Thank you for sharing this very intimate occasion that occurred on April 28. While my heart is heavy for the people of our country now, I am uplifted by this testimony and excited to see progress as we move forward on May 5 to continue the fight to stop this terribly immoral budget.

As we gather at the Supreme Court and the Capitol today, I pray that the Lord open the hearts and minds of the House representatives to the evil nature of the proposed budget that is being submitted by Speaker Johnson. But let us also go forward in this procession, this action, with hearts full of love for all. Help us to avoid even a scintilla of hate in our hearts and fill us with your Holy Spirit as we try to demonstrate to them and to the country the better way to go.

The words of Speaker Johnson, “don’t judge me” indicates he is well aware of the immorality of this legislation.

That he considers himself a man of God makes his behaviour so much worse.

I thank u brave prayer warriors for echoing energy into the walls of the halls of government.

Have these specific prayers been distributed to all of the churches in the US, Especially now since the sac religious picture of a false would-be pope has gone viral, worldwide?

That’s a great prayer covering the good we all can relate to and as an atheist, l can as well. Thank you for spreading positivity and kindness to others Reverend Barber. You and Pope Francisco are alike in that regard.

All are welcome. Please invite your representatives in DC to join Moral Mondays at the Capitol. Moral leaders and impacted people will lead. This is nonpartisan. But all are welcome.

The way they use god for there gain is sickening and disgusting. Mike Johnson is the devil himself just like his master trump and all of the regime. And Paula White is not a woman of god give me a break she just wants to make her self even richer like all of them. And take from the poor and middle class. Paula White is a pathetic devil who needs to stop getting Botox off people money.

Every true Christian should be shouting out rather than hiding behind what they think is the cloak of some mysterious or the garments of the Bishop Rev. Dr. Barber. Christ called the evil and labeled it for what it was encouraging us to shout it out also. Evil wears many faces and clothes itself in many ways but that doesn’t take away its aspects to do harm, to maim, to bribe, to grift, to starve, to torture, to hate. Americans are not powerless over the current evil of this administration, in fact, in this fight between Good and Evil, Good has the upper hand literally in its hope to win. Hope always precedes faith and we must encourage our selves to have the faith that we can and will win what is true and right.

Thank you reminding us that we are never alone and powerless.

Yes every moral Monday I also will be in thought union to pray for correction in the crude direction of manipulation the billionaire class is taking over on the persond of lower economic scales.

The voices visions and hearts of the good people will not easily be put under coercion without rebuke

Mocking any faith believers of their practice to the goodness of God's mercy and redemption is wrong.

It is with tenacity ingenuity and voices the people will not be under a dictatorship stronghold by billionaires or unsuited men of no honor and little less integrity.

That you and the support team for all you do for the vulnerable and the voices that are being ignored for now but soon they will hear and they will heed the cries for halt and for justice.

Thanks for a prayer feeding our souls with hope and purposeful actions in times of turmoil and chaos from our elected government dismantling essential federal agencies ignoring the rules and laws of the Constitution, intending to save money irregardless of the needs, safety, and well-being of Americans and the global community. Prayers for wisdom, empathy, compassion, and kindness to include all in our global community to relieve the painful sufferings of discriminations to the marginalized and diverse communities!
