Thursday will be a big night in Washington, D.C. It will be Joe Biden’s third State of the Union address as he speaks on the state of the nation and on his administration’s priorities.

The annual address often reveals the division in our country. We see this as both Republican and Democrat members stand and applaud mostly along party lines.  

It is also expected that Biden will sharply contrast the differences between the two parties in this critical presidential election year and ask, “Whose side are you on?” The big subjects of the economy, border security, and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza are sure to be addressed.

So, how should we pray for America at this significant time?

Faith & Liberty is a nonpartisan ministry, and we pray for the members and leaders of all parties. We look to the Scriptures for guidance, and praise God for those in power who seek the Lord in their personal and professional lives. We know that a house divided cannot stand, so we pray for truth and unity, for the welfare of our country, for God’s will to be done, and that He would be exalted above all.

We’ll be doing a prayer walk that day with students from Cedarville University, and we invite you to also find a time of focused prayer for our nation. Many ministries will be praying regarding the State of the Union and its implications. If you would like to join Liberty Counsel and Liberty Counsel Action, together they will hold a Prayer Briefing this Thursday at noon EST. They invite you to call 681-999-0207 and dial access code 542574 to listen to some informative reports and pray along with these ministries.

Please also see our prayer points below. Thank you for your prayerful watch care of our ministry and our nation!

We leave you with this guidance on how to pray:

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (I Tim. 2:1-4).
