As we approach this Thanksgiving season, a time of reflection and gratitude, we recognize and celebrate the diverse beliefs and perspectives that enrich our community. Our shared values of gratitude, service, and community bind us together, regardless of our individual paths of faith or philosophy.
In this spirit, we offer a Thanksgiving prayer, not only as a reflection of a particular faith tradition but as an expression of universal appreciation and respect for those who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting our community. Whether you join in this prayer or embrace a moment of thoughtful reflection, we invite you to stand with us in acknowledging the courageous commitment of our Cleveland police officers and first responders.
A THANKSGIVING PRAYER FOR OUR POLICE OFFICERS
Dearest Lord,
As we share our Thanksgiving meal, surrounded by the love of our families and friends, we look to you with hearts filled with gratitude for all your many blessings.
At times like these, with our minds and hearts open to your grace, we think about how protected we are here in our city. We thank you Lord.
We remember our Cleveland men and women in blue this day for their service. They are there for us always—day and night.
We often take our police officers for granted. These are the same police officers who leave home every day not knowing whether they will return to their families.
Let us pray for all police officers. May they continue to serve you, Lord, as guardians of our great city and stewards of public safety.
We pray for our community and for your help, Lord, in bringing our community closer to our law enforcement community. Together we will make Cleveland a better, safer place for all.
God bless us all on this Thanksgiving Day. And thank you for the gift of police officers and all first responders in our area.
