Reading Time: 2 minutes

UPDATE: The House has passed the Big, Beautiful Bill one day ahead of the deadline set by President Trump. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the President will hold a signing ceremony tomorrow at 5 PM ET.

The Big, Beautiful Bill has returned to the House, where some Representatives are complaining that it is no longer the same bill they passed in May. What exactly changed?

Find out when your state prays.

 

The Daily Caller covered some of the last-minute changes to the legislation, including:

  • Medicaid. Senator Susan Collins, a Republican holdout who ultimately voted against the bill, secured a $25 billion rural hospital safeguard fund. Taxes will not be increased to counteract this.
  • Green Energy Tax Credits. Senate Republicans scrapped a controversial excise tax and added tax credits for solar and wind projects.
  • Other Tax Credits. Senate Republicans added a new tax credit for contributions to nonprofits granting scholarships to elementary and secondary schools. The bill also now features a measure proposed by Democratic Senator Mark Kelly that “would restore the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) subsidiary asset test by increasing the asset percentage threshold from 20% to 25%.”
  • Artificial Intelligence. Senators voted 99-1 to remove a ten-year moratorium on AI regulation.
  • SNAP. Senator Lisa Murkowski, another Republican holdout, secured changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for her home state of Alaska. She claimed these changes will allow for “greater flexibility” for her constituents.

The bill also retained several key aspects intercessors prayed for, such as a provision to defund Planned Parenthood.

On Wednesday, representatives debated fiercely over the bill. Many Republicans decried it, calling its ability to pass into question. Representative Eric Burlison, a Freedom caucus member, accused the Senate of breaking its promises by failing to couple new tax cuts with spending cuts. Meanwhile, Representative Andy Harris, chair of the Freedom caucus, simply predicted disaster for the bill.

Representative Harris suggested that the President “get[s] the Senate back in town as soon as possible.” Otherwise, he suggested, “this is going to drag on until the end of next week.”

President Trump initially set a deadline of July 4, calling for the bill to be delivered to his desk by Independence Day. Only time will tell if lawmakers can meet this deadline.

For now, let’s pray. Let’s pray for God to move in the House and to give our representatives wisdom!

Something is wrong with American Christians when they celebrate 11 million people losing their health insurance, supercharged deportations of hardworking immigrants and children, tax breaks for the richest among us and no money to feed and help starving children in 3rd world countries. Christ does not know you. You are evil!!!

Lord God,
I pray that Your Hand, Your Spirit, and Your Angels move this Big Beautiful Bill thru to passing, and keep it free from pork, interference, Democrat inserts and any other bad ā€˜provisions’ that undo President Trump’s mandates, undo DOGE CUTS, or in any way do harm to our people and our Nation! Thank you for Your protection and strength to the Righteous Congress and Senate members who hear Your good intentions for the People. Give strength, determination, and the better arguments to Mike Johnson and all who will join with our President! Please Pass this Bill and get money back to the taxpayers ASAP! Please save our Country from all who are predators upon it!

Wow. You missed a key RINO move in the Senate. The RINO’s stripped out the SHORT Act and the Hearing Protection Act that would have restored gun rights that were taken from law-abiding Americans in 1934. Shameful.

Father in Heaven, Holy is Your Name! We ask that Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in our government as it is in Heaven! Please take away the evil opposition to everything that is true and right in Your sight. Give our godly government leaders the strength and the will to accomplish what You have purposed for our beloved country. Please take corruption, fraud, abuse and waste out of our government and our taxes. Let none of our taxes be used for evil purposes. Clothe our leaders who love You with Your full armor and let them do all to stand! Lift them up and protect them and their families. Deliver U.S. from evil, Lord, for Yours is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory forever! We ask, Lord, would You please let this Bill pass today, and let President Trump sign this Bill into law if it pleases You to do so? In the precious Name of Jesus we pray.

Father God, I pray that you will continue to embolden our congressional body to remain steadfast it cutting wasteful spending and the corruption that has infiltrated our government. I pray that your people will wake up to the evil that is running rampant in our government, our country and begin to get serious about repentance and calling out to you, to return to your rightful place within our government and in our lives!
I pray you thwart the enemies plans to enslave our nation into debt, corruption and the indoctrination of our children into demonic activities and beliefs about themselves and you!
Give wisdom to those we have placed in positions to represent our voices and most importantly, your voice in the business of managing our nation!

Lord Jesus, remove the personal blinders some Republican and Democrat representatives who hold fast, to their personal ideas, out of hatred for President Trump. May they vote to serve the people of America and trust this leader President You have put in the Office for “such a time as this”. You alone are Sovereign, Oh God. Please show Yourself mighty in this debate; may the vote be under Your guidance, resulting in Your will. Amen

Forgive us Lord. Over the years we have prayed little prayers for our legislators and the enemy got in with their help . While we did little prayers the enemy was building up their forces within the system. They learned how to use the system for their devious plans. May we continue to learn from you LORD what to do and how to pray.

Unfortunately our congressmen and senators have absolutely no spine. Why? Because most are on the take. It’s about how much money and behind the door deals they can secure for themselves. So the defund planned parenthood that was supposed to be 10 years is now one year. Medicaid for 1.4 million illegals. Tax breaks for the green new scam. I could go on and on. Why doesn’t our President put his foot down and demand that Congress and Senate keep the bill as written. Sorry people it won’t happen. And I’m not being a negative Nancy. I’m just speaking the truth. And this is why the Republicans always lose in the midterms. They have control of everything and they blame it on the Senate parliamentarian, which btw they have control over. The last time they fired one was in 2001 when the Republicans were in control. Sorry people but it’s corruption at its finest. I really thought things would change for the better for the American people. I think the corruption runs way too deep and if we don’t get rid of the idiots in our government America is doomed.

    Sadly, you are 100%. The GOP doesn’t realize the power they have to win over the American public because they always let us down by not doing what is best for America. It’s odd that 2 of the changes made to suit 2 of the worst GOP Senators we have didn’t win their votes in the end. Murkowski shouldn’t even be in the Senate but because of the corrupt voting practice of Alaska she is. We need clean elections as well as solid MAGA reps.

Father God I ask for clarity of thought and motives for each legislator. May those given to contention and strife be silenced by your peace. Those in captivity of darkness and deception delivered into the Light of Truth resulting in repentance and in place of arrogance humility. Father God, deliver us from the snares of the enemy that would keep our nation, your nation from drawing closer to you. Father God we need you in every facet of our lives. Rend the heavens and come down and make your presence known in every state, nation, and country. Let your righteousness, truth and justice prevail over all the earth in Jesus name, amen. Thank you Lord.

Father, asking You to bring the representatives into alignment with You. You placed President Trump in this position for such a time as this. Praying for this BBB to be successful, to be on the presidents desk today. That the defunding planned parenthood hold not be taken out of this bill and even brought back in a greater than one year defunding. Father, You know if this bill in the long run will indeed bring this country back into fiscal responsibility. You know! Father, bind these representatives to Your will and to Your purposes. Bring a spirit of unity, wisdom a willingness to support the president and more important to be used by You to align this nation to ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

Senior increase in SS is being overlooked. Years of payment into it and no even receiving cost of living yearly has put them in struggling conditions while illegal aliens are being given 5k monthly from seniors dwindling SS supply.
Pray for adequate monthly increases for them.

Father God, You are sovereign and You are good. We praise You for Your Word that is true and Your promises that are yes and amen. Lord, we lift our representatives to You and ask that You unify them just as Jesus prayed in the garden. Unify them in word and deed. We pray for this bill to be according to Your will, Lord and ask that You lead and guide those entrusted with making policy into Your way. We thank You Lord for the honor to walk with You and to seek You. In Jesus’ Name we pray, amen and amen.

Lord, please give these men and wisdom the wisdom to vote according to Micah 6:8 — to act justly, to lover mercy and to walk humbly. Let their priorities be people over politics. Please protect, O God the “least of these”–the vulnerable in our nation who struggle for daily survival–the homeless, the poor, our beloved elders and our children. Thank you God for your hand upon this nation for 249 years. Be glorified in this hour, O Lord!

Dear Heavenly Father, We thank you for your tender loving care. Lead our nation as a mother would her very own child. Grant that every American would be blessed by your provision of grace in this bill. Let not one American be forgotten in this bill, from the very least to the greatest. May there be provision made to help every one of us and may those provisions honor you. May we in turn, bless the nations with the abundance which you so graciously provide America.
Again, I pray, dear Heavenly Father, let not one American be forgotten. Thank you for protecting our little ones, yet to be born in this BBB. Cast your glance towards us and grant favor and help to our Representatives to hear you clearly. Speak to their hearts through your Holy Scriptures. Please grant them and our President, great wisdom, boldness and courage to stand for what is right, even if they stand alone. Thank you that we are never alone, when we stand with you. Lead us I pray. In Jesus name. Amen
