After a great deal of tension and infighting, the House managed to pass a continuing resolution almost entirely along party lines.
From Fox News. House Republicans passed a federal funding bill backed by President Donald Trump largely on their own Tuesday.
Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.
It also marked one of the rare occasions in recent memory that a majority of House Democrats voted against a bill that would prevent a government shutdown.
The bill passed largely along partisan lines in a 217 to 213 vote. Just one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted against the bill. One lone Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, joined the rest of the GOP in advancing it. …
The measure, a short-term extension of fiscal year (FY) 2024 funding known as a continuing resolution (CR), will now head to the Senate. It must pass there and get to Trump’s desk before the end of Friday, March 14, to avert a partial shutdown.
In a major victory for Trump and House GOP leaders, however, several House Republicans who professed to never have voted for a CR supported the current bill. …
And despite passing the House, the legislation could still see an uphill climb in the Senate. At least one Republican there, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has already rejected the bill.
Republicans will likely need the help of as many as eight Democrats to meet the upper chamber’s 60-vote threshold.
The bill includes an additional $8 billion in defense dollars in an apparent bid to ease national security hawks’ concerns, while non-defense spending that Congress annually appropriates would decrease by about $13 billion.
There’s also an added $6 billion for healthcare for veterans. …

I agree with Maggie’s prayer, Lord, and simply add a prayer that You work in our Congress members to bring conviction if they are simply be obstructionists for the sake of obstructing an agenda because of whose it is, or because it doesn’t belong to them and/or their party. These are poor reasons on which to base a personal vote. Please raise up statesmen to serve in our Congress, and retain any who are already there.
Lord of hope, we thank you for the work of our congressional representatives to work for stewarding the resources you have graciously given our nation. Since your Word tells us that we do not battle flesh, but demonic forces, we ask to bind all demonic agendas that would oppose your purposes for our future and allow a just spending agenda without graft to pass the Senate today, in your Holy name, King Yeshua. Amen
