- Issue 737 – Verse of the Week
February 5th – February 11th 2026
VERSE OF THE WEEK
He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. – Psalm 91:11
Guardians
The television program “Ancient Aliens” began by saying, “You are not alone. You have never been alone.” What truth there is in that! Not because of the alien beings coming from the stars or faraway planets, but because of the very presence of God Himself (Psalm 139:7, Jeremiah 23:23, 1 Timothy 6:16). In addition, there are indeed supernatural beings who exist in this world and beyond it. They are beautiful beyond imagination, intelligent, powerful, traveling unimpeded through time and space. And occasionally, you may encounter one in a situation where they make themselves known, but mostly they are invisible to your human eyes. They are angels—Billy Graham called them God’s “secret agents.” They minister to you, and they praise God continually. So, as you go about your day, thank God He has provided these warriors who protect you and guard you in all your ways.
First Ministry Letter of 2026!
Our gift to you this holiday as we remember the true reason for the season with sacred and traditional Christmas music.- Issue 737 – Federal Branches
Praying for Our Leaders in Government
Executive Branch: Pray for the President and his Administration
President Donald Trump announced that The Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts would be closing down on the Fourth of July, in honor of the 250th U.S. anniversary, for two years of construction. The president reported that “financing is completed and fully in place” and that the renovations “will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before.”
Pray for the president to be led by the Lord as he makes improvements to buildings and landmarks.
Legislative Branch: Pray for Senators and Representatives in Congress
Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky announced that he was cosponsoring Congressman Brian Babin’s Birthright Citizenship Act, which narrowly defines “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. He said, “This bill closes a loophole that incentivizes illegal aliens to break our laws. Under its provisions, children of illegal aliens would not qualify for 14th Amendment birthright citizenship.”
Pray for representatives and senators to be prudent in their introduction of bills and acts.
PRAY FOR CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, chaired by Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, held a hearing this week to examine the cybersecurity challenges impacting American water infrastructure and to identify opportunities to improve water sector cybersecurity. They heard testimony from an academic fellow and from executives of water management systems on the vulnerabilities of the infrastructure.
Pray for federal legislators as they investigate vulnerabilities in the nation’s infrastructure and cybersecurity.
Judicial Branch: Pray for Supreme Court Justices and Federal Judges
A federal judge in the District of Columbia blocked the ending of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem while a lawsuit proceeds. The order came the day before TPS was to end, with the judge stating the program termination “shall be null, void, and of no legal effect.” The status, granted by the Department of Homeland Security, is for those who are displaced due to a natural disaster, political instability, or other dangers.
Pray for federal judges as they hear challenges to actions taken by the president and members of his administration.

AMERICA’S HISTORY OF FAITH AND PRAYER
- Issue 737 – Faith and Prayer History
“Power doesn’t really bring the fulfillment that many think it does. … Power, of course, can be intoxicating. It can be addictive, and few doubt that power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. …
Having a position of power does not bring inner security and fulfillment. That comes only by developing a personal relationship with God, which for me is personified in Jesus Christ. Inner security and real fulfillment come by faith.”– Former Secretary of State James Baker

Additional National Prayer Needs
Pray for America’s Military
Defense Press Secretary Sean Parnell stated that the Pentagon is monitoring a Virginia state bill that could potentially revoke state funding for the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). “For generations, the unique military environment at VMI has made the institute a vital source of commissioned officers for the Armed Forces,” he said. “The stability of this proven leadership pipeline is a matter of direct national security interest and any action that could disrupt the ecosystem requires our full attention.” He said the Pentagon is prepared to take “extraordinary measures” to protect the institution.
Pray for the president, defense secretary, and joint chiefs as they assess the ecosystem and readiness of the U.S. military.
Pray for America’s Foreign Relations
President Trump met with President Gustavo Petro of Colombia this week at the White House. The Colombian president reportedly gave President Trump a list of names of the “kingpins” of drug trafficking, and expressed his commitment to addressing it, though his nation has been the largest producer of cocaine. President Petro recommended adding an “S” to the MAGA hat, signed and given to him by President Trump, so it read “Make America[s] Great Again.”
The Supreme Court of Panama determined that two 25-year concessions held by Hong Kong-based Panama Ports Company were unconstitutional last week. The company had ports at both ends of the Panama Canal. One of President Trump’s priorities has been to eliminate the Chinese Communist Party’s control over the vital shipping route. During the transition to end China’s presence on the canal, the large Danish company A.P. Moller-Maersk will temporarily operate the ports.
Pray for the president and U.S. officials as they seek to protect America’s interests as they collaborate on global security and trade.
Pray for AMERICA’S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
A young woman, who previously identified as transgender, won a medical malpractice suit against a surgeon and psychologist in Westchester, New York, this week. It is the first successful lawsuit in the nation brought by a detransitioner, who had a double mastectomy at the age of 16. Several states have passed or are considering laws to protect minors from sex-rejecting medications and other physiological and biological-altering interventions.
Pray for U.S. health officials to protect the physical health of minors as they evaluate mental health support for youth struggling with gender dysphoria.
Pray for Needs Across the States
An Oklahoma representative pleaded guilty to felonies under the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act after the Oklahoma Ethics Commission conducted an investigation into the state legislator’s activities. She resigned from the state legislature as part of her sentence for the misuse of campaign funds, conspiracy, and forgery. State Attorney General Gentner Drummond said, “Public officials hold a sacred trust with the people they serve. When that trust is violated for personal gain, it strikes at the very heart of our institutions.”
A Virginia judge has blocked the State Legislature’s proposed amendment to the Virginia Constitution that would redraw the congressional districts for a failure to follow state law for amendments. The judge found that the House of Delegates did not hold the required first vote before the 2025 election season had begun.
Pray for governors, state attorneys general, and judges as they seek to uphold the law and determine congressional district apportionments.
Pray for America’s Faith Community
“Despite many technological advancements, the twenty-first century has entered frighteningly dark waters. Look at the headlines — the threat of global terrorism, the chaos of unthinkable criminal activity, the defilement of pornography, the confusion of gender roles, the future of the economy, the ‘lostness‘ of our children, etc., etc. People are helplessly buckled up, strapped in, and holding on to a world careening out of control into a future of even greater fear, confusion, frustration, uncertainty, and isolation.
As a Christian, a true Christian, you are quite a contrast. Anchored in Jesus Christ, you are immoveable, steadfast, and strong. Your eyes are fixed on the Word of God, a beacon that stands out like a ‘lamp shining in a dark place‘ (2 Peter 1:19). As you move toward that light, God changes your life by the power of the Holy Spirit. The message you proclaim and the life you live guarantees you will stand out in the culture.
Holy, righteous lives are the backbone of the gospel we preach. … The central issue in evangelism is holy living. A powerful church is not built on its strategy, but on the virtue and holiness of its people.“ – John MacArthur, Grace to You
