Praying for Our Leaders in Government
Executive Branch: Pray for the President and his Administration
During his trip to Angola, President Joe Biden announced $1 billion in humanitarian aid for people in 31 African countries who have been displaced by conflict or drought. He also met with leaders about extending a railway from Congo to Zambia for the transport of critical minerals.
Pray for the president and his advisors as he makes agreements in the final weeks of his term.
Legislative Branch: Pray for Senators and Representatives in Congress
Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, chair of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, raised concerns over the history of disciplinary actions against the Capitol officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbit, who was unarmed, during the January 6 protests. The officer was promoted by Capitol Police in 2023 despite his disciplinary history.
Pray for representatives and senators as they provide oversight of federal departments, including the Capitol Police.
PRAY FOR CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, chaired by Representative Sam Graves of Missouri, has called for an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general into allegations that FEMA workers left entire neighborhoods where three or more patriotic or Trump signs were present without alerting hurricane-impacted residents of available federal assistance.
Pray for the members of committees as they address concerns regarding the actions of federal agencies.
Judicial Branch: Pray for Supreme Court Justices and Federal Judges
This week the justices of the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti. President Biden’s administration has sued the state of Tennessee for restricting transgender medical treatments for minors, claiming it violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.
Pray for the justices of the Supreme Court to receive God’s guidance as they consider the arguments in this case.
