THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

President Donald Trump is attending the America 250 Mount Rushmore Fireworks Celebration in South Dakota.

The Department of the Interior, the National Park Service, and the state of South Dakota have partnered to conduct this Freedom 250 event. The fireworks display returns to Mount Rushmore National Memorial after a five-year hiatus.

The pre-Independence Day celebration will include flyovers, military bands, and tributes to the U.S. Armed Services, and President Trump will speak at the base of the granite monument. South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden and Senator Mike Rounds will also attend.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For the Lord to guide President Trump as he heads commemorations of the nation's 250th anniversary.
  • For Interior, National Park Service, and state and local officials as they oversee the Black Hills event.
  • That individuals in public office at every level of government would recognize and thank God for His grace upon the United States.
