As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the chairs of the committees and subcommittees to seek God’s direction as they preside over the hearings.
- For the president and members of his Cabinet to be discerning regarding the impact of projects and programs they launch.
- For U.S. officials as they engage in foreign diplomatic efforts with both allies and aggressors.
