‍Prayers for the World‍

• For the EPA which on Tuesday said it is issuing draft plans to overturn the agency's 2009 scientific finding that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare — a move guaranteed to spark litigation. The "endangerment finding" provides a key legal underpinning for regulating heat-trapping gases from cars, power plants and more under the Clean Air Act.
• For Cambodia and Thailand which on Monday agreed to an "immediate and unconditional" ceasefire in their escalating border dispute. 
• For the US Senate Banking Committee which unanimously advanced landmark housing legislation on Tuesday, marking a rare area of overwhelming bipartisanship in a divided Congress. The Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream to Housing Act of 2025, sponsored by Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and ranking member Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), includes proposals that aim to expand and preserve the housing supply, improve housing affordability and access, advance accountability and fiscal responsibility, and improve oversight and program integrity.
• For peace around the world in Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Iran, Syria, Palestine, Myanmar, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi.
