A Trump-appointed judge has been assigned to hear the two lawsuits against President Trump’s emergency border wall declaration that have been filed in federal court in D.C.

The two lawsuits were brought by environmental groups and Texas landowners who argue the president’s move is constitutionally dubious and his reasons for the emergency are suspect. They’ve asked the court to halt any fence-building beyond the $1.375 billion Congress approved.

Mr. Trump has said he has found an additional $6.7 billion he can use, shifting the money from drug interdiction, military construction and a Treasury Department forfeiture fund.

Judge Trevor N. McFadden, appointed by Mr. Trump and confirmed to the court in 2017, will hear the cases.

Another lawsuit was filed Monday in California by 16 Democrat-led states.

Lawyers had said Mr. Trump’s opponents would have better luck by trying to get an Obama-appointed judge to hear their legal challenge. (Excerpts from Stephen Dinan article in The Washington Times)

Lord Jesus Christ we acknowledge that you are our source of help. There is not God beside you. We ask that you continue to extend mercy to this nation by closing our borders and making them secure. We recognize this as a battle between good and evil not Republican and Democrat. Satan is using people to try and keep the borders open so that drugs, sex trafficking etc. can continue. God have mercy on us for our sins are great but you are greater than our sin so we ask that your Holy Spirit be poured out on this dry land. In the power of Jesus name I pray.

Dear Father in Heaven,
You gave Nehemiah the task of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. John saw the walls placed around the future heavenly Jerusalem. We do not ask for selfish reasons to have a walls but we ask for walls to protect our homeland from those who choose to come in through illegal means and who would bring harm to our country. Lord, please bring righteous justice to bear on any judge that is hearing the cases brought by Texas and California and that You will stand in the gap for President Trump and the monies needed to secure our border with a WALL.

Father God show Your mighty hand of power through this issue of constant needling of our president. Encourage him, give wisdom and knowledge as to what should be done. Bring the right people into play. You are able to accomplish that which You deem necessary in order to bring Your will to pass. Let it be so in Your great name! Amen!.

I also pray that a holy revival will break out at the border. It only takes one to give his heart to You Lord, and You can change many others’ hearts as well. May Your Holy Spirit hover over those immigrants as well as the ICE patrol. I pray for order at the border. Thank you for moving Lord!

Father, I ask that you give Donald Trump the strength and courage to stand against tyranny and to build the wall that is needed to protect us from all foreign enemies. I ask that you fill the minds and spirits of each of the judges to find favor on behalf of our President to build the wall, to get justice against all corruption in our government and to pass a law to protect the sanctity of life. This I pray in your mighty Name above all names Yeshua.

Dear Father and Creator of the Universe and all that is good. I pray Your divine wisdom will attend to the hearing and Your justice will prevail. Hear the prayers of Your people who lift up the concerns of the needy and those who long for peace and righteousness and justice to return to our beloved America. Only You Lord!

I am horrified at the lack of respect of this article, which reminds us what we prayed about Re: the news outlets and the people who run them. Lord God, I ask a hedge of protection around our President, he is looking haggard. Lord I pray you would surround him with those he can trust. I pray that Prayer task force is happening with the Vice President and those that pray on the hill. I ask that you would make this crooked road straight before our President. I pray that all that goes on behind the lines that is not known publically will also go the way the President needs it to go. i pray a cleaning house of the FBI and DOJ and CIA, i pray justice would come back to our courts. I pray that all those judges still waiting to be confirmed after a year wait will be confirmed. i pray our military will be renewed and back this President not just with duty but with their whole heart. We pray all lies would be seen through, and logic and reason will return to these United States. in Jesus name,a nd for your glory Lord, Amen

    Lord protec, strengthen and refresh our President Donald Trump’s. We love him and love the good he is doing in our country. He cares about we the people, he loves justice and mercy. We believe you are for him and who can be against Him. The King of Kings is the great I am and no good thing will you withhold from those who walk uprightly. People are believing good is bad and bad is good just as you forwarded in the last days but we pray that our Almighty God will cause Righteusness to reign in our land and white house so that we can be a beacon of hope for the lost. We need you Lord and desire Your goodness be extravagantly bestowed upon Donald Trump. Bless him Father and may his efforts be honored as he does what is good and right in your sight. Praise the name of Jesus amen.

Even if a physical wall at our southern border is not built, Father, in the Name of Jesus I ask You to build a wall of fire there in the spirit realm and staff it with Your angels as Border Patrol, in order that no one with a heart to change this nation to match Satan’s motivations to steal, kill and destroy would be able to set foot or voice soundwave here. Protect this nation Yourself from evil, Lord God, regardless of what does or does not get done in the natural realm. As it’s written in Your Word, “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the Lord guards the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.” Therefore, Father, in the Name of Jesus I ask YOU to do something to secure of our southern border, whatever that is, and whether anything gets done to standard physically or not. Amen–so be it. Thank You, in Jesus’s Name.

Lord, let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Arise O Lord and let your enemies be scattered! Create a wall the enemy cannot overreach. Bind up witchcraft, stubbornness, and rebellion. Gag the enemy to silence, bound, and shackled, until judgment Day. We call forth reinforcements , join the heavenly army with the saints who have not bowed their knee to baal. Like David give your Servant President Trump (as Priest and KIng by the Order of Melchizadek ) a weapon of direct hit to take down the Goliath of this day. Expose, reveal, crush and destroy the agenda of the enemy. Fulfill Your purposes that Your Name would be exalted , The Holy of One of Israel. So be it!

Thank you Father for your favor, wisdom and President Trump. Praying for you to minister to our President, let his words be your words, give him the mind of Christ. I pray for law and order to returned to our land that you have blessed us with. Praying for a righteous judge to preside over this National Emergency that has been on going for over 70 years. Your will be done as you are a God of order that has promised if we humble ourselves and turn from wickedness you will restore our land in Jesus name. 1 Corinthians 14:33, 1 Chronicles 7:14

Dear Lord, holy and true, thank you that we can freely petition our King and our causes will be heard and adjudicated justly. Such is not always the case in this corrupt world. Please defeat the forces of legalism and mutiny against U.S. law and authority and allow this President to serve as you intend.

    Toni
    February 24, 2019

    Amen, Alan! Yes, it is key that our President is sensitive to the Voice of
    the Holy Spirit, and not listen to any other voice that might mislead him.
    May President Trump’s heart be fully aligned with God’s will for this nation.
    We need strong solidarity in standing for righteousness which includes protecting the unborn, allowing prayer back in school, teaching truth in our universities, respecting the rule of law throughout the judicial system and our land, and honoring the One True God who created us and our universe. May we all humble ourselves before Him and pray not only for our country but for our enemies and neighbors. Jesus is Lord, King of Kings and the great I AM and He is our only hope! The future of our country and the world depends on our believing and trusting in Him and His Word and standing strong.
    Could it be that simple? Yes, by His amazing grace only.

To better infirm our prayers it is important to understand that we are not talking about “ The Wall” but rather about a continuation of walk/barrier building that has been going on since the Clinton administration with bipartisan support. The only reason President Trump is having difficulties now is that the Democrat leadership is acting as obstructionists. Pray accordingly.

Lord, we ask for your supernatural hand in this court case. This president is having a horrific time fulfilling his campaign promises. It is his duty to protect the citizens
of this country and that can only be done now with a border wall. Thank you, Lord,
because I know that you know the outcome of this. Continue to bless our president every day as he works for the interests of the every day ordinary American.

    Amen & Amen! Thank you our Lord & Savior for what You are about to do after our confessions of our disobedience of Your Holy laws. Please hear and consider our petitions for Your blessings once again. Our faith is strong in You and what You are about to do for and in this fine country of ours which was originally founded on Your Holy principles by our founding fathers. You know what the liberal leftists, the foolish demon-inspired LOST leaders and their foolish followers have done to our country and we, the moral majority, ask for Your forgiveness for allowing these messes to get this far. We will pray, repent, and pray some more for Your blessings once again as we come back to Your guidance, commandments, and we will influence those around us as well. We love all peoples as You do and as You have commanded us. However, the “illegalities” are Not in Your Holy Will or blessings and we trust You to put an end to ALL these demoniac attempts. Please continue to bless and guide our President and Vice President and our godly leaders; give them the wisdom and power to carry out Your Holy Will. Please allow the wall to go up to protect us and to deliver us from All illegals and their selfish, demoniac, murdering ways. Thank You Jesus for dying on the cross for our horrible sins if we confess and repent, and for Your promise of heaven with You. Again, we are reminded in 2 Chronicles 7:14 wherein Your Holy Word says that: “If My people who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and heal their land” Amen!

Father we pray that nothing would get in the way of providing the wall of protection needed for this country. We ask that the spiritual walls would be built up around this nation as well as the physical walls. Thank you for raising up prayer warriors who can take the rubble and rebuild that which is torn down and lies and ruins. In Jesus name. amen.

For the Lord is our judge, our lawgiver, and our king. He will care for us and save us. Isaiah 33:22 (NLT)

Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus, Because these Words are True in Heaven and on Earth, I pray for a judicial ruling that reflects true borders that results in true safety for Americans north of a border wall, and discourages lawlessness south of a border wall.

Please continue to guide the lawsuit to a positive ruling for Americans. In Jesus’ Name ~ Amen

Dear Heavenly Father, Your knowledge and power are beyond human understanding so thank you for hearing our pleas. We ask that you be with this judge in D.C., but with all the judges who will be deciding these vicious lawsuits. I think a wall is a good solution (or partial solution) to the illegal traffic so I am asking you to help Mr. Trump as he tries to protect us. Amen

Heavenly Father, we are so thankful that you have made the way for us to come into your presence, Because of what our Savior and Lord, Jesus has done for us on the cross. I ask that your Holy Spirit would guide the judge and give us the victory for this wall which is needed. Lord lawlessness abounds but you are Greater and I ask that you lift up a Godly standard, and that you open peoples eyes, to see truth expose the evil so men and women may repent before it is too late. Please send your Holy Spirit to Draw all men, women and children to you before your return. Thank you that YOU are in control.

February 21, 2019

Our Father, we ask in Jesus’ name for wisdom and integrity to guide every decision regarding funding of the wall. We pray for our country’s coming together in unity to support this President who loves America and who embraces a culture of life. We lift up a neighbor who is suffering emotionally as a result of being viciously attacked and left for dead by an illegal alien (with a criminal record) who crossed the border in Texas. Even as we pray for security for Americans, we ask for hearts that are free from prejudice and free from ill will toward the innocent people who want to find a better life in America. We ask that the same standard held in most places in the world….legal entry only….would be granted our nation as well. A few years ago we crossed the border in Texas to shop and our documents were examined closely and we were interrogated before being allowed to enter Mexico, so let the same standard be afforded our nation. We continue to ask You to guide our President and this administration to carry out Your will for America.

Laura Nguyen
February 21, 2019

Dear Lord,

Hear my prayer and those of others who support Trump’s
side of this court case. Let Trump overcome all the obstacles put in his way by those who put their political agenda ahead of our nation. Help those who have property near the wall see the wisdom of stopping illegal immigration and help them come up with ingenious solutions that keep their community safe and yet maintain the neighborhood feel and spaciousness that motivated them to own land where they are.

Lord, we need you to keep people calm and reasonable. Give the judge discernment and an ability to communicate effectively his decision, a decision I pray will be in Trump’s favor and will set a precedent for further litigation.

You know I have so much more to ask of You regarding so many issues facing the country now. Again and again I have asked You to intercede and I have seen You work things out to Your glory. I praise Your Name and I pray that others may be brought to know and to love You. You are a faithful God and I know that whatever the outcome of the case, You are in control and that You are either causing it or allowing it to happen for purposes known only to You but which are larger, wiser and eternal.

Please forgive our sins as a nation. We know what we all have done to dishonor Your name, mostly out of ignorance, because we
truly did not know Who you were. We plead guilty and throw ourselves on Your mercy and that of Your Son, In His Name, Amen.

    J9

    TIME AS THIS TO HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO CARES FOR THE UNBORN!!
    MAY YOU BLESS HIM WITH GREAT WISDOM, COURAGE AND RESULTS AS
    YOU PREPARE HIS WAY FOR YOUR GLORY!! THANK YOU, ALMIGHTY LORD.
