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!

Shame on the Senate Republicans, May the bring more Christian conservatives to the Senate. Heavenly guide the house republicans in fixing the disaster the the Senate made of the BBB. Amen.
In the name of Jesus, I. Decree and declare a wall of fire around our representatives with God’s glory in the mist. The enemies voice is being silenced and they will hear clearly and see clearly to vote with wisdom and understanding that right will prolong in our land, in the Jesus name I pray.
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
Pray for both parties to come together pass Big beautiful bill for our nation and for hard working Americans and this is not the time for other politicians being selfish but this is time for Americans who work day after day to provide for their family. In Jesus name 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.
Father God, in Jesus ‘ name, we thank You, for Your wisdom, mercy and grace, as these men and women in seats of authority, hear You, and that Light shines in to all darkness, exposing, plans that are not of Your will, Your plan,, of heaven on earth. Now, in this land you the living, America shall be saved!!! Revival Restoration, Hallelujah, thank you, Lord, for all you’re doing, and all you’re about to do it’s all good! Hallelujah, we believe, we receive, and we agree with each other, your Word sent, And it is written, it is done, we are Overcomers, conquers, winners, victorious in Christ Jesus, amen…
I believe God will give guidance to all of our legislators I pray that they seek it and follow it.
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.
I pray everyday for: Our Country, Trump and family, Patriots, discernment, protection against evil.
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.
I agree, Dona!
Your will be done!
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.
Amen!
Yes! AMEN!
Sadly nothing will happen for us seniors. They are to busy giving our taxpayer money to illegals
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.
Father of our Nation, Creator of all, Mighty God, we humbly ask that Your will be one on earth for America as it is in heaven. Lead us not into temptation of selfishness and deliver us from those who wish to do evil against Americans. May our President Trump have the Congressional power on earth to do Your heavenly work in America.
In Christ Jesus’ name, Tetelestai
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
Lord Jesus, I pray that Your will may be done with regards to the BBB. I pray for wisdom and guidance for each and every person who is involved in the process of passing this piece of legislation. Thank You Jesus.
Dear Heavenly Father please speak to each person who is voting to do your will. You know what is best for our country. May your will be done. In Jesus Name Kathy
Father God, we thank you because we know that you are with us and you love us we repent of our sins against you Jesus and we pray your hand upon the big beautiful bill for godly wisdom discernment and your will to be done. We love you, God and we trust you, you are faithful and true amen.
I continue to ask that you have YOUR way Father in the powerful name of Jesus! You are the only one who’s opinion and decision really matters. Have YOUR way for all our sakes. Amen
Lord that your Spirit will guide us all as a nation. Let Your Spirit reign. You are Sovereign. You are God.
