President Donald Trump will address a meeting of the Faith and Freedom Coalition at the Washington Hilton today. The hotel was the site of an assassination attempt during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in April.
A U.S. Secret Service (USSS) official addressed security, stating, “At every protective site, the U.S. Secret Service deploys a sophisticated, layered security framework that is custom-designed and continuously evolves to meet today’s heightened security environment.”
The USSS official added, “While the existing security plan at the April 2026 White House Correspondents Dinner was effective in interdicting an identified threat, the agency continually reviews our security posture and will make adjustments, as necessary.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the safety of President Trump as he returns to the site where the attempted assassination occurred.
- For Director Sean Curran and Secret Service agents as they provide security and guard the president and members of his administration.
- For the president to seek God’s wisdom as he speaks at election and campaign events.

- Praying with Confidence
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. – Hebrews 4:16
Pause a minute to think about how you tend to approach God. Do you delight in spending time with Him? Does it feel like a task you are checking off your to-do list? Do you feel secure and hopeful as you come to Him? Or are you hesitant, uncertain how God may, or may not, respond? Do you believe that God has the power to fix any circumstance?
The author of Hebrews calls believers to come to the Lord with confidence, knowing that grace and mercy will always be available in times of need. God is described in Hebrews chapter four as both omnipotent, or full of unlimited power, and compassionate. He is more than able to address anything that occurs in this world, and He takes care of His children through it all. The Father does not want His children to be anxious but wants them to bring every request – large and small – to Him for help (Philippians 4:6).
This is why you can always approach God with confidence. He offers mercy, which prevents you from receiving what you deserve, and He gives grace, which provides what you do not deserve. Take a moment and allow this truth to sink deep into your heart. Ask the Lord to show you where your confidence in Him may be shoring up. Share all your needs with Him and trust that He will take care of you. As you grow in your faith and confidence in God, pray for governing officials in the United States to also increase in their knowledge and confidence in God’s power.
Today’s Verse: Hebrews 4:16
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
