What about all the real people losing their jobs…
Dear Lord, I do applaud our nation working to be more fiscally responsible, but in my rush to judgment, I need to pray earnestly for all the federal employees who have been given short notice, fired with sometimes just a few hours, to get out of their offices. Many of these folks joined Federal service and did the best they could to serve their country. Among them veterans who had taken federal civilian jobs after leaving the military.
The failures they are suffering are not of their making. Please give them divine guidance and grace to reconstruct their employment lives and quickly.
I pray this with a heavy heart in the strong and mighty name of Jesus who always took pity on the unfortunate and downtrodden. Please. Amen
Verse for Today: “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,” (Luke 4:18)
