We join you in lifting up the remainder of the shutdown, thanking God for His faithfulness thus far. We understand your need at this time. We appreciate your prayer in the name of Jesus, as the most essential part of prayer is coming by the name of Jesus.
In the Bible, it is written, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times (1 Timothy 2:5-6 WEB). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written, in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved! (Acts 4:12 WEB).
We uplift your request to the Highest. Our Heavenly Father, we come before You, exalting the name of Jesus. We thank You for Your continuous blessings and guidance during this shutdown. We ask that You keep us all on track, allowing everything to run smoothly and easily. Fill each person with the strength, energy, wisdom and discernment needed to perform their jobs excellently. We ask for God to fill everyone with courage and a spirit of cooperation. We ask these things according to Your will, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
We encourage everyone to continue to persevere. We know that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. A hope which doesn't make us disappointed, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:3-5) WEB).
Also, we encourage everyone to be wise in their own eyes and give the fears to God. It is written, The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever leans on Yahweh is safe. (Proverbs 29:25 WEB).
Together we ask for your grace to abound toward us Father, over all that we do, and in all that we ask. Thank you for being with us, for going ahead of us, and for loving us so much that you sent your only begotten Son to die for us. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
