"It's very important for everybody to understand why we're being so aggressive on the timetable and why this really is so important. This is the vehicle through which we will deliver on the mandate that the American people gave us in the last election." -Speaker Mike Johnson to Fox News Sunday

[IFAPray.org] Father, we ask You to give our legislators wisdom as they discuss and debate the President's "big, beautiful bill." We pray for lawmakers who are sensitive to Your voice, and we pray for Your will to be done. (Screengrab image: via C-SPAN)

The House Budget Committee voted to advance the President's "big, beautiful bill" Sunday night, but, as Roll Call notes, "the internal debate is far from over."

From Roll Call:

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, one of four conservative Budget Committee members who agreed to vote "present" Sunday to allow the House to move forward with the bill designed to implement Trump's policy agenda, said in a statement, "the bill does not yet meet the moment." ...

Hardliners in the House continue to call for more spending cuts, while Republicans in more vulnerable districts are calling for the opposite. Democrats, meanwhile, are continuing to accuse Republicans of seeking to cut Medicaid entirely.

While President Trump congratulated the Budget Committee for advancing the legislation, his bill is still a ways away from his desk. Meanwhile, with each passing day, the deadline draws closer and closer.

Roll Call notes that the Rules Committee, which "almost certainly will" makes changes to the bill, will convene to discuss the legislation at 1:00 AM ET on Wednesday, May 21.

Let's pray that, as the Rules Committee meets, its members handle the bill wisely and are sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Let Your will be done, Lord! Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
