Praying for Our Leaders in Government
Executive Branch: Pray for the President and his Administration
President Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk this month on what would have been the Christian apologist’s 32nd birthday. At a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, Erika Kirk accepted the medal on behalf of her husband, who was assassinated last month. President Trump stated, “Our Nation honors the immortal memory of Charlie — a father, a husband, a Christian martyr, and a titan of the American conservative movement. We honor his life, we send our condolences to his beautiful family, and we pledge to advance the values for which he laid down his life.”
Pray for the president and officials in his administration as they conduct events to honor and commemorate patriots.
Legislative Branch: Pray for Senators and Representatives in Congress
Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Representative Moore wrote that over 7,000 Christians have been killed in 2025, with hundreds more kidnapped, tortured, or displaced by Muslim extremist groups. He also cited reports that, since 2009, 19,100 Christian churches have been attacked or destroyed.
Pray for members of Congress as they seek to expose the profile of foreign nations and groups that persecute and kill Christians.
PRAY FOR CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Jim Risch of Idaho, met this week to consider legislation introduced by Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut to designate the Russian Federation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Senator Graham said last month, “Russia’s earned the right to be on this list.”
Pray for the chairs and members of Senate and House committees as they seek to increase pressure on foreign sponsors of terrorism.
Judicial Branch: Pray for Supreme Court Justices and Federal Judges
The Supreme Court recently declined to take up two cases challenging Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects social media platforms from liability for moderation of third-party content. The pass by the high court leaves lower courts’ interpretations in place and suggests that major reforms to social media liability will be left to Congress to determine.
Pray for federal justices and judges as they hear and interpret cases on communications and liability.
