Dear Prayer Team Member,

READ NOW in A SACRED LEGACY OF PRAYER.

Thank you for praying with us. Here is your Daily Prayer Briefing.

THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

President Donald Trump's second phase of the Gaza ceasefire is being implemented with the establishment of the Board of Peace. This board will supervise the 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee, which will manage the day-to-day governance of post-war Gaza.

US and Israel flags

Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg is wrapping up his trip to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Israel.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For Secretary of State Rubio and all U.S. diplomatic personnel to be discerning in their engagements with foreign ministers and heads of state.
  • For President Trump to be led by God in his efforts to end foreign and domestic conflicts.
  • For the president to seek the Lord's wisdom as he chairs the Board of Peace.
