A Prayer for Those Affected by Our Government Shutdown

🇺🇸 A Prayer for Our Nation During Government Shutdown 🇺🇸

Heavenly Father,

We come before You on behalf of the United States of America during this time of uncertainty and disruption. Lord, as our federal government enters 21 days into a shutdown that affects millions of families, workers, and communities, we ask for Your divine intervention.

Father, step in. Remind our leaders—Democrats, Republicans, and all in positions of power—that it is not about personal agendas, party pride, or political gamesmanship. It is about the people they serve, the families affected, and the future being shaped by every decision they make.

“If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”—Mark 3:25

God, we ask You to tear down walls of pride and division in Washington. Replace them with wisdom, humility, and a spirit of cooperation. Remind our leaders that they are public servants, not rulers, and they are accountable first to You and then to the people.

Strengthen our democracy—not for the sake of politics, but for the good of the thousands of parents raising the next generation of thinkers, workers, leaders, and visionaries. Let them see that while we may disagree, we can still lead with honor, civility, and compassion.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.” Psalm 33:12

Give us leaders who fear You, who seek justice, and who uphold truth. Remind them of Proverbs 11:14:“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”

And to every American struggling right now—those uncertain about their paychecks, their stability, their futures—be their Provider, their Protector, and their Peace. Remind them: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

Lord, bring unity. Bring resolution. Bring healing to this land.

In Jesus’ Name we pray,

Amen 🙏🏻
