First responders are the first point of contact when there is a crisis. They are trained to rescue lives, and properties, restore peace and prevent the breakdown of law and order in society. Their assignment in society is such that requires a whole lot physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
While they may be well remunerated, we also need to uphold them spiritually. It is pertinent to remember them with some prayers in our closet to uphold them. So, here are prayer points for the first responders;
