Dear Prayer Team Member,

Today is a good day to fill your mind with the things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable. "If there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things" (Philippians 4:8).

Thank you for praying with us today. Here is your Daily Prayer Briefing.

THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

Today, President Donald Trump is participating in the second day of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. He will hold bilateral meetings with multiple foreign leaders on the sidelines of the summit.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have accompanied the president to the summit.

President Trump has sought for alliance members to increase their defense investments. He has also made plans to reduce the American troop presence in Germany after NATO allies refused to allow the U.S. to use airspace or military bases during Operation Epic Fury.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For President Trump and administration officials as they engage in discussions with foreign ministers and heads of state.
  • For wisdom for the president and the Cabinet secretaries as they negotiate NATO security agreements.
  • For Secretaries Rubio, Bessent, and Hegseth as they implement the president's policies and offer recommendations.
