President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House today.
The two presidents will be discussing the Israel-Lebanon agreement that was signed last month regarding Beirut’s effort to regain control of southern Lebanon from Hezbollah. President Trump and President Aoun will assess a proposal to dismantle Hezbollah’s arsenal to facilitate Israel’s military withdrawal from the region.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with President Aoun on Sunday, stating he was encouraged by the Lebanese government’s “determined efforts to reclaim Lebanon’s sovereignty, disarm Hezbollah and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure and move towards peace.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump to be led by God as he negotiates peace agreements for international conflicts.
- For wisdom for the president as he discusses the proposal for Lebanon to regain control from Hezbollah.
- For Secretary Rubio as he participates in ASEAN conferences and meetings in the Philippines.

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain. – Hebrews 6:19
Ripping is not generally a pleasant sound, particularly if you hear a toddler removing a page from your book, or you bend over and hear a weak seam give way. But imagine the awesome sound when one very large curtain was torn from top to bottom (Matthew 27:50-51). The temple curtain is described in 2 Chronicles 3:14, made according to God’s specific and elaborate instructions for the tabernacle, which can be read in Exodus 26. Once a year, on the Day of Atonement, only the High Priest was allowed to enter the Holy of Holies beyond the curtain.
The moment Jesus died, God tore this curtain open from the top down, providing free access to the very throne of God to find grace and help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
The Father made it clear. By the death of His Son, everyone who believes can enter into His presence. You can come before God without a priest or a sacrificial lamb because, once and for all, Jesus became the Priest and the sacrificial Lamb. Another ripping sound that the Lord is eager to hear is the removal of doubt and unbelief as sinners reach out to Him in faith.
Think about the great privilege believers have—to go before God, bringing all their needs and cares! Be diligent in exercising this wonderful gift God has given you. Make spending time in God’s presence a priority, bringing your needs and those of the country before Him. Intercede for the spiritual condition of the citizens of the United States, particularly for the youth who represent the future of the faith.

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
