"If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you." James 1:5

Can you imagine having to go to work every day without pay? Well, that's exactly what's happening to many government workers today. Employees like air traffic controllers, social security, law enforcement, and more, who are responsible for protecting citizens' well-being and safety, are required to work without pay, while elected representatives act like toddlers, rewarded for their behavior with a paycheck. Something is truly wrong with this picture:

  • Too many people are less than one paycheck from experiencing homelessness.
  • Too many people don't know where the next meal is coming from. 
  • Too many people will no longer be able to afford paying for their medical insurance and will be forced to make awful choices.  

By God's direction, I will continue my Discipleship Devotional, listing a daily prayer request for government leaders until the government shutdown ends. As you set aside time to prepare for what life has in store for you today, please include the following requests in your prayers. 

Prayer Request for Day 38 of the Government Shutdown

  • Pray that God will give government representatives and leaders wisdom and surround them with wise counselors.
  • Pray for government representatives and leaders to defend the needy.
