As the Big, Beautiful Bill moves slowly through the Senate, the Trump White House is requesting $9.4 billion in DOGE cuts from Congress.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

From The Hill:

The White House on Tuesday sent Congress a request to claw back $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid and to public broadcasting — the first package that would codify the slashes spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

…

The package needs only a simple majority to pass in each chamber, allowing Republicans to bypass the threat of a Democratic filibuster in the Senate. Congress has 45 days to approve the rescission request after it is submitted — but must balance that timeline with other top priorities like the ā€œbig, beautiful bill.ā€

The House is aiming to vote on the package next week.

If Congress can pass this package, it would be a huge win for President Trump. It also might please some Republicans who were disappointed by the spending hike in the Big, Beautiful Bill.

While the measure’s text has not yet been revealed, it is expected to rescind billions in foreign aid previously approved for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). DOGE dismantled USAID earlier this year.

As the House prepares to vote on this measure, let’s pray. Let’s pray for wisdom and fiscal responsibility for our lawmakers!

Isn’t both odd & pathetic that our nation’s leadership officials, both past & present, have to fight to make cuts that are just fiscal common sense. We have to make these cuts & continue to because of willful, corrupt, irresponsible people, elected & employed by taxpayers, set up the waste to begin with. Not everyone is wasteful but too many individuals in gov’t, are & continue to be protected from any repercussions or accountability when they willingly make these wasteful, corrupt expenditures. They simply don’t care. Too many benefit from it personally. They know it & their attitude is completely apathetic towards us…knowing full well that in today’s pathetic justice system, they are protected by their gov’t status, as well as hidden, internal agreements that have silently been built into the system. They suffer no consequences.
While this continues, the system continues to spin out of control…allowing officials to talk about cuts but rarely doing so. I’m in no way blaming the present administration, Trump, etc. but the former fraud administration & their fraudulently elected president have walked away from the most reckless & willful spending destruction to our economy in history. They literally & purposely buried us in debt. Yet they walk free, suffering no consequences. Until that part of our accountability system changes, our nation will continue to “spin its wheels” tackling cuts & debt. DOGE exposed what has to be done. Now gov’t has to find courage to do it.

Lord Jesus, I come before you today asking you to give every member of congress the right decisions, truthful decisions, regarding the Big Beautiful Bill. Lord Jesus, I pray that our Supreme Court justices will stop fighting President Trump on every issue he is trying to make for our nation. May Your Will be my Will, and may your will be done!
I love you Lord and I praise your Beautiful Name!
In your name I always pray and love Lord Jesus!
Thank You and amen!’

Father, indeed we pray for wisdom and fiscal responsibility for our lawmakers. May their goal be to make us strong as a country and to honor you in how we spend our money. May this $9.4B indeed be clawed back from these organizations. Thank you that this is possible. Give unity in our government for things that are good for our country and are not corrupt. We praise your name and thank you for working to reveal corruption and wasteful spending.

I am so pleased! The United States debt is a serious and scary mega issue. It’s about time the US stopped spending money it doesn’t have to benefit other countries when it is in debt itself.

I do pray, YHVH, that necessary cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting would pass quickly. Exposure of waste and fraud means nothing if not codified. We trust You that this will put teeth to what DOGE has accomplished. Stir Your church to do what You called us to do – to care for the orphan, widow, poor, etc. – instead of expecting the government to do so. And media pundits can pay for their own broadcasting costs, or find sponsors who agree with their particular bias – no more government sponsored indoctrination.

Thank you Lord that you meet all our needs according to your riches in glory, in Christ Jesus. Thank you for exposing extreme waste in our governments spending. Please open the eyes of the American people who attempt to stand against your ways. May they be saved! Please continue to work in the men and women who are drafting, debating, and working toward restoring a healthy budget with the taxpayers’ money. May they all understand and act on the need to spend money YOUR way. YOUR kingdom come, YOUR will be done in Jesus’ name.
