THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

President Donald Trump is traveling to Las Vegas, Nevada, for a roundtable at Symphony Park to highlight his "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime" policy under the "Working Families Tax Cuts" legislation.

The White House Council of Economic Advisers said that the policy increases workers' average take-home pay by $1,675 a year.

The G20 Finance Track 2026 is holding a finance ministers and central bank governors meeting in Washington, D.C. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, ""Thanks to President Trump's pro-growth economic policies, the United States' economy is reaching historic heights, and as the G20's Finance Track lead Treasury will leverage America's demonstrable economic success and bring the G20 back to its core mission by undertaking a streamlined, results-oriented approach for the group."

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For safe travels for President Trump and his staff as they fly to and from Nevada.
  • For Treasury Secretary Bessent to be discerning as he oversees U.S. financial policy and manages the nation's obligations.
  • For the Lord's will and purposes to be accomplished in the United States and throughout the world.
