Pray for families who have lost loved ones, homes, and businesses as a result of the wildfires in Hawaii. Pray for those coordinating and participating in recovery efforts.
PRAY FOR CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party is investigating a security threat posed by cellular connectivity modules that can shut down vehicles. According to the committee, the modules, which connect the internet in electric cars, as well as in tractors and medical equipment among other devices, could be turned off by China at will.
Pray for legislators as they investigate these devices and for technology engineers who seek to overcome the threats.
Judicial Branch: Pray for Supreme Court Justices and Federal Judges
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of Moore v. United States which considers the constitutionality of the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act, the constitutionality of a wealth tax, and a mandatory repatriation tax on pre-2018 profits of some companies and some U.S. shareholders stored abroad. Some analysts are concerned the case could imperil the entire U.S. tax code.
Pray for members of the Supreme Court as they establish their docket for the coming session.
