Trump Delivers State of the Union Tonight Amid Shutdown, Iran Standoff, and Tariff Fallout
President Trump delivers his first State of the Union address of his second term Tuesday night before a joint session of Congress, with the gold medal-winning U.S. men's hockey team in attendance as his guests and over 40 House Democrats boycotting. The speech comes at one of the most turbulent moments of his presidency: a partial DHS shutdown over immigration funding entering its second week, an Iranian military standoff with over 150 U.S. aircraft sweeping into the region, and the aftermath of a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his signature tariff regime. Trump is expected to tout a new data centers deal requiring Big Tech to bear energy costs, highlight ICE's removal of more than 670,000 illegal immigrants, and make an economic case focused on working families — even as his approval rating with independents hits new lows and Republicans defend a razor-thin House majority heading into the midterms.

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.
— 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Scripture calls believers to pray for their leaders and those in authority — not because those leaders are always right, but because God works through the governing structures of this world to restrain evil and preserve peace. Tonight, as the president addresses the nation, Christians can hold both conviction and intercession, trusting that ultimate sovereignty belongs not to any administration but to the God who raises up and brings down rulers according to His purposes.
