I Prayed have prayed
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pray that all obstacles will be removed from any legislation that needs passage in Congress. Pray for greater cooperation on bills that really matter to the people.

“Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work.” (Titus 3:1)

Congress passed three significant bills before the Memorial Day recess that Mr. Trump has signed or will sign into law in coming weeks, including a partial rollback of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial industry regulations, a move that supporters — including many Democrats — say will spur lending by small banks in small towns nationwide.

As he signed the regulation-cutting measure late last week, the president said lawmakers are bucking the tradition of legislative loafing in a midterm election year.

“For a Congress that they say, you know, won’t be doing much because we have an election coming up, I think we’re doing an awful lot,” Mr. Trump said. “I think we’re doing more than any Congress in a long time.”…

The numbers back up the president. Mr. Trump has signed 57 laws so far this year, compared with 34 by President Obama at the same point in the midterm year of 2014, when Mr. Obama was contending with a House Republican majority. In April of that year, Mr. Obama complained it was “the least productive Congress in modern history.”

In the midterm year of 2010, when Mr. Obama was working with Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, he had signed 46 bills into law by Memorial Day….

“The Dodd-Frank reform is really important for the banking community, particularly small banks, but it’s not the kind of thing that normally penetrates the public consciousness,” said GOP pollster Whit Ayres, founder of North Star Opinion Research.

Success after success

He said voters tend to notice “major bills that affect many people in the country, like the tax cut.”

Still, the GOP has been performing much better in generic congressional polling in recent weeks, closing a double-digit gap with Democrats to move essentially into a tie. Mr. Ayres said that’s largely due to a rise of Mr. Trump’s job-approval rating from 37 percent in an average of all public polls around the time of the tax cuts, to about 44 percent today in the average of all polls….

In addition to legislative wins, Republicans are pointing to other actions likely to appeal to their base:

⦁ A record-breaking string of confirmations of conservative judges to federal appeals courts.

⦁ Executive action by Mr. Trump to reverse decades of federal funding for family-planning clinics that offer abortions.

⦁ The opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.

⦁ The withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.

⦁ The issuance of new orders Friday to reform civil service rules to speed termination of poor-performing government workers.

⦁ Mr. Trump’s win on NFL policy last week that will bar players from protesting the national anthem on the sidelines….

“Democrats are not interested in giving the president a legislative victory in this midterm year,” he said. “The politics this year are intervening in that.” (Excerpts from Dave Boyer article in The Washington Times)

I’m so very thankful to hear from Mike Bost and his wife of how you MY President and Vice President are depending on the Words of prayers by the people. I thank you and I thank the Lord for you both. Your cabinet. And all those who work together for the people and for this nation. God has a destiny for the USA and He is working that through all of us. I am so blessed to live in these tones in this country and to be a part of what He is accomplishing because He has willing servants. I love you all and pray for you and your wonderful families. You both have such gracious wives. I respect them very much and think they are such good examples. I ask the Lord to give you all wisdom with knowledge along with understanding about how to. I trust the Lord to give you great discernment. I see your hearts for others in the midst of it all. And I ask protection over them.

Father, Your Word is truth and life. According to Amos 5:14-5,24 it says: “Seek god and not evil, that you may live; so the Lord God of hosts will be with you as you have spoken. Hate evil, love good; establish justice in the gate. Let justice run down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream”. I pray that our leaders in Congress who put forth legislation, will move forward without any hindrances or delays. May a Spirit of unity and cooperation be grounded in a willingness to bring glory to God and bless the people of this nation. May we remember to thank You Lord for all Your wonderful kindnesses to us. Glory to God and thank you Jesus!

Pres Trump is doing an amazing job. I am praying for you Mr Trump. I am praying for you, Mike Pence, your cabinet, and every dept, branch of govt, leader and individual. I give praise and honor to Almighty God for putting you into offc, and for signing many important bills in short time. I thank you Mr Trump for putting God first, following His Word, being led by His Holy Spirit, and for making prayer with your cabinet important. God WILL heal our land if we all put God first. Thank you Mr Trump.

On a personal note, I thank you for your heart, and for signing the bill to stop unnecessary abortions, and for the selling of baby parts. I myself had an abortion when I was younger and it wreaked havoc in my life for 30+ yrs. I don’t want anyone to carry that same guilt because it robs a person of life when sin of that magnitude enters in. The guilt and condemnation I had afterwards blocked my communion with God because at that time I did not know how to fight spiritually or how to turn the situation around. No matter how many times I asked God for forgiveness, I could not forgive myself. It took me many yrs to forgive myself even though Jesus had forgiven me. The guilt that plagues a person after they have an abortion can last for many, many years and get to a point where they don’t even know why they are depressed. I thank God from the bottom of my heart for sending Jesus to take my sins, and the sins of the whole world, and I thank you Mr Trump for caring about all of God’s children today, before abortion happens. This is VERY important!

Not having sex until marriage, and following the Word of God and His will for us has always been God’s best. He loves us all! He just wants us to follow Him because He does know best. He loves us! Thank you Mr Trump for stopping the funding for unnecessary abortions, for stopping the selling of babies body parts, and for making America great again. America is becoming great again! God put you in this position because He knew your heart was to do the right things for America. I will continue praying for you. My church has been praying for you as well.

Thx, LH

What exactly has been repealed and what more needs to be done?
I have also heard of bill requiring Abortion clinics to have a side of there building for other needs of women. I like to know how that is doing. I have know for years we are not only loosing babies, but many women have their hormones altered by having an abortion & develop breast cancer,80% is average. Check out AbortionBreastCancer.com Even Plan Parenthood has admitted to the chance of breast cancer after an abortion. I can count several women I have known found this out after getting breast cancer. I have been pushing for Women’s wellness centers to replace abortion clinic & as reparation. We have the barbaric & poor health care for women at these Abortion clinics, as if we are an extremely impoverished nation. We have lost a wealth of babies & women.
