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 Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) is investigating EPIC Real Properties, Inc., and Community Capital Partners, LP, for a planned Muslim housing development.

"It is deeply concerning, the East Plano Islamic Center may have violated the Fair Housing Act and participated in religious discrimination," said HUD Secretary Scott Turner. "As HUD Secretary, I will not stand for illegal religious or national origin discrimination in housing and will ensure that this matter receives a thorough investigation so that this community is open to all Texans."

The Texas Workforce Commission filed a HUD complaint due to marketing materials that described the development as an exclusively Muslim community, financial terms that required lot owners to subsidize a mosque and Islamic educational centers, and other discriminatory lot sales strategies.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For Secretary Turner to be led by the Lord as he oversees HUD and the investigation of religious discrimination.
  • For President Trump and members of his administration as they promote religious liberty.
  • For wisdom for the president as he engages in discussions with foreign leaders and heads of state.
