Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!”

We have seen the corruption, destruction, and evil of those who rule nations and have no relationship with the one true God. We have experienced this firsthand for many years with leaders like Joe Biden and Barack Obama. They say they are with God, but their actions surely demonstrate otherwise.

We have seen drastic changes in government since President Trump took office. One of them is prayer. At Trump’s first cabinet meeting on February 26, he asked Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner to pray over the gathering. What he said next may shape the future of the world.

President Trump said, “Before we begin the Cabinet, I’d like to have Scott and a couple of people say a few things.” He asked where is Scott, who answered, “I’m right here, sir.” Trump continued, “This is a gentleman who’s going places—the head of HUD…. And you’re going to say grace.” Turner responded, “Yes, sir.” Trump said, “And then we’ll have our meeting, right?” Turner responded, “Yes.” The President said, “Thank you very much.”

Then Turner placed his hand on the President’s chair. Standing behind the President, Turner said, “Thank you, Mr. President. Let’s pray. Turner began, “Father, we thank you for this awesome privilege, Father, to be in your presence.

“God, thank you that you’ve allowed us to see this day.  The Bible says that your mercies are new every morning.  And, Father God, we give you the glory and the honor.  Thank you, God, for President Trump, Father, for appointing us.  Father God, thank you for anointing us to do this job.  Father, we pray you’ll give the president and the vice president wisdom, Father God, as they lead.

“Father, I pray for all of my colleagues that are here around the table and in this room. Lord God, we pray that we would lead with a righteous clarity, Father God, and as we serve the people of this country and every perspective agency, every job that we have, Father, we would humble ourselves before you that we would lead in a manner that you’ve called us to lead and to serve.

“Father, the Bible says that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.  But, Father, we today honor you.  And in your rightful place, Father, thank you for giving us this opportunity to restore faith in this country and be a blessing to the people of America.  And, Lord God, today in our meeting, we pray that you will be glorified in our conversation. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Let us ponder what Scott Turner prayed. IF the Lord heard this prayer, which I know He did, and He grants all that was petitioned, our nation will be healed. And in that healing, our nation will be blessed, as will the nations whom we deal with in righteous clarity, humility, and service.

Going forward, I would encourage everyone who reads this Daily Jot to join Secretary Turner in this prayer. It may, God willing, shape the future of the world.

The Marxist Democratic Party and mainstream media meltdown over President Trump standing up for America on Ukraine likely has a far deeper meaning than just Ukraine security. The US has given Ukraine over $300 billion since the Russian invasion. Where did all that money go?

News reports of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his family’s lavish spending trips in Europe give a clue—here is a good Las Vegas bet that the Biden family and a gaggle of Democrats are far richer than they ever were. As evidenced by the partial exposure of USAID money, the Democrats and the deep state are experts at laundering money and pilfering the US taxpayer. Trump threatens to end all that.

Let us recall that infamous radio soundcheck on August 11, 1984, when President Ronald Reagan “jokingly” declared, “My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.” Though possibly intended as a joke, the comment quickly escalated into an international incident. As someone who was involved in high-level politics at the time, I was never convinced that this was an unintentional joke by the president. He once again sent a strong message to the Soviet Union. And yes, it put the world on edge, and just like the Trump-Zelenskyy exchange, the Democrats and the media went crazy. Has it been so long since America had a real American as its leader that we have forgotten what putting our country first looks like?

Zelenskyy was disrespectful to America and to the office of President. Trump was right to boot him out of the White House and tell him not to come back until he wanted to talk peace. The Ukraine-Democrat romance is coming to an abrupt end. And that means that the money-laundering gravy train is also pulling in to the last stop on the line—Accountability. Surely, everyone that was on that train is going to be upset. Think I’m making this up? Just look at previous Biden family dealings in Ukraine that were exposed during the whole Hunter Biden laptop fiasco that the Democrats and deep state tried to characterize as a Russian election interference operation. Hunter received his daddy’s pardon for all these things he didn’t do—and Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian crime cartel were all part of it.

Yes, we support the Ukrainian people, and Russia is the aggressor. But no, there should be no more money flowing into Zelenskyy’s dictatorship and oligarchy crime cartel without strings attached. Like Trump said, the war with Russia would have lasted about two weeks if not for US weapons. Instead of trying to bully America into starting World War III with NATO support and more killing, Zelenskyy and his Democrat buddies need to be talking peace. It is high time the Democratic Party-Zelenskyy Cartel comes to an end and good faith to American citizens is restored.

Proverbs 16:7 says, “When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”

Let us pray this is so as the president decides how to deal with these issues and the people who caused them.
