This week, we’re praying for Virginia as early voting begins, competitive Congressional races, the return of Congress, pro-life voters, constitutional conservatives, military service members, and Republican candidates across the country.
If you’re just joining us, you can follow along with the complete 2026 Midterm Prayer Guide, with daily and weekly prayer focuses through Election Day and beyond.
September 13–19: Congress, Faith, Life, and the Military
by Jensen Young
Bonus prayer: Virginia: Early voting begins in Virginia on September 18, so pray for the entire Virginia US House Republican delegation, especially US Congressman Rob Wittman of CD 1 and US Congresswoman Jen Kiggans of CD 2.
September 13, 2026 — California’s 13th District: Continuing our prayers from yesterday in California, today we pray specifically for the 13th District and Republican candidate Kevin Lincoln to be victorious there.
September 14, 2026 — Congress Returns: The U.S. House and Senate are scheduled to return to session in Washington, D.C., after a Labor Day work period and campaigning. Pray that Republican members rack up policy wins and fundraising successes this week that help them win re-election in November.
September 15, 2026 — Derrick Van Orden and Wisconsin: Today is Wisconsin 3rd District Congressman Derrick Van Orden‘s birthday. Pray for his re-election and for the Wisconsin Republican delegation to maintain and possibly grow in strength.
September 16, 2026 — Louisiana Right to Life: Today is the second day of Louisiana Right to Life’s Youth Summit. Given the vast difference on the issue of life in the womb between the two major candidates in Louisiana’s U.S. Senate race, as well as in many other races across the country, please pray for younger and young-at-heart pro-life voters to come out in droves and vote Republican in this upcoming midterm election.
September 17, 2026 — Constitution Day and Louisiana Family Forum: Today is the Louisiana Family Forum Gala in Baton Rouge and Constitution Day, commemorating the signing of the Constitution in 1787. Pray for constitutional and faithful religious conservatives to come out in droves and vote Republican in November.
September 18, 2026 — U.S. Air Force: Today is the U.S. Air Force’s birthday, having been established in 1947. After you thank an Air Force member you know for serving our country, pray for military ballots from deployed service members to be received and returned to their respective states on time. Also pray for the success in Texas of Air Force veteran and Republican Study Committee Chairman U.S. Congressman August Pfluger, as well as for the growth and success of members of the Republican Study Committee.
September 19, 2026 — SEC Country and Tim Scott: LSU plays Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi, in its first SEC road game. Pray for Republican victories throughout the SEC and for wisdom in deploying resources for NRSC Chairman U.S. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, as today is his birthday.
Coming next: September 20–26, with first responders, California, voter registration, churches, pro-life organizations, Pray Vote Stand, and President Trump.

Facts First. Even When They’re Inconvenient.
Some outlets or groups tell you what to think. Others have discovered there’s an easier way to build an audience: tell people exactly what they want to hear. We’ve chosen a harder path.
At Citizens for a New Louisiana, we start with the evidence — public records, financial disclosures, court filings, voting records, audits, and original documents — and follow it wherever it leads. Sometimes the facts confirm what we expected. Sometimes they surprise us. Sometimes they disappoint our friends. Either way, we publish them.
That approach doesn’t always produce the loudest headlines or the easiest fundraising. But over time, it produces something much more valuable: TRUST. If you value independent Louisiana journalism that puts evidence ahead of outrage and principle ahead of tribe, please help us continue the work.
