In a surprise turn of events, Matt Gaetz, former Florida representative, has withdrawn his attorney general nomination. Calling the many allegations against him a distraction from President-Elect Trump’s agenda, Gaetz stepped away from the nomination. This sudden shift leaves Trump to consider other potential candidates for the attorney general role.

Rising tensions in Europe have escalated, with Russia reportedly striking Ukraine with an ICBM missile. This is believed to be a retaliatory action after Ukraine utilized American missiles to strike Russian territory. As fears mount, countries like Germany are preparing for a possible war, while North Korea, a Russian ally, is accelerating its own war preparations.

Senator Bernie Sanders’s bid to limit arms sales to Israel was overwhelmingly blocked across party lines in the Senate. The bipartisan group dismissed Sanders’ three joint resolutions aiming to restrict America’s 20 billion-dollar weapons shipment to Israel. The failed attempts spotlight the sustained pro-Israel stances of many Republicans and some Democrats. Republican leaders have promised to increase support for the nation once they take charge in January.

In the final stages of his term, President Biden is doubling down on his stance on abortion. He awarded Cecile Richards, a prominent abortion rights activist and ex-president of Planned Parenthood, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The honor is reserved for civilians who have made notably meritorious contributions to the country. In giving this award to Richards, Biden is showing his unwavering support for the medical killing of the unborn.

Let’s pray. Dear Father, we pray for Trump as he chooses a new Attorney General for his administration. We pray that he would pick someone who knows and honors You. We also pray for peace in Europe, and we ask You to bring an end to the senseless war in Ukraine. We thank You for giving us lawmakers who support Israel, and we pray that our senators and representatives would continue to protect Your people and nation. Finally, we pray for an end to abortion in America. We pray all this in Your name, amen.

Rumors are circling about Iran’s Supreme Leader’s health status. The country’s religious leaders reportedly prepared to select his successor. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, is proposed as the next leader. As an instructor at Iran’s largest theological school, the Ayatollah’s son is considered a hardline radical Islamist.

Ukraine recently utilized U.S.-provided missiles, striking inside Russian territory in an unprecedented move. This follows President Biden giving the move the green light, potentially escalating the war. Simultaneously, Russia is suspected of sabotage in the Baltic Sea, with two fiber-optic cables being suspiciously destroyed.

The Biden administration is reportedly intensifying its anti-Israel stance. Sanctions are being imposed on Israeli construction companies. Amidst this, discussions are underway regarding a possible arms embargo. How much damage will the outgoing administration do to our relationship with Israel before Trump takes over in January?

Speaker Johnson introduced a new restroom rule at the Capitol, restricting biological men from access to women’s facilities. The policy, triggered by the controversy surrounding transgender Representative-elect Sarah McBride, reserves single-sex facilities for their biologically corresponding users. Additionally, Representative Nancy Mace has proposed a resolution prohibiting people from using single-sex facilities not corresponding to their biological sex on all federal property across the nation.

Let’s pray. Almighty God, we pray for change in Iran. We ask for leaders in this country who will honor and respect You and Your people. We pray the same for every country in Europe, especially Russia as it continues to attack Ukraine and threaten the world. We pray that You would change President Biden’s heart toward You and the Jewish people, and we pray that President-Elect Trump will improve America’s relationship with Your chosen nation when he takes office. Finally, Lord, we thank You for blocking biological men from women’s facilities in our nation’s Capitol building. We pray all this in Your name, amen.

A whistleblower recently alleged that the FBI’s security clearance process is politically compromised. Luckily, as President-Elect Donald Trump seeks clearance for many of his cabinet picks, he has come up with a new plan to counter this corruption. By turning to private companies to vet administrative appointees, Trump hopes to bypass the FBI’s security clearance process altogether.

Many of Trump’s picks for his administration have strong, pro-Israel stances. From Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Israel Ambassador Mike Huckabee, experts feel that Trump’s picks may make his administration one of the most pro-Israel administrations in American history.

Progressive billionaires and nonprofits are descending on D.C., aiming to plot ways to oppose Trump once he takes office.

Let’s pray. Lord, we pray for Donald Trump and his administration as they transition into power. We pray for Your will to be done in the White House and beyond. Let the enemy’s attempts to stop him fail, and use our incoming President to accomplish Your will. In your name we pray, amen.

Sweden is preparing for war, handing out millions of pamphlets to its citizens, telling them how to prepare for a potential nuclear war.

As tensions rise, we pray for peace in Europe and for wise leaders in America who will resolve this situation.

Donald Trump may have won the presidency, but he’s not out of the woods yet. Marc Elias, an infamous Democrat election lawyer, is threatening Trump and his legal team. With thousands of lawyers behind him, he is a true goliath, aiming to bring lawfare challenges against the President-Elect.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home was attacked recently by three men who fired flares, igniting a fire next to the building.

As President-Elect Trump prepares to take office, the southern border is at the top of his to-do list. Speaking to CNN in a recent interview, House Speaker Mike Johnson stressed the need to send a message to the nations of the world, telling them that the United States’ “open door” at the border is being closed.

Let’s pray. Father, we lift up Ukraine and all of Europe before You. We ask You to calm the rising tensions and to bring peace. We also ask You to protect President-Elect Trump from all forms of lawfare and attacks, and we pray that You would bless his plan to regain control over our southern border. Finally, Lord, we ask You to protect Netanyahu and all of Israel as they war against terror. We pray all this in Your name. Amen.

The recount, largely involving high-speed scanners, must begin by November 20th, with results due by the 26th.

The Pentagon faces chaos as Trump targets DEI and its supporters, and the organization is now working to scrub all mentions of DEI from its websites. Insiders report an ‘absolute disarray’ and fear as Trump’s pending administration plans to cut DEI-focused senior military leaders, prioritizing combat readiness instead. An executive order to establish a panel for the removal of specific military officers is reportedly in the works, refocusing the U.S. military away from ‘woke ideology.’

Democrats aim to pass ‘radical’ sex education legislation in Michigan’s state House before Republicans take over in 2025. The proposed changes include allowing teaching about sexuality and abortion as a family planning method. Republicans argue it’s an overreach that undermines abstinence-based educational approaches.

A recent poll revealed over 75% of Americans support halting illegal immigration. Many also endorse President-Elect Trump’s upcoming deportation plan. Even within Democratic ranks, 61% deem stopping illegal immigration necessary.

Let’s pray. Dear Lord, we lift up the recount in Pennsylvania before You. We pray for a fair and just result. Additionally, we come against all DEI initiatives in the Pentagon, and we pray that our military would prioritize combat readiness over woke policies. We intercede on behalf of Michigan, and we pray that attempts to pass radical sex education legislation would fail. Finally, we ask You to give President-Elect Trump wisdom and guidance as he prepares to enact his deportation plan. We pray all this in Your name. Amen.

The Trump Administration welcomed fervent Christians, Governor Kristi Noem and Fox News host and veteran Pete Hegseth. Noem, who will serve as Secretary of Homeland Security, has fought for biblical principles as both a Representative and a Governor. Hegseth, chosen for the role of Secretary of Defense, also actively demonstrates his Christian faith, as seen in a prayer he offered live on Fox & Friends.

In related news, President-Elect Donald Trump appointed billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to manage the new Department of Government Efficiency. According to Trump, this department will provide “advice and guidance from outside of Government” and foster an unprecedented entrepreneurial approach to governance. Musk and Ramaswamy are the latest to be tapped by the president-elect to serve in his upcoming administration, joining an ever-growing list of remarkable conservative leaders.

Senate Republicans elected John Thune as their leader in Wednesday’s secret ballot, replacing Senator Mitch McConnell. Thune will assume his new role in January. He will be instrumental in helping President-Elect Trump enact his agenda in 2025 and beyond.

Special evacuation flights brought 2000 Israelis home after the attacks, signaling escalating fear and tension. Sa’ar calls for global solidarity, urging nations to secure their Jewish communities and combat this ‘new anti-Semitism.’

Let’s pray. Father, we lift up Trump’s future administration before You. We thank You for the Christians who will join him in Washington, and we pray that all who will serve in his administration will do so with wisdom and in a way that honors You. We ask You to guide the Senate’s new leader, John Thune, as he prepares to assume his new role in January. Finally, we pray against antisemitism around the world. We ask You to protect the Jewish people and their home nation, Israel. We pray this in Your name. Amen.

Republicans have now conquered the House of Representatives, securing the majority of the seats in the lower chamber of Congress. This victory means the GOP will have total control of Washington in 2025. With the GOP in charge, hot-button Republican agendas like tax cuts and border wall funding are back on the table, yet interparty disputes may still hamper legislative progress. 

Florida residents are outraged over FEMA’s political discrimination against Trump supporters. Former FEMA employees, however, claim this discrimination was not isolated, contrary to the agency’s claims. As allegations fly, we pray for the truth to be revealed.

Under the Biden-Harris administration, the State Department has been discriminating against men. Data from the Heritage Foundation suggests men are disadvantaged in promotion opportunities within various foreign service officer career tracks. This bias, implemented in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion, could lead to legal action.

Missourians recently passed a constitutional amendment enshrining abortion in the state’s constitution, prompting Planned Parenthood’s action. The organization is challenging several of Missouri’s pro-life laws, arguing they’re unconstitutional in light of this new amendment. If successful, Missouri may become an abortion hub and undo existing abortion restrictions.

Let’s pray. Dear Lord, we lift up our Republican leaders as they seek to control Washington. We pray that they will lead and legislate in a way that honors You. We also pray for the truth about FEMA’s and the State Department’s discrimination to be revealed, and we ask You to hold our federal government to a higher standard. Finally, we ask You to protect every unborn child in the nation. In Christ’s name we pray, amen.

Recent news surfaced of a former FEMA official instructing relief workers to avoid homes displaying Trump signs in the aftermath of this year’s hurricane season, demonstrating clear bias against conservative and Christian groups. As more and more anti-Christian bias is unveiled, it is becoming clear that there is a far more dangerous “demonic state” behind the “deep state.”

Exit polls in the presidential election revealed deep dissatisfaction among Americans about the country’s direction. Constituents are battling emotions of anger and despair, which are only being compounded by the lies and manipulation of the media. As believers, it’s up to us to counter these lies embedded in the culture.

Tomorrow, Senate Republicans will vote to replace their leader Mitch McConnell. Potential successors include Senators John Thune, John Cornyn, and Rick Scott. Whoever they choose will play an important role in working with the Trump administration and guiding congressional Republicans.

President-Elect Trump has started filling administration roles, tapping Thomas Homan as Border Czar. New York’s Representative Elise Stefanik was chosen as United Nations ambassador, bringing an “America first” and a pro-Israel message. Trump also tapped Stephen Miller, a former advisor, as deputy chief of staff. As he builds the rest of his cabinet and administration, the whole nation is wondering who he will choose.

Let’s pray. Holy God, we come against the federal government’s bias against Christians and conservatives. We ask You to expose and remove this corruption, and we also ask You to expose and remove the corruption in the mainstream media. We lift up tomorrow’s Senate leadership vote, and we pray that our senators will choose a godly man. Finally, we lift up President-Elect Trump as he continues to fill out his administration. Let him select righteous men and women of God. In your name we pray, amen.

The court ruled the Department of Homeland Security lacked authority to execute the order.

AstraZeneca is being held accountable for breaching a contract, promising to cover the medical bills of a woman injured by the company’s vaccine. While AstraZeneca claimed legal immunity under the PREP Act, a U.S. District Judge denied their motion to dismiss. This ruling allows for the progression of the woman’s lawsuit against the vaccine manufacturer.

The mainstream media suffered a devastating loss in the 2024 elections. Voters dismissed the media’s negative portrayal of Donald Trump, demonstrating a stark lack of trust in the legacy news. This result challenges the media’s control over information consumption.

Let’s pray. Father, we lift up Trump’s new chief of staff, Susie Wiles. We ask You to guide her as she steps into this new role. We also thank You for blocking Biden’s mass amnesty plan and for holding AstraZeneca accountable for injuries caused by its vaccine. Finally, Lord, we pray for honesty, integrity, and reform in the mainstream media. We pray all this in Your name. Amen.

After the election, Kamala Harris and President Biden delivered separate addresses to the nation. In her concession speech, Harris affirmed her commitment to America’s ideals and fighting for her principles. Biden commended Trump’s victory, ensured a peaceful transition, and called for unity, respecting the country’s decision.

As Trump readies for the White House, officials and activists are pledging resistance. New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul announced the “Empire State Freedom Initiative” alongside State Attorney General Letitia James. The two expressed their intentions to combat Trump should he try changing New York policies. Meanwhile, activists are forming a coalition to oppose Trump’s policies at the local level.

Trump’s election victory is invoking varied Middle East responses. Reactions range from hope for peace to stark defiance. Israelis expect more American support, while terrorists are demanding an end to what they call “Israeli aggression.”

Election Day saw pro-life victories in Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota. These states voted against enshrining the right to abortion into their constitutions, and Nebraska even voted to enshrine a 12-week ban. In contrast, seven other states, including Arizona, Colorado, and New York, approved measures supporting a constitutional right to abortion.

Let’s pray. Dear Lord, we pray for our country in the wake of a tumultuous and controversial election. We pray for unity and healing, and we ask You to unite Americans behind their new President in January. We pray that the incoming administration will support Israel, and we thank You for the pro-life victories we saw in Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota. We pray all this in Your name. Amen.

In the 2024 elections, Americans chose conservative values over radical, far-left ideals. Seen by some as a referendum or mandate signaling the nation’s dissatisfaction with its previous direction, it’s up to intercessors to pray that this change is permanent. Read the exclusive article by IFA President and CEO Dave Kubal and share your own thoughts at IFApray.org.

The 2024 election, marked by controversy and tension, resulted in a victory for Donald Trump and a shift to Republican control in the Senate. House votes are still coming in, but it is possible that Republicans may control Congress and the executive branch in 2025. Voters also weighed in on several ballot measures, resulting in both answered prayers and disappointments across the nation.

In his victory speech, Trump stated God spared his life to “restore America to greatness.” He confirmed triumphs in battleground states and spoke ardently about creating a “golden age” for America. His message highlighted his commitment to fight for America’s strong, safe, and prosperous future.

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Tensions arose over the current military campaign’s management, as the two disagreed over whether to draft ultra-Orthodox men into the IDF. How will Gallant’s dismissal and replacement affect the conflict in the Middle East?

Let’s pray. Lord God, we thank You for the many prayers You answered and are still answering during the election. We ask You to protect President Trump, Senator Vance, and everyone else involved in the incoming administration. We pray for a peaceful transition of power. We also lift up the war in Israel before You. Amid disagreements and personnel changes, we ask You to guide and protect Israel’s leadership. We pray all this in Your name. Amen.

In an incredible turn of events, Donald Trump has won the presidency, securing a second term in the White House. You can read about the election results and download a brand new prayer guide at IFApray.org.

A new amendment passed in 2022 revolutionized how executive power transfers post-election, affecting the 2024 presidential election. Fundamental changes include a quicker transition process, an escalation of criteria for congressional objections, and mandatory federal support for the winning candidate. Now, in the waning hours of a tumultuous election season, we’ll see these rules in action as the country prepares for a new administration.

Ahead of the US election, 150 Israeli Jews gathered in the ancient city of Shiloh to pray for America. This event, hosted by Yisrael Ganz, aimed to reciprocate the longstanding support and prayers offered for Israel by many Americans. It is encouraging to know that, just as we pray for the Jews in Israel, those same Jews are praying for us and our elections.

Cuba, a State Sponsor of Terrorism, is intent on continuing its tirade against the U.S., regardless of any specific election results. The Communist Party’s official newspaper, Granma, vows to remain a “thorn in the side” of America.

Let’s pray. Father, we offer You our thanks for the election results that You ordained. We also thank You for leading the Jews in Israel to pray for our nation. Finally, we ask you to disarm the enemies of America and foil their plans. We pray all of this in Your name. Amen.

The Pentagon’s recent Directive 5240.01 authorizes the use of lethal force against American citizens. This shocking directive empowers potentially lethal military assistance to local law enforcement during political unrest situations. The directive’s vagueness raises concerns over potential misuse, especially toward protesters.

Democrats and mainstream media depict potential Election Day chaos. The media has flooded the news with headlines warning of violence, raising concerns of post-election unrest among Americans. Experts argue these headlines might inadvertently instigate violence.

The Pentagon reportedly neglected to provide overseas troops with absentee ballots, causing a stir among Republican lawmakers. Meanwhile, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services refused to provide Iowa with information about potential illegal voters on electoral rolls. As the election season draws to a close, it seems that the federal government is failing to adequately support the states as they run multiple elections.

Early voting reached record levels, with over 60 million Americans casting ballots early. Both political parties are reporting strong early turnout, especially in battleground states. Factors contributing to this surge include a desire for change and concerns about long lines and disturbances on Election Day.

This Election Day, we’d like to offer a prayer for election integrity taken from our prayer guide, “Prayers for Electing Righteous Leaders.” Lord Jesus, we pray that those involved in the electoral process would not be drawn into evil or take part in evil deeds. We pray that integrity and uprightness would guide them and that any who are unfaithful would be exposed for their duplicity. Father, You declare that those who walk righteously and speak what is right, who reject gain from extortion and keep their hands from accepting bribes will dwell on the heights in righteousness and will find their needs supplied by You. May they do what is right in Your eyes, Lord.

Former President Donald Trump has sued CBS News, alleging deceptive editing of Vice President Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview.

Speaking of Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson revealed that Obamacare may face significant reforms if the former President wins the election. Amid controversy, Johnson emphasized that this does not mean eradicating the policy but refining it. While Vice President Kamala Harris criticized this move, Johnson remained firm in the necessity for change.

Thousands of students recently convened at Texas A and M University for a large Christian event. Organized by Unite US, the gathering saw over 10,000 attendees, with hundreds reported to have been baptized. The event proved that God is still at work among America’s youth.

A recent survey revealed that nearly half of Gen Z voters have lied about who they voted for in the presidential election. This trend is attributed to the youth growing up during the hyper-polarized Trump era, making them more susceptible to perceived judgment. The report’s findings raise questions about the reliability and future of polling, as well as the political division in our nation.

Let’s pray about these issues. Holy God, we pray for truth and integrity in the media. We pray for our leaders on both sides of the political aisle, and we pray that they would bring necessary change after the election. We thank You for the students who attended the event in Texas and were baptized, and we pray that thousands more would praise Your name. Finally, we ask You to heal the deep political division in our nation. We pray all this in Your name. Amen.

It’s all about the election today. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that Virginia may purge noncitizens from voter rolls. It overruled a lower court that had prevented the removal of around 1,600 “self-identified” noncitizens. This move is a victory for election integrity. 

Kamala Harris’ campaign is preparing for post-election lawsuits, strengthening their legal team. More than 400 lawyers are already working on briefs before the results, and reports indicate that another 10,000 are ready to support their legal efforts. They are focused on monitoring Republicans and proactively responding to potential legal issues before and after polls. Despite the pre-election litigation, an intense legal period is anticipated post-November 5.

An Appeals Court sided with Republicans, blocking Mississippi’s post-election day grace period for mail-in ballots. This decision is different from the state court ruling in Nevada, which allows the counting of ballots without postmarks indefinitely after the election. The ruling drew criticism, with opponents claiming it particularly hinders military members, disabled individuals, and those living overseas.

The New York Times contacted conservative commentator Ben Shapiro and other conservative broadcasters to question election-related YouTube content. Shapiro makes a strong case that the Times, working with the far-left Media Matters organization is aiming to stifle conservative voices before the election. Shapiro believes this move is an attempt to pressure YouTube into demonetizing and thus limiting the reach of right-leaning content creators.

Let’s pray. Lord, we pray that we will trust in You with all your hearts and not lean on our own understanding. God, You are an “everlasting rock,” and nothing compares to You. We pray for Your will in all things. We pray that the will of men would be supplanted by the will of God and we pray for the will of Satan to be ruined. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Let’s start with election news. President Trump spoke from his heart to the faith community at an event with faith leaders, including IFA President/CEO Dave Kubal. He said, “We’re going through a lot of problems in our country. If you take a look at the anger and the problems we have, and the problem is it’s less based on religion now than it was 25 years ago — It’s the glue that holds it together.” 

The Nevada Supreme Court upheld a law permitting counting mailed ballots without postmarks after Election Day. The court ruling followed the attempt of the Republican National Committee and former President Donald Trump’s campaign committee to block this process.

In other news, a surprising voice is speaking out on media bias. Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos criticized media left-wing bias in an op-ed on Monday. He emphasized that journalists are now rated below Congress in trust and reputation surveys. Bezos wrote, ““It would be easy to blame others for our long and continuing fall in credibility (and, therefore, decline in impact), but a victim mentality will not help. Complaining is not a strategy. We must work harder to control what we can control to increase our credibility.”

Finally, a multi-faith coalition is urging the Supreme Court to uphold religious freedom. Christians, Muslims, and Jews are siding with New York nuns against mandatory abortion funding. The case will potentially be heard by the Supreme Court later this autumn.

Lord, we lift up every voter and every vote ahead of the election. We ask You to prevent fraud and to protect the election. We pray that Jeff Bezos’ op-ed will create a sea change in media. And we pray for the preservation of our religious freedom to refuse to fund abortion. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Recent developments suggest Amish voter turnout could significantly increase in the upcoming 2024 U.S. Presidential election.

Late Friday, Israel retaliated against Iranian military targets after enduring months of attacks. Launching airstrikes on Iran, Israel’s focus is exclusively on military locations, avoiding nuclear facilities or oil fields. Although Syria reported concurrent attacks with Israel’s strike on Iran, Israeli officials have made no mention of action in Syria.

Let’s pray. Lord God, we pray for Your will to be done in the elections and ballot initiatives nationwide. Help us vote biblically on every candidate and ballot initiative. We pray that the pro-abortion initiatives would fail and life would be protected. Finally, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Thank you for all that Israel is doing to thwart terrorism in the Middle East, which will impact the whole world. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A surge of Mauritanian immigrants is causing strife in Lockland, a small village near Cincinnati, Ohio.

We also pray that You would protect our police and fire departments from DEI ideologies and policies. Finally, we ask You to dispel the lies about transgenderism used to hurt kids. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Georgia’s Supreme Court recently blocked new ballot rules from Republicans. The G O P had sought to introduce new regulations mandating the hand counting of ballots, among other provisions. Although the Republican party intends to appeal, the high court’s decision means these rules will not be in place for this year’s election.

In additional election news, California, Colorado, and Hawaii residents will vote on state constitutional amendments defining marriage in November. The proposed ballot measures would bolster legal protections for same-sex marriage despite federal law already protecting it. Activists fear future backing for same-sex marriage may be uncertain, prompting these preemptive state-level actions.

In a recent development, Kamala Harris expressed intentions to eliminate the Senate filibuster. This strategic move is meant to facilitate the passing of radical legislation through Congress. According to a recent interview, Harris hopes to abolish the filibuster to pave the way for the codification of Roe v. Wade.

Let’s pray about these issues. Father God, we lift up Bill Gates’ trial in the Netherlands in November, and we pray for a just verdict that honors You. We pray for safe and secure elections in November, especially in swing states like Georgia. We also pray that You would inspire people to vote in a way that honors and glorifies You. Finally, Lord, we pray for Vice President Harris. We ask You to transform her into a leader who honors and boldly follows You.

Recent transcripts suggest former Fulton County, Georgia, special prosecutor Nathan Wade met with White House officials during his investigation into president Donald Trump.

Over the summer, the Supreme Court struck down the Chevron deference, a precedent that allowed agencies to interpret and define their ambiguous statutes. Despite this, the Department of Health and Human Services cut funding for Tennessee under Title 10 for refusing to offer pro-abortion counseling to pregnant women. At the heart of this issue is whether the HHS can, in a post-Chevron nation, reinterpret section 1008 of Title 10 against past precedent. Many are calling on the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear Tennessee’s lawsuit concerning this issue, which could have lasting ramifications on the power of federal agencies in America.
