Note:

The Presidential Prayer Team has changed the format of their daily briefings; this, together with the limitations on comments on "events" (as opposed to "discussions"), has made it increasingly difficult to replicate the daily prayer briefings here. 

As a result, I'm going to move these prayer briefings to the discussion:

Presidential Prayer Team 2017

beginning today.  For those who are following these briefings, please follow that discussion going forward.

Thanks for praying!

Andrew

Over the weekend, by executive order, President Trump added North Korea to the list of nations on travel ban from the United States. This does more than just ban flights, as it also bans ships, commercial or otherwise, from entering the US. This has drastic effects on trade for North Korea as it imposes sanctions on any outside government or company who does business or significant trade with North Korea.

Donald Trump proclaimed today, September 24^th, Goldstar Mothers’ and Families’ Day in honor of those who paid the ultimate cost for the nation through the loss of their loved ones.

In a press statement, the president expressed how deeply the nation grieves with them, while also sharing the pride at the self-sacrifice of their sons and daughters.

Trump praised many Goldstar families for their community outreach as well as for how they provide support and help for those facing the same tragedy. Yet they can’t do it alone, for “it is our sacred duty to stand with these patriotic families to ensure they receive the care, compassion, and respect they have earned” Trump said.

He concluded the statement by adding, “I also encourage the American people to display the flag and hold appropriate ceremonies as a public expression of our Nation's gratitude and respect for our Gold Star Mothers and Families.”

As the Lord Leads, please pray:

• For President Trump as he makes policies and decisions that have direct consequences for those serving in the armed forces.

• For those whose lives have been devastated by the loss of a child in combat, that they would find healing and hope in the midst of it all.

• For those providing support, that they would know how to help and how to encourage those suffering through the unimaginable pain.

Daily Prayer Briefing, September 17

President Donald Trump in an early phone call with South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in this morning agreed to toughen sanctions against North Korea in a bid to curb the North's nuclear ambitions.  

Both leaders "gravely condemned" the latest missile test on Friday, which came just days after United Nations Security Council announced a draft of new sanctions against North Korea.

As the Lord leads, please pray for:

   •   Safety and God's direction for President Trump as he prepares to speak at his first United Nations General Assembly next week. 

   •   People affected by hurricane Harvey and Irma ... for the clean-up, rebuilding and restoration from those storms.

Daily Prayer Briefing, September 16

In President Donald Trump's Weekly Address, he reminds us that this week, the United States celebrates the 230th Anniversary of the signing of our remarkable Constitution.

"The fifty-five Delegates to the Grand Convention in Philadelphia met from May to September of 1787.  They gave us an incredible gift: a vision of the sovereign and self-governing people to control their own affairs.  And they gave us a Constitutional system that protected our liberties by enshrining the Rule of Law."

"The Framers of our Constitution triumphantly declared to whom the government of the United States belonged: it was “WE THE PEOPLE.”

As the Lord leads, please pray for:

   •   President and his family as they spend time at their home in Bedminster, New Jersey.

   •   The ongoing healing, clean-up, rebuilding and restoration from many impacted by the hurricane storms.  And, that power will be restored and gasoline become available to many parts of Florida.  

   •   U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis as they deal with the nuclear threat from North Korea.

   •   For the firefighters battling wildfire blazes in several western states.

President Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet bowed their heads as Vice President Mike Pence lead in prayer as they met at Camp David in Maryland.

The President then offered words of support for those impacted and still threatened by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.  "All of American continues to pray for the families affected by Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma which looks like it's really going to be a bad one. But we're prepared. We're as prepared as you can be for such an event.  All of America grieves for those who have already lost their lives."

President Trump also said of Irma, which is heading to Florida as a "major" hurricane, that "we've never seen anything like this."
