President Joe Biden is hosting a special event at the White House to commemorate the anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that the president will share progress made and how the administration plans to work with Congress to meet the health care needs of the American people. She added that, while there is much to celebrate, “we understand that there’s still millions of people that need a lot more.”
The president and first lady will travel to Ottawa, Canada, in the afternoon. NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said ahead of the trip, “Once they arrive, they’ll be greeted by the Governor General of Canada, Mary Simon.” Later in the evening, “The President and First Lady will join Prime Minister Trudeau and Mrs. Trudeau for an intimate gathering at their residence,” Coordinator Kirby added.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the president to seek God’s guidance as he works to create policies to meet the healthcare needs of the nation.
- For safety for the president and first lady as they travel today.
- For God to direct the relationship between the U.S. and Canada.

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clean conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. – Hebrews 13:18
“Pray for us.” It is a phrase commonly repeated in the New Testament, especially from the apostles who were sent forth by Jesus into the world to proclaim the Gospel of salvation and make disciples. Paul asked for prayer as he was met by persecution at almost every turn. In His final hours, Jesus asked His inner circle to pray for Him, His suffering had become so great.
Prayer is a mystery. God knows all things, yet He desires the communion with you, and that is through prayer. The Israelites prayed individually giving praise and thanksgiving to God, as well as supplications and intercessions for others. They offered corporate prayers for their well-being as a nation and a people of God, as well as prayers for protection and guidance, and confession of their sins both as a nation and individually.
While still on Earth, Jesus prayed for His disciples, and then for you, Believer, as recorded in John 17, “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (vv. 20-22).
You have the Holy Spirit within you today to help you know what and how to pray. Jesus Christ is your mediator with the Father who will answer the believer’s prayer. For those in darkness, prayer can seem a meaningless exercise. Regardless of the state of public officials’ faith, ask God to draw their hearts and minds to Him so that they know the Lord and His truth.
Today’s Verse: Hebrews 13:18
Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
