Praying for Our Leaders in Government
Executive Branch: Pray for the President and his Administration
The U.S. Border Patrol conducted Operation Checkmate last month in Arizona. The agency reported that 52 illegal aliens were discovered during the five-day operation, three dozen of whom were driving semi-trucks. Twenty-nine of the 36 had commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) issued by various states. Acting Yuma border chief Dustin Caudle said, “Operation Checkmate reflects our commitment to safeguarding communities and roads from unlawfully present drivers who pose significant risks to public safety.”
Pray for Secretary Mullin and DHS, CBP, and Border Patrol officials as they seek to ensure homeland security.
Legislative Branch: Pray for Senators and Representatives in Congress
Senators Bernie Moreno of Ohio and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan introduced the Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026, which is being considered by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The bill seeks to protect the United States auto industry from interference from China. Senator Moreno stated, “Chinese vehicles can never be allowed into the U.S. market—the fate of the American auto industry and countless autoworkers depends on it.”
Pray for members of the House and Senate as they seek to support and safeguard U.S. industries.
PRAY FOR CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
The House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Appropriations Committee State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Subcommittee heard testimony from Secretary of State Marco Rubio this week. Secretary Rubio fielded questions from the federal legislators on diplomatic efforts in the conflict with Iran, as well as the State Department budget for the coming year.
Pray for the chairs and members of congressional committees as they provide oversight and hear testimony from the heads of federal agencies.
Judicial Branch: Pray for Supreme Court Justices and Federal Judges
First Circuit Court Judge J. Scott Duncan rejected Planned Parenthood’s request to dismiss a false advertising lawsuit brought by the Florida state attorney general. The state’s case accuses the abortion provider of deceptive and unfair trade practices due to claims that chemical abortion drugs are “safer than Tylenol.” Judge Duncan noted that the evidence does not support the company’s claim that abortion pills are “safer” than common drugs.
Pray for Supreme Court justices and federal judges as they interpret the Constitution and federal laws and issue decisions.
