The President is reportedly planning to put the U.S. Postal Service under direct control of the Commerce Department, a move the USPS is expected to fight. What do you think of this plan?

From The Wall Street Journal. President Trump is making plans to disband the governing board that oversees the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the agency into his administration, throwing the future of the mail providerā€™s quasigovernmental status into doubt.

Post a prayer for your state!

Trump is preparing to issue an executive order, possibly this week, to fire the members of the Postal Serviceā€™s governing board and put the agency under the direct control of the Commerce Department, according to two government officials. The plan was earlier reported by the Washington Post late Thursday.

The Postal Service board is expected to fight the move and is exploring legal action, one official said. …

The plans renew questions over the future of the 250-year-old Postal Service. In December, Trump, when he was then president-elect, said at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida that he was thinking about privatizing the agency, a move he frequently pushed for during his first term. …

The first Trump administration attempted to privatize the Postal Service as part of a broader plan to reorganize the federal government, a step it said would cut costs and give the financially burdened agency greater flexibility in adjusting to the digital age. Labor unions protested, and the proposal failed to gain support in Congress. …

The Postal Service has been hemorrhaging money for years because of declining mail volumes, limits on what it can charge customers, and a costly mandate to deliver to around 168 million delivery addresses six days a week. …

For the 2024 fiscal year, the agency reported a net loss of $9.5 billion, which, after adjusting for workersā€™ compensation and retirement liabilities, resulted in a controllable loss of $1.8 billion. …

So many broken orgs. and depts. of our Government, needs much attention. We could make an innumerable list for sure! I would venture to say most of these have nothing to do with godly practices, or our spiritual growth, or a furtherance of our freedoms to share the gospel with our fellow neighbors and friends and family.
However, the postal service does indeed serve in this, in a way we can get our important gospel literature like study guides, devo books and even Bibles to each and every person in the world, if we had to. Also, checks that still get sent in mail, from companies that still do not do online deposits, is vital to receive on time and with certainty,not fear they have been lost or stolen.
So, those situations, are on my mind in this prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
So many areas of our daily life here in USA, are dependent on our local, state, and federal agencies working well, and accountable in their uses of our money and work of reputable employers / employees.
Lord, so many of these areas in these agencies are broken and need attention by the right people . We are thankful for answering our prayers in giving our country a President who is trying in appointing the best people in the offices to guide those in these agencies to be better and correct the problems. We pray for yoyr continued hand in tbe new organization of our postal services, so that mail would flow easily and not be interrupted too long. Many of us depend on it for receiving funds, for sending bill payments, and many gospel materials to send access to Your Word to get to those who need it most. May our prayers be within Your Will and Plans for us. Some areas may have nothing to do with our Christian lives or spiritual growth, but certainly to function well in out country and our relationships with other countries.
Please forgive us for any of our own failings in not being concerned or doing what we can by supporting and contacting our local, state and federal representatives to encourage them to Please Do Their Job, and find ways and mean to fix tbe broken pieces in our country!
Thank you for hearing our prayers.
Guard us, Guide us in our Walk with You through Jesus Christ as we travel in our communities and elsewhere
In His Name we pray, Amen āœļøšŸ›šŸ›šŸ›šŸ›šŸ™

Lord Jesus, I ask that you guide Pres. Trump. Father let people see that he is only about making America efficient and not wasteful with expenditures for too many agencies. the left leaning establishment does not like change and is downing, criticizing any move of Pres. Trump to better, in his estimation, our country. I pray You open their eyes Father, to the fraud and abuse which has occurred and to Trump’s businessman heart and experience to make us a better nation. I ask Your protection and blessing on our President and that peace and more unity would come to America. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, amen

We pray for wisdom for President Trump. We see how bloated the postal service is just like every other government agency. Most days all we receive is junk mail that goes straight into the trash. Why? We pray you’d give our leaders creative ways to slash cost. Just delivering mail every other day would cut many costs. We pray you’d show us how to make all of our agencies run without deficits every year. Show us how to be good stewards.
