‘O God, Forsake Me Not: Care for First Responders’ — Spiritual Care Companion

This resource has been thoughtfully crafted to equip those who serve first responders in a chaplaincy role, offering spiritual care to those who serve our communities with courage and dedication.

Whether you are caring for police officers, firefighters, paramedics or other first responders, you bring the love of Christ into some of the darkest and most challenging moments these individuals face.

Resources included in this booklet include:

  • A collection of devotions tailored to the experiences and challenges of firefighters and police officers;
  • Theological reflections grounded in Lutheran doctrine to help you navigate topics as you provide spiritual care in complex and painful situations; and
  • Practical suggestions for prayers, Scripture readings and hymns for various civil ceremonies.
