Lord, I ask for courage...
Courage to face and conquer my own fears.
Courage to take me where others will not go.
I ask for strenth,
Strength of body to protect others,
Strength of spirit to lead others.
I ask for dedication,
Dedication to my job,
to do it well.
Dedication to my community,
to keep it safe.
Give me, Lord, concern for all those who trust me
and compassion for those who need me.
And please, Lord, through it all,
be at my side.

Amen.
