Father God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ , just like is written in Psalm 91 We pray to abide under your shadow, release your angels to encamp around and protect the highways of California, all the hard working people who drive through these highways. We thank you Lord for the service of the real police and firefighters ( those who get up every day to serve and protect) those who still work with integrity, justice, and righteousness. Protect them Lord and guide their decisions at every moment. Thank you for the lives of these brave men. We plead the blood of Jesus over California, their leaders, the territory and all the hard-working people living here in California. in the mighty name of Jesus Christ . Amen!
