THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

President Donald Trump is in Beijing, China, for bilateral discussions with President Xi Jinping. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are among the administration officials in the president's entourage.

U.S. and China Flags

President Trump issued a message on National Police Week honoring "the brave men and women of law enforcement who risk their lives daily to protect our communities."

"Throughout Police Week, we honor the sacrifices of our law enforcement community and the families who stand beside them," President Trump said in his proclamation. "United in gratitude, we recommit ourselves to supporting those who keep the peace in our neighborhoods, and we offer our heartfelt appreciation for the service they render to community and country."

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For President Trump to be led by the Lord in his discussions with President Xi.
  • For the president and members of his Cabinet to seek the Lord as they negotiate trade and security agreements with Chinese officials.
  • For wisdom for President Trump as commander-in-chief over the U.S. Armed Forces.
