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