DILEMMA

Someone once told me that whenever he hears a siren he pauses for a few moments and offers a prayer in which he calls to Heaven's attention the emergency situation and solicits divine protection of behalf of whomever the vehicle is heading for as well as the driver of said vehicle (or vehicles as the case may be) which struck me as an admirable thing to do and so tried it a few times myself wondering if it did any good for the people involved or if it merely made me feel virtuous and also if in the case of a police car chasing a perpetrator I should pray for his escape or his capture (or hers as the case may be).
