Look’s like the bill will come up again for a vote on Tuesday, July 9th unless something changes. Instead of doing another “fast and prayer”, wanted to try something different to get our FATHER [ABBA] in Heaven’s attention. So let us “thank HIM, praise HIM, and bless HIS name” and ask for HIS Will to be done!
There are some examples of this in verses at the bottom of this study. Try singing them to HIM or write your own and sing them. Also, if you have never bowed/knelt/prostrated yourself to HIM why are you waiting to bring joy to HIS heart? We will all be doing this when we are with HIM forever, so why not start now and teach others? What a wonderful gift you would be giving HIM! If you have never done it before, what a great way to get HIS attention! I also will be thanking, praising, and blessing the NAME of HIS SON, our MESSIAH [CHRIST] and KING! Please see this study [link below] for more on how the FATHER gave HIS NAME to HIS SON:

I will be starting this at sundown tonight until the bill is decided on Tuesday [if it gets put off again then will see where round 3 goes]. Do as you feel led and please take a look at this link to a study I wrote last year that may be of help:

These are some verses which talk about thanking, praising, and blessing HIS NAME and bowing to HIM and worshiping HIM:
Divrei-Hayamim Alef [I Chronicles] 29:20 – And Dawiḏ said to all the assembly, “Now bless יהוה [His Name “YHWH” in Hebrew letters – replaced by “LORD”] your Elohim [Hebrew for GOD].” And all the assembly blessed יהוה Elohim of their fathers, and bowed their heads [low] and did obeisance [knelt, fell to the floor flat, prostrated, worshiped, paid homage] to יהוה and the sovereign.
B’resheet [Genesis] 24:48 – And I bowed my head and worshiped יהוה, and blessed יהוה, Elohim of my master Aḇraham, who had led me in the true way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.

Tehillim 96:1-4 Sing to יהוה a new song, Sing to יהוה, all the earth! Sing to יהוה, bless His Name, Proclaim His deliverance from day to day. Declare His esteem among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For great is יהוה and greatly to be praised, He is to be feared above all mighty ones.
Tehillim 100:4 – Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His Name.
Tehillim 113:1,2 – Praise Yah! Praise, O servants of יהוה, Praise the Name of יהוה! Blessed be the Name of יהוה, Now and forever!
Tehillim 145:1,2,10, – I exalt You, my Elohim, O Sovereign; And bless Your Name forever and ever. 2] All day long I bless You, And praise Your Name forever and ever. 10] All Your works give thanks to You, O יהוה, And Your lovingly-committed ones bless You. 21] My mouth speaks the praise of יהוה, And let all flesh bless His set-apart Name, Forever and ever.
D’varim [Deuteronomy] 8:10 – And you shall eat and be satisfied, and shall bless יהוה your Elohim for the good land which He has given you.
