If you have continued following the news since the November 5 election, you will have seen news about DOGE. What is DOGE?

President-elect Trump, in keeping with his promises, has charged business gurus Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head up a new Department of Government Efficiency. Nicknamed “DOGE,” this private commission will audit government spending, identifying waste and reporting on expenditures that need to be eliminated.

President-elect Trump has given Musk and Ramaswamy until “no later than” July 4, 2026, to get this work done. During that time, the efficiency gurus hope to cut as much as $2 trillion from the federal budget. It has the potential to be one of the most effective tools for the Trump Administration to cut waste and deep state bureaucracy.

With such a mammoth undertaking, Musk and Ramaswamy–as well as all the soon-to-be-hired members of the DOGE think tank–definitely need our prayer support!

Would you join me in praying over their assignment today? Here are some specific directives we can pray for the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE):

1. Pray that only the right people will be hired to assist with the DOGE auditing process.
2. Pray that the DOGE team would be given appropriate access to all the records they need to review. Pray that people who do not have the country’s best interest at heart would not be able to hide information from DOGE review.
3. Ask the Lord to give the entire DOGE team His supernatural wisdom.
4. Pray that our Father would pour out His sevenfold Holy Spirit on the entire DOGE team—and that, whether they expect it or not, they would be filled the Spirit of the Lord; the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might; the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
5. Pray that the Lord would quicken their discernment, helping them spot things that are awry—and that He would help each reviewer know when to dig for additional information, clarification, and hidden things.
6. Pray that all hidden things will be revealed and all secrets made known according to our Father’s will.
7. Ask the Lord to tune President-elect Trump’s ear to hear everything he needs to hear, and to understand it well, as reports begin to come in from the DOGE commission.
8. Pray that the Senate and House leaders would be responsive and open to making the changes they need to make as DOGE reveals its findings.
9. Pray that Congress would pass and change all appropriate laws to eliminate government waste.
10. Pray that the DOGE commission would relay correct information to the American public throughout its review period.
11. Pray that any existing fraud or thievery would be exposed and brought to justice.
12. Ask the Lord to place a heightened sensitivity to fiscal waste in the heart of every American. Pray that every American would be a good steward of God’s resources, and that waste would become appalling and even unthinkable to us.
13. Pray that the angels of Heaven would go forth and assist in every DOGE investigation, in every way possible, to the glory of God.
14. Pray that the Lord would physically protect and bless Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, their families, and their business interests as they serve the American people in this way.
15. Pray that Musk and Ramaswamy would get to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord during this process, if they don’t already know Him.

The DOGE effort is groundbreaking and monumental.

It could (and hopefully will) alter the course of our nation forever. But, with such a hugely impactful assignment, we definitely need the Lord and all the hosts of Heaven to help our nation with this effort. Will you join me in praying today for these “financial ninja warriors” who have been entrusted this mammoth task?

Leave a comment below if you will continue to pray for DOGE! And also, please share the prayer points the Lord has placed in your heart about this! Watch IFA for a soon-to-be-released prayer effort that involves praying for DOGE! Stay tuned!
