This morning, August 15, 2025, 7:15 a.m., as I sit on my sofa in Colorado, President Trump is on his way to Alaska to meet President Putin to talk about Ukraine. CNN reports in an email:

The Air Force Once flight carrying US President Donald Trump has left Joint Base Andrews, bound for Alaska, where he will hold a crucial summit with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.

Trump will participate in a bilateral program at 3 p.m. ET and is expected to depart Anchorage back to Washington at 9:45 p.m. ET, according to the White House’s daily guidance.

What can we do? We can pray. I quoted Isaiah 64.4 yesterday:

For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

The principle is clear:

The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes. (Proverbs 21.1, NKJV)

President Trump has Jesus’ blessing for this mission:

Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. (Matthew 5.9, NKJV)

And our instructions are clear:

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. (1 Timothy 2.1, 2, NKJV)

Please join me (and hopefully thousands of others) in prayer.
