Today, President Donald Trump is participating in the annual tradition of pardoning the Thanksgiving turkeys. The National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation will take place in the White House Rose Garden.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently expressed a positive opinion on the future of the nation’s economy. He said, “I am very, very optimistic on 2026. We have set the table for a very strong, non-inflationary growth economy.” 

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said he anticipates 2026 to be “an absolute blockbuster year,” despite the “hiccup” caused by the government shutdown in this year’s fourth quarter.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

• For the president and first lady as they participate in White House traditions.
• For discernment for President Trump as he continues to pursue the agenda on which he campaigned.
• For U.S. economic officials as they evaluate and assess the nation’s recovery from the government shutdown.
