Local (Community): Pray for citizen journalists in Riverside County and California Congressman Darrell Issa.
(Editor’s Note: Riverside County is one of California’s most populous counties, with more than 2 million residents. Its communities encompass the Inland Empire, Coachella Valley, growing suburban areas, agriculture, tourism, and significant transportation corridors. Citizen journalists can play an important role in informing residents about local government, public safety, education, elections, development, and other issues affecting their communities. Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, 72-years-old, represents California’s 48th Congressional District, where issues including economic growth, transportation, public safety, veterans, and federal policy affect constituents.)
Scripture: Proverbs 2:6 — “For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” (NKJV)
Prayer: “Father, raise up faithful citizen journalists throughout Riverside County who pursue truth with wisdom, fairness, courage, and integrity. Help them verify information before reporting it, distinguish fact from opinion, and give those they cover a fair opportunity to be heard. Bless Congressman Darrell Issa with wisdom and discernment as he represents the people of California’s 48th Congressional District. Give him sound judgment, integrity, and a commitment to faithfully carry out the responsibilities entrusted to him. May truth and justice guide both those who report the news and those who make public decisions.”
County/State: Pray for California State Senator Dave Min and California State Assemblymember Joe Patterson.
(Editor’s Note: Democratic 50-year-old California Senator Dave Min represents the 37th Senate District in Orange County. Republican 44-year-old California Assemblymember Joe Patterson represents the 5th Assembly District in Placer County just north of Sacramento. Both legislators serve constituents with diverse concerns involving education, public safety, transportation, housing, economic opportunity, government accountability, and the future of California communities.)
Scripture: James 1:5 — “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” (NKJV)
Prayer: “Lord Jesus, grant Senator Dave Min and Assemblymember Joe Patterson wisdom, humility, courage, and steadfastness as they serve the people of California. Help them listen carefully to their constituents, examine evidence honestly, and consider the consequences of legislation before them. Give them the ability to work through differences with civility while remaining faithful to their responsibilities. Guide them toward decisions that promote justice, public safety, educational opportunity, economic opportunity, and the well-being of California families and communities.”
Nation/Nations: Pray for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and California State Controller Malia M. Cohen.
(Editor’s Note: Marco Rubio serves as United States Secretary of State in the administration of President Donald J. Trump, leading the Department of State and carrying responsibilities involving American diplomacy, international relations, foreign policy, and the protection of U.S. interests abroad. California Democratic State Controller Malia M. Cohen serves as the state’s chief fiscal officer and is responsible for overseeing and reporting on the state’s financial activities, administering important public funds, and providing accountability regarding California’s finances.)
Scripture: Proverbs 15:22 — “Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established.” (NKJV)
Prayer: “Heavenly Father, grant Secretary of State Marco Rubio wisdom and discernment as he carries the responsibilities of representing the United States in the community of nations. Give him patience in diplomacy, clarity in difficult circumstances, and a commitment to truth and peace where possible. Bless California State Controller Malia M. Cohen with wisdom, integrity, and careful judgment as she carries out her responsibilities as California’s chief fiscal officer. Help her provide accurate financial information, promote accountability, and faithfully serve the people of California. Give both leaders wise counsel and the courage to act responsibly. May their decisions be guided by truth, justice, integrity, and a sincere commitment to the public trust.”
