House to Take Up GOP Budget Resolution Next Week

(The Center Square) – After six hours of failed amendment votes, the U.S. Senate adopted Republicans’ budget resolution to fund immigration enforcement in a 50-48 vote early Thursday.
Who is praying on the wall?
U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted with all Democrats against the legislation.
The budget resolution directs the congressional Judiciary and Homeland Security committees to craft a budget reconciliation bill – a filibuster-proof vehicle for adjusting federal spending – that pledges up to $140 billion for ICE and U.S. Border Patrol over the next 3.5 years.
The House, however, won’t take up the measure until at least Monday, and some House Republicans want to expand the scope of the budget resolution beyond immigration enforcement funding.
“If it comes over and that’s what I’m confronted with, then I will vote for it – reluctantly, because they were missing a huge opportunity to get a lot of good stuff done,” Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., told reporters Thursday. “We’re wasting a reconciliation bill.”
Reconciliation is a last-ditch effort by Republicans to finish the fiscal year 2026 appropriations process and reopen the Department of Homeland Security, which has remained shuttered for 69 days.
A hybrid Homeland Security appropriations bill, which includes annual funds for all DHS agencies except ICE and CBP, has already passed the Senate and awaits a House vote.
But House Republicans are waiting to approve it until they see progress on a budget reconciliation bill ensuring funding for those agencies, which begins with the budget resolution.
If Republicans try to attach other policy riders to the bill, the path to reopening DHS could get even rockier and Republicans could miss President Donald Trump’s June 1 deadline for the reconciliation bill to reach his desk.
“We cannot allow Democrats to hold DHS funding hostage when our national security is on the line,” Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., posted on X Thursday. “Senate Republicans just locked in a $70 billion plan to fund ICE and Border Patrol and end the DHS shutdown, now it’s on the House to act. We MUST get this done.”
Pray for Congress to act with clarity and courage—and share this with fellow intercessors.

Lord, I pray for Senator Rand Paul and Senator Lisa Murkowski may that wake them up to vote with the Republicans. Please, Lord may they serve their constituents and not their own interest.
If they are not saved that they will come to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
In Jesus’ name.
Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.
Proverbs 8:13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.
Jeremiah 9:24 But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth—for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.
Matthew 16:23 “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path, because your thinking is from a human perspective, not from God’s perspective!”
Dear LORD, You are the Just God, the ONE and ONLY God. You are holy and righteous and You call all believers to live in alignment with You. I believe this is possible for all who put their hope in You. I do. Please be with our senators and representatives. Please weave justice into each and every vote. What You do endures forever. When You act, it cannot be added to or taken from. Your Word states clearly that with the proper respect shown to You, we will learn to despise evil. We will learn to despise pride and arrogance. I pray You will saturate those chambers and bring understanding to each member. May they…
🙏feel Your presence deeply and profoundly
🙏feel their responsibility deeply and profoundly
🙏be moved in fear, awe, respect… to vote rightly and with justice in each and EVERY occasion
I ask this for every party member. I ask this of my Great God who can do all things, great and small…nothing is impossible for You. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ who told a disbelieving Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path, because your thinking is from a human perspective, not from God’s perspective!” Please LORD, create in us great prayers not feeble ones, great obedience, not feeble attempts…lead us to the GREATNESS found in Your perspective. Amen
