Dear Prayer Team Member,

You and your faithfulness are the reason we continue in ministry each day. You are the prayer team. We thank God each and every day that you are our prayer partner.

This month, we're grateful to begin welcoming members from our legacy Daily Prayer Briefing email. Whether you've been opening this updated format for weeks now or you're opening it for the very first time, we're thankful you're with us.

Your faithful prayers continue to be a sustaining strength for this ministry, lifting up our President, our leaders, and our nation day after day. For many of you, these briefings have long been a trusted companion in your time of intercession. May this refreshed format that brings Scripture, imagery, prayer points, and timely guidance together in one place continue to bless you.

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

THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

The U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has launched a website to confidentially receive tips on fraud, money laundering, and sanctions violations.

"President Trump has been clear that Americans have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. "At Treasury, we follow the money. We did it with the mafia, we have done it with the cartels, and we're doing it with the Somali fraudsters."

The Treasury Department explained, "FinCEN's Office of the Whistleblower is accepting tips involving violations and conspiracies related to the Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. sanctions programs, and several other laws critical to safeguarding the U.S. financial system and national security. Individuals who provide information may be eligible for awards if their tip leads to a successful enforcement action."

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For Secretary Bessent to be discerning as he oversees Treasury Department efforts to address fraud, money laundering, and sanctions violations.
  • For FinCEN officials as they review whistleblower tips and follow up with investigations.
  • For wisdom for President Trump and members of his administration as they work to prevent fraud and theft of taxpayer dollars.
