For many Americans, Presidents Day — celebrated today — passes like a blip on the screen of life. You might receive a Presidents Day sale flyer in the mail from your local furniture store, so if you need a couch or a dining room set, you’re in great shape! Even here in our nation’s capital, it is mainly a holiday where federal government employees take a break from the rigors of public service.

But at Faith & Liberty, we still feel it’s good to remember this day as important in U.S. history. The day initially honored our first president, George Washington. Later, it was thought to include Abraham Lincoln, and now all U.S. presidents.

Perhaps the most significant and patriotic thing we can do today is to pray for our nation, for Joe Biden, and for free and fair November elections. Ultimately, we know that God is sovereign and uses us to install our leaders in office, as Daniel 2:21 reminds us:

“He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.”

At the same time, we recognize that “righteousness exalts a nation” (Prov. 14:34), so it is incumbent upon us to engage culturally and vote for national leaders who are committed to God and to His commands.

Let us pray today that all of our leaders will walk humbly with God, seeking His wisdom and His ways.

Thank you for joining us to pray for our nation today! Please see other important prayer requests below. We hope you will reference them through the week so we can unite in prayer for our ministry and our nation.

We also invite you to support the vital ministry of Faith & Liberty with your one-time or ongoing monthly financial gifts. It’s because of your support in prayer and finances that we are able to be in Washington and minister from our base on Capitol Hill. Thank you for standing with us as God leads!
