President Donald Trump announced that Iran requested a meeting in Doha, Qatar, today.
The White House confirmed that vessels are clear to transit the Strait of Hormuz and that “technical talks are slated to continue” after the U.S. responded to violations of the ceasefire by Iran.
The U.S. struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after the regime conducted one-way drone attacks on cargo vessels in an effort to regain control of the Strait of Hormuz in recent days. Then, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps again targeted U.S. military bases in the region.
After the reigniting of hostilities by the regime last week, President Trump stated, “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump to be discerning as U.S. representatives engage in peace negotiations in Qatar.
- For U.S. officials as they discuss ceasefire details and requirements with Iranian, Pakistani, and Qatari leaders.
- For God’s protection over American troops deployed to the Middle East and around the world.

- Christ is Coming Back
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. – Psalm 22:27
Psalm 22 is often referred to as the Psalm of the Cross. It is indeed a prophecy of the agony that Jesus would suffer, but it also predicted the victory He would achieve. It declares to you the absolute sovereignty of God and His provisions for humankind.
The world did not much care that a Man hung on a Roman cross outside of Jerusalem so many centuries ago. Similarly, much of the world today does not believe Jesus will be returning, nor pay attention to the prophecies that foretell His coming again. Among those who do believe, some have set up their own timetable. They think Christ’s second coming must be imminent; after all, how long will God be patient with this world?
Jesus said that the Father alone knows the timing of when He will return (Matthew 24:36-37). Christ encouraged His followers to be ready and to be expectant. Are you living your life as if your Savior and Lord could return at any moment? Are your eyes so fixed on Jesus that your day-to-day walk centers on Him in the here and now? In your preparation, are you sharing your hope with others?
There are many in this world who have been deceived, but one day their eyes will be opened, and “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth, and under the earth” (Philippians 2:10). That time is coming! Pray for the people of the United States to remember the Creator, to seek and find Jesus for themselves, and know His salvation… before that time comes.

Recommended for further reading: Psalm 22:22-31
I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him,
and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted,
and he has not hidden his face from him,
but has heard, when he cried to him.
25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation;
my vows I will perform before those who fear him.
26 The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
May your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
shall worship before you.
28 For kingship belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
29 All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,
even the one who could not keep himself alive.
30 Posterity shall serve him;
it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation;
31 they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn,
that he has done it.All Scripture quotations and audio are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved.
