Our First Post (January 2021)

Thank you for taking the time to check out our first post. We appreciate your ongoing prayers for Police, law and order and civil discourse. We open each day with these issues in our prayers. When a Line of Duty Death (LODD) occurs, we are alerted, usually within 24 hours or less. It is then that we pray specifically for the fallen Officer’s family and loved ones.

James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction…

I think James does a great job of summing up why we are doing this. God wants people to look after orphans and widow(er)s in their affliction, plain and simple. And we hope you will come along side us and pray for these issues as well. We believe God is responsive to prayer and that prayer is the best place to start anything. At Donation Trackers / Citizens for Cops we do are best to approach God in prayer with humility, respect and brutal honesty.

In this post as well as future posts in this blog, you’ll be able to find the basic information on Line of Duty Deaths (LODD) to help you know exactly who to pray for. Thank you again for praying with us. God bless you.
