THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. Navy to fire upon any Iranian vessel that is laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump stated, "I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation."

The president continued, "Additionally, our mine 'sweepers' are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level!"

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For President Trump to receive God's wisdom as he serves as commander-in-chief of the U.S. military.
  • For Secretary Hegseth, General Caine, and Admiral Cooper as they oversee missions in the Middle East and advise the president.
  • For the Lord's protection over the men and women serving on active duty around the world.
