The following is the invocation I shared at yesterday’s Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association Executive Board Meeting.
Dear God,
We thank you today for this opportunity to gather in the spirit of law enforcement leadership. We ask for guidance as we carry out our leadership roles in this association.
Specifically today we pray for safety and protection. As we enter this holiday season we ask that our members and their families enjoy a safe season as they travel and enjoy the holidays. We also ask that you protect our public safety professionals on the streets as they protect our communities during this season of celebrations and hazardous weather.
Bless the food we receive today as nourishment for our bodies, the information presented as nourishment for our minds and the fellowship we share as nourishment for our souls.
Amen
