Dear Prayer Team Member,

We are deeply grateful for you and your commitment to join with us in prayer for our nation and its leaders.

Not always do we report clear answers to prayer -- but today, as our team faithfully lifts up our President, leaders, and nation every single day, we rejoice that God allowed the revealing and thwarting of what could have been a major attack on Washington and our country.

Authorities uncovered a plot involving at least 23 individuals who planned an attack on Washington, D.C. (read the full story below). Praise God that one of the plotters was arrested in California after his mother, alarmed by his concerning behavior, firearms purchases, and online communications, had the courage to alert authorities.

We are deeply thankful to God for His constant watchcare over Washington, our President, and our entire nation. As Psalm 127:1 reminds us, "Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." What could have been a devastating day was stopped before it began -- a powerful testimony to the Lord's protection and the power of persistent prayer.

Here is your Daily Prayer Briefing.

THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

Today, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are concluding their visit to Evian-les-Bains, France, for the G7 Summit. In addition to participating in the final summit discussions, including a working lunch, the president will meet individually with select foreign leaders. President Trump is set to have dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles before he departs for the U.S.

The Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, is holding a confirmation hearing today for President Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, is also holding confirmation hearings for an array of nominees today, including those for positions in the Office of Management and Budget, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For President Trump to receive God's wisdom as he concludes his discussions with G7 and other foreign leaders.
  • For discernment for the president and secretary of state as they pursue national security and economic goals.
  • For the chairs and members of Senate committees as they review and question the president's nominees for federal posts.
