(Editor’s Note: Shasta County is located in Northern California and has a population of approximately 183,000. The county seat is Redding and serves as the economic hub of the North State. The region is known for its forests, outdoor recreation, agriculture, and strong tradition of civic involvement. Congressman James Gallagher represents California’s 1st Congressional District, serving the communities of far Northern California and working on issues affecting agriculture, water, forestry, wildfire resilience, transportation, and rural economic development.)
Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13: “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread…” (NKJV)
Prayer: “Father, raise up faithful citizen journalists throughout Shasta County who report with integrity, wisdom, and courage. Bless Congressman James Gallagher with discernment as he serves the people of Northern California. Grant him wisdom to make decisions that protect families, strengthen rural communities, encourage economic opportunity, and promote justice. May truth and righteousness guide every decision.”
County/State: Pray for California State Senator Megan Dahle and California State Assemblywoman Heather Hadwick.
(Editor’s Note: Senator Megan Dahle represents California’s 1st Senate District, one of the state’s largest geographic districts, encompassing much of Northern and Northeastern California. She has focused on issues affecting rural communities, agriculture, wildfire prevention, education, and economic opportunity. Assemblywoman Heather Hadwick represents California’s 1st Assembly District, serving many of the same North State communities with an emphasis on strengthening local economies, supporting families, improving public safety, and advancing responsible stewardship of California’s natural resources.)
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 6:35: “then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause” (NKJV)
Prayer: “Lord Jesus, grant Senator Megan Dahle and Assemblywoman Heather Hadwick wisdom, humility, and steadfast resolve as they serve the people of Northern California. Help them legislate with integrity, pursue justice, protect their constituents, and seek policies that strengthen families, communities, agriculture, businesses, and future generations.”

(Editor’s Note: Howard Lutnick serves as the United States Secretary of Commerce in the administration of President Donald J. Trump, overseeing programs that promote economic growth, international trade, technological innovation, and American business competitiveness. California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis serves as the state’s second-highest constitutional officer, supporting numerous state commissions, boards, and initiatives that influence California’s economic development, higher education, and public policy.)
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:15: “Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place” (NKJV).

Give both leaders hearts that seek justice, wisdom that serves the public well, and humility to recognize their dependence upon You. May Your favor rest upon our nation and our state as they lead.”
