Roane County Rescue Squad Prayer

Lord, prepare us to be a rescuer as You have rescued us.
When the call comes out, night or day, equip us to be ready in a moment’s notice.

Let us be ready to serve our community as we serve You.
Lord, lay the groundwork for our training as You are our foundation. Let us cling
unto our skills, so that it may bring You glory. When our patients see no hope, let
us bring aspiration.

When they have no voice, let us be their cry.
Let our minds be steadfast, our feet ready to move, our hands ready to give, and
our hearts be pure as you have shown to us.

Make our tools as an instrument of
Your hands and our vehicles a beacon in the night, as You are a light into our path.
As we return, let us know that we have done Your work, and we give You all the glory
and praise.

In Jesus Name,
Amen
