I Prayed have prayed
Lord God, thank you for the courage of Senator Johnson. Protect our nation from the harm of unnecessary spending and debt.

The current COVID relief bill, HR 1319, American Rescue Plan Act 2021, has passed the House and is now in the Senate. It has a formidable opponent in Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.

According to Politico,

a Senate Democratic aide said they are still waiting for the official cost estimate before bringing their newly revised Covid-19 relief bill to the floor. There won’t be the initial procedural vote tonight as Democratic leaders had hoped.

In essence, this means the first procedural vote would happen as soon as tomorrow, but we still don’t know when that will be. And after the procedural vote, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson will force the bill to be read aloud by Senate clerks. The reading will take about 10 hours.

After the 10 hours, then there will be up to 20 hours of debate on the floor.

After that floor debate, then the vote-a-rama will occur — which will go on until senators decide to no longer offer amendments. It could stretch into the weekend.

 Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) to force the reading of a bill that clocks in at more than 500 pages threatens to kick the Senate’s work into the weekend. Johnson said he will stay on the floor to ensure the Senate clerk has to read the entire thing.

“That’s what I’ll have to do,” Johnson said. “It’s not about delaying things. It’s about educating the public about what this bill is and what this bill isn’t. And it isn’t a Covid relief bill.”

Senator Johnson needs your prayers! Will you commit to pray for him? Share your prayer in the comments!

May God bless Senator Johnson and any other republican senators willing to stand with him. Helping those in need is important. It’s all the garbage that’s been thrown into this Bill that shouldn’t be. Lord please hear our prayers.

We the American people do NOT want this bill to pass
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has been giving some information on the waste that is in it! For God’s sake and ours do not let this be another nail in the coffin for America. We are supposed to help other nations with the gospel and we cannot do that if our own economy is destroyed! Thank you! Republicans please bring common sense back to Washington and fight for those who elected you!

Wow this is despicable. Why are only Democrats rising up to help the people of this country? WE as Republicans are supposed to be the ones helping others but instead we chose to stand in the way of assistance. Shame! Shame on Ron Johnson and all who support him! He panders to those who do not care for others as his very constituents lose their homes and livelihoods due to COVID. I fear I will have nowhere to turn if the Republican party continues to dishonor God our Father is such a way. They clearly care nothing for us. Jesus help us. We cry out to you! Amen.

    Praise God for Senator Johnson wanting to educate the public on a bill that will bring tremendous debt to our nation, it is critical to expose all the parts that are not even related to COVID-19 (and cut them out). This bill misrepresents what it is for. Bringing the truth to light is the job of our civil servant representatives in Washington DC. It is shameful that many have stuffed this bill with outrageous things that will only weigh down our nation. People need to recognize a broken system that desires no accountability or transparency! Thank you senator Johnson for taking a courageous bold righteous stand, we need more representatives like you,

    Sue Ellen, do you know what is in this bill? The title does not indicate where all the money is being sent. We as Americans need to be informed. Money does not grow on trees.

Lord, thank you for Senator Johnson and the work he is doing. Please give the American people a supernatural ability to understand the bill in lay terms as it is read, which is written in legalized language. Please annoint the clerk that will read the bill with an articulate speaking voice, appropriate voice volume and strength to endure the reading. Let there be no distractions or interruptions to confuse the listening audience. Bind any and all evil attempts by democrats to disrupt, create chaos, or twist the truth. Reveal God’s truth, shock the senses, and let common sense rule the day! Father God, open ears, hearts and minds! Jesus, Your will be done, show us a miracle, and let Your justice prevail!! In Your name, YES AND AMEN!!

Father, we thank you for Senator Johnson’s wisdom in calling for the bill to be read.

We pray other senators will stand with Senator Johnson and call for the numerous amendments also to be read – and then let the citizens respond by writing to their senators expressing informed concern.

Expose the flaws in the plan, including the enormous amount of spending that will further cripple our economy.
Reduce excess unemployment income that is an disincentive for individuals to return to work –
Expose pork projects, especially those which benefit progressive left agendas and/or bail out individual states.

We thank you for provision for the poor, yet we abhor foolish spending and the incurrence of additional debt.

In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen

Thank you, Lord for another fine leader willing to face persecution and take a stand. I pray your blessing on Senator Johnson and Your covering over him. I pray that You, by the power of the Holy Spirit would continue to strengthen him with might in his inner man so that he will be able to continually stand. Grant him also the physical strength to endure. Lord, I pray that this man’s courage would be contagious and that others would follow his example. In the Mighty Name of Jesus I pray. Amen!

We are very grateful for Sen. Johnson Lord. Strengthen him, give him your continuous favor, wisdom and protection. We ask that this detailed reading would become a “norm” for more legislation and that the average citizens of this nation would pay attention, rise up and fight AGAINST the waste spending of our leadership. We pray that more people would call them out on the waste and demand it’s removal. We pray that other lawmakers would join in support of Sen. Johnson and stand up for the people of this nation. In Your name we pray amen.

Senator Johnson, I commend you for standing firm until the public has all the information on this bill. Too often, in my lifetime of nearly 8 decades, we have seen bills passed that have little content relating to their title or purported purpose. I would further like to see a bill put forth that prohibits piggybacking items that do not relate to the original. Each bill should have only one purpose. That would ensure clarity for all, including those voting on them.

I pray that you would be able to have the strength it takes to ride out the hours needed to complete the reading of this bill, and that you will be able to convince your colleagues to really take into account what is being put forth, before they actually vote on it. It is my prayer that the good of the American people will prevail. Thank you for championing this effort.

I commit to pray for Senator Johnson and thank him for the wisdom he has shown.

Father, I pray as this monster is read, the Holy Spirit would impale every heart in the room. I pray no one present will leave unchanged. May the Spirit of the Living God fall upon every man and woman in that place. I pray this and everything in the All Consuming Power of Jesus Christ. Amen
