During our annual Prayer Retreat, which we are at now, we are spending time in God’s Word, which informs and inspires our prayers. One of these beautiful passages is Psalm 47:8-9:

“God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.”

On the first day of our retreat, when we were interceding for members of Congress, this scripture reminded us that God is sovereign over all the nations, including America, and He is to be exalted.

We could not do this ministry without your support! Please prayerfully consider giving or continuing to give to help us keep this prayer coverage over our nation’s capital.

Another scripture, Romans 13:1, reminds us that God places our leaders in authority.

“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”

So, we pray for all in authority, and on our first day in prayer, we remembered by name all 435 members of the House and 100 members of the Senate. This is not something that can be done both quickly and meaningfully, but it takes all day. We hope you joined us and remembered your members of Congress in prayer as we requested on our social media video.

We also remembered the staff of the members of Congress and all those who help run the government. While we enjoyed God’s creation in our prayer walks, we know that diligence in prayer takes great effort. Prayer can be both exhausting and invigorating — but it is worth the investment!

Today, we will pray for the Trump administration, the White House, and all the departments. Please join us as you can!

During our retreat, we will also remember your specific prayer requests, and we thank you for sending them. We’ll leave you with the encouragement of 2 Corinthians 1:11:

“You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.”

Thank you!
