergency call.

Father, we ask for your protection over them.

May they always feel the support and gratitude of our communities.

In Jesus name, Amen.
