Today, President Joe Biden and other administration officials are expected to take part in Day Two of the Summit for Democracy. A large focus of the day’s agenda will be on how governments around the world use technology to bolster their cyber security. “The United States is proud to join the other members of the Freedom Online Coalition to release the guiding principles for government use of surveillance technology,” White House officials stated.
“And these guiding principles outline that any government that wants to adhere to democratic principles and human rights can use such technology in a responsible manner,” the statement added.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Homeland Security Ali Mayorkas, USAID Administrator Samantha Power, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy Arati Prabhakar are all expected to attend summit events today.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For God to be with the many administration officials who are attending the summit today.
- For God to direct the conversations and discussions of world leaders during the summit.
- For God’s hand to be on the summit so that any decisions reached would be honoring and glorifying to Him.

- One in Christ
Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. – Philippians 2:2
If you have children and can remember when they were small you can recall fun, joyous times. But there are also times when these angelic little ones snarl at each other like bobcats. How this grieves a parent’s heart! Parents do what they can to restore harmony, but it is ultimately up to the children to make the effort to treat their siblings with kindness. Likewise, when Father God looks upon His very large family, how it must grieve Him when He hears arguments and gossip. He does everything to restore peace, but it is ultimately up to His children to make the decision to treat their spiritual siblings kindly.
Paul exhorted his followers often to be united as he did in today’s verse. Peter wrote, “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind” (1 Peter 3:8). David exclaimed, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” (Psalm 133:1).
Jesus said, “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift” (Matthew 5:23-24). As you pray today, ask the Lord to search your heart and show you if you are treating your brothers and sisters as He would have you do. Pray that God would bring unity and restoration to the Church in the United States and that believers will be the salt and light to the world through His love.
Today’s Verse: Philippians 2:2
complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 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. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
