Support the ShowTranscript: Good morning, today is August 26, 2025. Here are the stories we’re praying about today:1. The Flat Fire in central Oregon has destroyed several structures, including four homes, prompting evacuation orders for thousands of residences in Oregon and Northern California’s wine country as of yesterday. Hundreds of buildings in Oregon’s Deschutes County have been spared so far. Firefighters continue to combat the blaze amidst dry, hot conditions affecting both states.2. On Friday, the Justice Department released a transcript of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, who claimed President Trump was “never inappropriate” and a “gentleman” during their acquaintance, while denying former President Bill Clinton visited Epstein’s island or the existence of an Epstein “black book.” Maxwell expressed doubt that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide but offered no specific reason for suspecting murder. The interview sheds light on her perspective regarding high-profile associates.3. Letícia Paul, a 22-year-old Brazilian law graduate, died after a rare allergic reaction to iodinated contrast dye during a routine CT scan at a hospital in Brazil. The incident, which triggered anaphylactic shock, highlights the risks of a procedure undergone by millions annually. Paul had recently earned her law degree and was pursuing postgraduate studies in real estate and business law.4. A market sell-off in the software and services sector, driven by AI tools capable of coding, has led to significant stock declines, with a Morgan Stanley SaaS basket down over 6% in 2025. Companies like Asana, HubSpot, and Atlassian have seen drops of 29–30%, while Salesforce, Adobe, and ServiceNow are down at least 16%, as AI-driven competition from startups and cloud providers intensifies. The trend, noted on August 12, follows two months of investor withdrawals from the sector.Thank you for listening to News on Knees, a community prayer podcast by Story King Media. If you want to join the movement, I’m calling all believers, anyone who wants to pray for the world, their country, their region, a specific societal issue.
