As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump as he considers options to help Venezuela recover from corruption and oppression.
- For God to guide the president as he assesses the situation with Iran and decides what measures to take to support the people.
- For discernment for Senate committee chairs and members as they hold hearings and vote on nominees to various federal posts.
