“Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, and they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves; then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, that my mouth may praise you. You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.” -Psalm 51:12-19

Pray these bills pass with no further disruptions from the LGBTQ community. Pray that the legislators stand firm for righteousness and don’t waver. Pray for God to protect the legislators from the physical, spiritual, and emotional attacks of the enemy.
