You are so right. We war not against flesh and blood, but against principalities of darkness. Christ has given us the keys to the Kingdom. We should walk it out.

Father in Heaven, You alone hold the outcome of this battle. We lift up those who are convicted to oppose this bill and ask that You give them strength. We ask that You calm their hearts and encourage them with Your precious love. And we stand in unity with them, Lord. We declare that this nation reveal your heart and your mercy - not a mandate of fear. It is You alone who can change the hearts of kings. And while we pray for those who will support the cause of Righteousness and protection of those who cannot fend for themselves, we also pray for those who stand in the way. Your Word says that we should pray for our enemies. So we lift up those in leadership who are trying to subject their will in opposition to Your Kingdom. We ask that You reveal Yourself to Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Barack Obama, and all those who are wavering in support of this bill. Show them Your truth, O Lord. Bless them with Your kindness and mercy. And raise them up to be ones after Your heart. Father, I speak blessings over them all - not out of the darkness that dwells in my heart, but out of love and obedience to You. Thank you, Father, for saving me and giving me unlimited inheritance in Your family. And I ask that You do the same for those who stand in the way of the liberty that You have given me. Give to them this most precious gift that has forever changed me.

My trust is in you alone, Lord. I know that no matter what happens, You are my deliverer and my refuge, my intercessor and my strength, my provider and my source in all things. Thank you, Heavenly Father.
