I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray for strength for those legislators and the SD governor so that they may protect children.

Wednesday, Jan 29 could be a historic day for families and kids if the South Dakota House passes a new bill, HB1057, that protects children under the age of 16 from harmful and untested hormone drugs, puberty blockers or surgical procedures to alter their birth gender.  The bill which makes these procedures on children a Class 1 misdemeanor, was all but set to pass easily in the House and signed by the governor when trans activists pressed into South Dakota with heavily-funded lobbying campaigns, branding those who would support the measure “biggots.”

The House State Affairs Committee passed the bill in an 8-5 vote last week, but on Friday, Gov. Kristi Noem said she had “a few concerns” about the bill. Our sources tell us that the barrage of pressure from the trans lobbying groups has shaken the confidence of some of the legislators and the governor to enact this bold bill.

South Dakota would be the first state to pass such protections for children, and as many as nine other states are waiting in the wings with legislation to the same effect.  The passage of the South Dakota bill would give confidence to the other states hoping to enact their own protective laws.

Pray for this bill to pass on Wednesday and to be signed by Governor Noem. If you are a resident of South Dakota, you can also contact your elected officials by clicking here.

Dear God, please bless those who feared You enough to write this bill. Please, Lord, win this battle. Our eyes are upon You. Work in the hearts of those who want to push this bill and protect children but are being intimidated. Give them eyes to see Your perspective. Show them what will happen if these children aren’t protected, and give them the same courage You gave Esther when she was afraid. Remind them You’ve put them there for such a time as this.

Lord, also please quiet those who would speak out against this bill. Make them ashamed. Make everyone ashamed who would hurt one of these little ones to change them from the fearfully wonderful way You made them.

Please, Lord, let this bill pass soundly, and let it be the first of many such protections that sweep our country. Let this evil be stopped, hated, and vilified as the evil it is for generations to come. Let every attempt that’s been made to muddy the waters of the sexes be brought to shame, and a new culture of holy reverence for the difference between the sexes bring forth fruit of godly families and a happy, whole society. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Transgender life style is sin. Seeking a Transgender Life Style for a child most likely comes under the biblical penalty of the millstone arond the neck for harming children. Thank You Father God, that You make a way to rescue these children. Thank you Lord, that adults with the ability to legislate stand up, speak up and vote and do what is right in your sight and make such behavior illegal.
