Father, we live in trying times, but we take comfort in knowing that You are with us.
I pray a special prayer for all military families who face uncertainty about their remuneration as a result of the ongoing federal budget dispute.
Father, even as we face this uncertainty, we are grateful that You have provided military families with much more financial security than other (civilian) families have had during this time of protracted economic hardship. Give us patience and teach us how to support each other and how to worship You even through the current uncertainty and disruption.
I pray a special prayer for my husband, who has the difficult job of sharing news of a potential shut down with thousands of government employees, including great American men and women from all of the services. Let him be a Christ-filled and compassionate leader. Give him wisdom and words that share encouragement and gratitude during these challenging times.
Father, we ask that You humble the hearts of our elected leaders, and that You be a powerful presence in their midst, as they negotiate a solution that serves You and the greater good of this nation. In Jesus Name. Amen.
