Dear John,
Thank you for joining us in praying for Congress the past several weeks as they worked to elect a new Speaker of the House. We are grateful for your enduring support and your prayers.
I was able to deliver your prayer pledge for House leadership to the GOP Conference, via the conference vice chairman, Mike Johnson on October 11th. Several members expressed their thankfulness for your prayers that God would grant them wisdom in such volatile times as these.
Today, by a remarkable display of God's grace and power, Republicans in the House of Representatives unanimously elected Mike Johnson of Louisiana's 4th District to serve as the new Speaker of the House. We want to congratulate Speaker Johnson on his election and are confident that he will be a Christ-centered leader who will serve the people as he stands firm for biblical values in our government.
The past few weeks have been chaotic and uncertain but looking back, we can see the hand of God at work in our House of Representatives. We prayed for a strong, pro-Israel, America First Speaker of the House who was committed to biblical truth and God answered our prayers. This afternoon, Speaker Johnson's first order of business was to pass a resolution in support of our greatest friend and ally in the Middle East, the State of Israel.
We celebrate with the new Speaker as we recognize that this is truly a win for our nation. With a Speaker now in place, Congress is no longer paralyzed. While this is a huge victory, we recognize that there are still numerous challenges ahead of us.
With Israel desperately needing our support as they defend themselves against the terrorist group Hamas, and the U.S government set to run out of funding in a few weeks unless Congress approves a budget, there are many issues that need to be urgently addressed that require incredible wisdom and courage.
That is why we are calling on you once again to pray. For the next 21 days, will you join us in praying for Speaker Johnson? With government funding set to run out on November 17, these first 21 days will be vital.
To help guide your prayers, FRC has created a 21-day prayer guide for the new Speaker of the House.
Speaker of the House Prayer Guide
Ultimately, we know that God is the only hope for America--and He is still on the move on Capitol Hill. Now is the time when we as believers must continue in intentional and steadfast prayer for our government leaders. Will you join us?
Thank you for signing the pledge below and praying with us for our new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
Prayer Pledge for Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson
I pledge to pray for our nation, our congress, and our new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, for the next 21 days. I will pray that God would grant our new Speaker wisdom and courage in these volatile times so that he may lead the House of Representatives in accordance with biblical truth and all righteousness.
