As the shutdown continues, SNAP benefits are scheduled to expire for millions of Americans on November 1. To counter this, some Democrats are pushing a hill designed to keep the funding floodgates open.
Visit your state page to pray.
From POLITICO:
The legislation, led by Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), could draw Democratic support away from a rival bipartisan plan by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), which pushes USDA and the Treasury Department to fully fund November benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the nation’s largest anti-hunger initiative.
Luján’s bill, on the other hand, would require the administration to fund both SNAP and a separate food aid program serving low-income women and children. It would also require that states be reimbursed for funding benefits during the shutdown.
Most of the Democratic caucus, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Agriculture Committee ranking member Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), have signed onto the latest legislation, though it notably has yet to pick up any Republican co-sponsors.
POLITICO notes that, if SNAP benefits do expire, it would be the first time in modern history. According to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, it would cost the USDA $9.2 billion to fund “SNAP benefits, administrative costs and nutrition block grants for U.S. territories” in November—money the Secretary says her department does not have.
Senator Luján, the standalone bill’s sponsor, challenged this claim. He said in a statement, “Let me be clear: the Trump administration has the authority and the funds to keep SNAP running.”
GOP leaders, meanwhile, do not seem keen to vote on the bill. Speaker Johnson reportedly called it a “waste of time” to vote on standalone funding bills during a government shutdown.
With SNAP benefits set to expire and the government shutdown entering its fifth week, let’s pray!

Lord motivate and show us as your followers how you want us to step in and feed the hungry as you called us to do. Make us aware of and compassionate to those truly needy. Give us the faith to believe you will abundantly provide so that the needy become drawn to and dependent on you not government.

In light of Romans 8:28 and 2 Thessalonians 3:10, if the individual (or single mother/single father) is an able-bodied person and able to work (at the place of employment off- site OR remotely) that individual should be working.
*For better governance, oversight and quarterly audit reports to prevent our country from going into “economic stagnancy”
FATHER GOD please awaken many able-bodied people receiving government benefits to desire to work. I remember my Bible saying “if a man doesn’t work, neither shall he eat.” Help them to have what they need during the government shutdown; and then help them to desire the “best gift” which is self sufficiency with JESUS’ help to stop depending on anyone but JESUS CHRIST to “supply all of our need according to HIS riches in GLORY by CHRIST JESUS!” Send laborers to lead many to CHRIST and send angels to put down stealing from Grocery Stores in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!
FATHER GOD please convict democrats to reopen the government. This snap bill would not be necessary if the government is reopened. I bind the demons leading every democrat and loose the Anointing of HOLY SPIRIT to fall on them. Let them desire righteousness and to have GOD directing their lives. Also FATHER GOD please help our government to obey the laws of the United States by removing 59% of illegals from receiving ANY taxpayer benefits including SNAP. Let them all have a desire to “self-deport” quickly to be able to legally re-apply for entry into the United States in JESUS NAME! Amen!
Father, Mighty God, awaken Your sons and daughters to arise and take up the need to supply food and other help for people in need. Let Your glory be seen now, Lord. Amen
DEAR LORD GOD
PLEASE KEEPTHE GOP SHARP AS THE CORRUPT DEMS WILL TRY TO SNEAK TREASONOUS IEMS INTO THE BILL THAT WILL HURT US ALL . THWART THEM IN THEIR EVIL DESIRES AND DESIGNS.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Jesus fed the multitudes!!!
Yes, Jesus did! Without any nuance of hatred, demonic manipulation or malfeasance – and with complete love and compassion without criticising others!
JESUS fed the multitudes that were following Him and being taught by Him! He said that they were like sheep without a shepherd. JESUS also said if a man doesn’t work, neither should he eat! JESUS taught dependency on GOD the FATHER to supply all of our need; not dependency on any government system.
Lord, make a way where there seems like there no way. Give our leaders Your wisdom and discernment- IN Jesus Name!
As a person who only has SNAP benefits coming in and no money for things like rent, toilet paper, a haircut etc., I have to keep my eyes above the waves. I have to focus on Jesus because if I don’t fear will drown me. My prayer is still for servant leadership and that the glory will go to Abba for the turnaround to come.
Amen! I agree that our GOD will supply every one of your needs through CHRIST JESUS today! In JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!
Are you part of a church or Bible study or fellowship of Christ followers. Christ calls them to help you, especially if you have no family willing to help. Even if you are not part of such a group seek one out and present your case. i believe you will find more help than expected. Even living in a small town of 3k, there are at least 5 outreach groups/programs that help with rent and utilities as well as food.
Another attempt by dems to leverage hungry people? They could just vote for Josh Hawley’s bill if they really cared! They could just open the government, if they really cared. YHVH, please open eyes, and humble the proud.
I agree.. the Dems are hoping Republicans will cave in November, so this is the Dem’s first step toward compromise! Praying for no compromise.. if that happens, we have lost.. the last month will have been in vain. 🙏🙏🙏
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!
Once again, more politics as usual. Lord Jesus, You alone know how this voting for the SNAP bill voting will go. Please, give our governmental leaders guidance and wisdom regarding how they choose to vote on this important piece of legislation. Thank you Jesus.
