Let’s pray. Lord Jesus Christ, in Your name we pray for truth in this week’s presidential debate. We pray for the protection of all of our core freedoms, especially speech and religion.

Finally, in election news, a federal judge blocked an Ohio law from taking effect on September first. The law banned foreign nationals from donating to campaigns for ballot initiatives. As a result, foreign interests can freely attempt to sway Ohio citizens through funding.

Thank you that the Imams are calling out Hamas for their crimes. We pray for justice. Thank you also for courageous and bold women like Bonnie Wallace who are fighting for our children.

Despite some opposition, experts emphasize the program’s opportunity for character-building and biblical education for students.

In a victory for the unborn, a federal court has ruled New York’s pro-life pregnancy centers may inform women about abortion pill reversal medications.

Experts are urging the update of critical and vulnerable systems, particularly water systems, which are often outdated and lack robust protection.
Finally, the Supreme Court declined to revive Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan. Conservative states led by Missouri challenged the proposal due to its significant economic impact. The decision implies that federal agencies need explicit congressional authorization to implement impactful policies.
Let’s pray. Father God, we pray for protection of the lives of the unborn in our nation. Forgive us for this great sin. Change hearts and minds on abortion and the value of life. Help our leaders prepare this nation for cyber threats of all kinds. Thank you for the wisdom of the Supreme Court. May all of our leaders fulfill your will for our nation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Georgia State Election Board passed a rule ensuring that the number of voters matches the number of votes in the November fifth election.

In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul. We have many anxieties about our nation, leaders, and future. We put them all in your hands and receive your comfort. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen certified a ballot measure that will ask voters on November 5 to amend their state constitution to “expressly provide a right to make and carry out decisions about one’s own pregnancy, including the right to abortion.”This is one of many state ballot initiatives on abortion that will be decided in November.
Despite Iran and Hezbollah’s pronouncement of war against Israel, a full-scale attack has not happened. People around the world are wondering why not.

The European Union, notorious for stifling free speech within its borders, is now attempting to extend its jurisdiction into America.

Biden has authorized a classified plan focusing on China’s potential nuclear threat.

Intercessors have been praying fervently for Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman for years now.

The Trump campaign recently claimed it was hacked by Iran. While the FBI initially refused to comment, it has now confirmed that Iranian hackers were behind the attack. The FBI said in a statement that it has “observed increasingly aggressive Iranian activity during this election cycle.”
Let’s pray about these issues. Father, we pray for divine wisdom for all of our elected officials. Show them how to help our economy and prevent them from abusing governmental power to do so. We pray against COVID as it once again rears its ugly head. We pray it would not be used by the government to control us or to manipulate our elections.

House Intelligence Committee chairman, Representative Mike Turner, cautioned that Iran might declare itself a nuclear weapons state by year’s end.

The report asserts that these activities amount to fraudulent behavior, affronting public trust and prioritizing personal gain over national interest.
Let’s pray. Dear Lord, we pray for Your will to be done and Your presence to be felt at the DNC. We pray for all ungodly plans and ideologies to come to ruin. We also ask You to protect us from Iran. We pray that Your children will hear Your voice and that whatever message You are communicating through the disasters in Russia will be received. Finally, we ask You to hold President Biden and all of our elected officials accountable for their actions.

This November, voters in Missouri and Arizona will decide on ballot initiatives seeking to expand definitions of ‘health,’ which could effectively legalize abortion on demand. These ‘health of the pregnant person’ clauses could block laws restricting abortion and leave health decisions to loosely defined ‘health care professionals’ instead of medical doctors. If approved, the measures could potentially allow for abortion at any stage if deemed beneficial to the mother’s physical or emotional health. IFA intercessors know that abortion harms women’s emotional health as well as ends a valuable human life. We pray for hearts and minds to change on abortion.

Finally, a new survey indicated that only 10 percent of Americans are evangelical Christians. This figure contrasts sharply with previous estimates of 25 to 40 percent. Accurate definitions show a smaller yet significant evangelical demographic in the U.S.
Let’s pray. Lord God, please change the hearts and minds of Americans on abortion. Now that we know that only 10 percent of Americans are evangelical Christians, we pray more fervently for the gospel to be spread in the U. S. We also pray for protection for churches in America. We trust You, Lord, with our nation. Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A new survey revealed that the majority of American adults oppose transgender treatments for minors.

God is opening people’s eyes to the horrors of transgenderism!
Huge triumphs for school choice were reported in several states’ Republican primaries. Election results confirmed anti-school choice GOP officials losing their positions, while education-freedom backers secured state house and senate seats.

Montana’s Supreme Court ruled a law requiring minors to get parental consent for abortions unconstitutional. This overruled law, claimed to violate the state constitution, originated in 2013.

Columbia University’s President Minouche Shafik has resigned amidst criticism of her management of campus anti-Israel protests. She became the fifth Ivy League President to resign within the last year and the third to resign over anti-Israel sentiment on campus.

We lament the Montana Supreme Court’s decision, and we pray that You would protect women and the unborn in that state. Finally, we thank You for holding those who enabled the anti-Israel campus protests accountable, and we ask You to reform public education and our universities. We pray this in Your name. Amen.

Abortion rates have unfortunately increased since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Research indicates a significant increase from 86,830 abortions at the time of the reversal to nearly 100,000 in March 2024. This rise is largely attributed to abortion-friendly states providing pills via telehealth care to patients in more restrictive areas.
Finally, Elon Musk has sued the nonprofit World Federation of Advertisers on antitrust grounds. In response, the federation halted a global initiative focused on hate speech guidelines. Musk’s lawsuit claims the organization created a conspiracy to withhold billions in advertising revenue from X.

We pray that You would protect our freedom of speech, and that You would stop all governments from targeting those who disagree with them.

Georgia’s election board greenlighted a measure enabling county election boards to conduct ‘reasonable inquiry’ before certifying poll results.

While some are praising this as a win for election integrity, others feel that rules should not be changed so close to election day.
In Oklahoma, the State school Superintendent Ryan Walters spearheaded the inclusion of the Bible in the curriculum as an instructional support, an action that has generated a lot of uninformed opposition. However, the mandate requires Bible teaching solely for its historical, literary, and secular contribution, adhering to legal standards.
The controversial non-profit tied to 2020’s “Zuckerbucks” saga is pouring millions into elections across 20 states.

Planned Parenthood has rapidly emerged as the top provider for trans hormone treatments. With therapy available at about 450 locations, the organization had over 40,000 patients seeking such treatments in 2021. It’s tragic that the nation’s largest abortion provider is now also the nation’s largest provider of trans treatments. Killing babies and sterilizing people. A wicked combination.
Let’s pray. Lord God, we call out to you on behalf of the unborn and the confused children and adults who are seeking the services of Planned Parenthood. Save them and bring your holy spirit in a mighty flood in this nation. Thank you for the inclusion of the Bible in Oklahoma education. We pray Your word would change lives and impact our nation.

Father, please protect us from threats outside our borders and within our nation, and please thwart evil plans to harm Americans.
Answered prayer in Ohio! A judge upheld the Ohio ban on trans treatments for minors and the ban on biological men in women’s sports. This ruling clears the path for law enforcement, affirming the protection of children and the preservation of female sports. Critics are pushing back, considering this a setback, and planning to appeal. Lord God, thank you that there is a trend toward protecting children from mutilation and for protecting women’s sports. Take the scales off the eyes of those pushing for these things.
Finally, in 2020, Vice President Harris encouraged donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which pays bail for accused people. She aligns with their battle against cash bail systems. This controversial organization received donations amounting to 40 million dollars to bail out protesters following the death of George Floyd. Lord God, help our justice system function effectively. In Jesus’ name, we pray.

We thank You for revealing the truth about the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. May they be accountable for their actions. We pray for truth, transparency, and accountability in our elections. We ask You to stop our leaders from turning us against each other. We pray that the Google monopoly ruling will allow unbiased competitors to flourish. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The judge noted that these blockers presented ‘substantial risks and narrow benefits,’ according to a report commissioned by England’s National Health Service.

While there’s no known connection, this new information reinforces the necessity of praying for the protection of political leaders and candidates.

Vance had a Christian upbringing but became an atheist, then converted to Catholicism as an adult. His wife is Hindu, although it is unclear how devout she is.

We also thank You for the surge in the stock market, and we pray that You would be working in our economy.

We are praying for people all over the United States who are experiencing a deadly and record-breaking heating wave. The heat, plaguing the East and West, threatens to spread across the country and impact public health and infrastructure. June was recognized as the second-warmest month on record, adding to fears of the hottest summer ever across several cities.
Detractors have misrepresented Project 2025, calling it a right-wing government takeover effort. President Trump has distanced himself from the effort. This is just one example of strife related to the election, which is ultimately a spiritual problem. What seems like political strife, international interference, widespread deception, and tolerance for violence is not the work of people but of demonic forces working in and through people. We recognize the devil’s schemes by the fear, misinformation, strife, fractions, divisions, and hatred being stirred up in ever greater measure. And we respond in prayer.
Father God, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. May Your will be done exposing the captors of the Israel hostages, the location of the children brought illegally over the border, and the strife in the election. We also ask for Your mercy in this heat wave. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Republican delegates adopted a new party platform that takes a pro-choice approach to life issues. The Trump campaign developed the platform and passed it without regard to the procedures that have been used for years. This is the first time since 1976 that the Republican platform has not included a statement of the value of life from conception to natural death. What will this platform change mean, and how will it impact the election? Let’s pray. Lord God, Creator of all life, have mercy on us. May our leaders honor life.
Although many called the events of January 6 an insurrection, the Supreme Court recently ruled it was not. They struck down obstruction of proceeding charges against the January 6 defendants, so the insurrection charge is no longer valid. The remaining charges primarily consist of trespassing and unlawful entry. Lord Jesus, we pray for justice in all these cases.
Headlines about President Biden’s health and cognitive abilities continue to dominate the news. Yet the coverage usually lacks compassion for a man in failing health. The Bible commands Christians to pray for leaders in first Timothy. President Biden’s problems can be a reminder to pray for him as the Lord leads. God, we lift up President Biden and ask that You would do a mighty work in his life to bring him to salvation. Instill compassion in those around him to do what’s best for him as his cognitive health is evident.
Growing cities increasingly utilize drones to respond to 9 1 1 calls, addressing critical police officer shortages. Drones assess emergency situations, determining officer deployment needs and increasing situational awareness. However, there are also many concerns about potential civil rights and privacy issues, warranting close monitoring. We need to keep praying for law enforcement, which is trying to address rising crime with smaller staffs. Father in heaven, raise up a wave of recruits to ease the critical shortage of police officers and give wisdom to command staff in the use of drones.

For more information, visit our article and download our prayer guide about this issue at IFApray.org.

Let’s pray. Father above, we pray for godly parties in America. We ask that the Republican party would seek to be guided by Your Word, not by the will of man. We also lift President Biden before You. We ask You to strengthen him and give him wisdom as he finishes his term. We pray for the House ahead of a vote on the SAVE Act, and we pray that our representatives would be sensitive to Your will. Finally, we lift up every family that has been affected by the drug trafficking crisis. We pray You will give them peace.

Whatever happens in this lawsuit, we pray for Your will to be done.

It is a big week for the Supreme Court. Today they will announce rulings on the Trump immunity case and January 6. Yesterday they published a ruling against the Securities and Exchange Commission’s use of in-house administrative courts. Defendants who face civil penalties must now receive a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment.
In another ruling, the Supreme Court returned Idaho v. United States to lower courts. Meanwhile, U.S. hospitals can continue to perform emergency abortions, even in states that enforce strict abortion bans. This provision encompasses cases where a woman’s life isn’t under immediate threat but she faces grave harm, including loss of fertility or mental harm. We are praying that states will continue to pass laws that protect the unborn.

Let’s pray. Heavenly Father, we pray for the Supreme Court to rule justly and wisely and for correction of rulings that are unwise and unconstitutional. We pray for hearts and minds to change on abortion and we pray that You would confuse and thwart the efforts of Planned Parenthood. We pray for Christians to lovingly share truth about Jesus and about how humans are image bearers of God. We pray that this truth would counteract all the lies in our culture. In Jesus’ name, amen.

We pray that these nations would be used for your purposes and that you would give American leaders great wisdom in protecting U.S. interests.
