As Democrats and Republicans continue to disagree, the government shutdown continues. However, President Trump has promised to use this opportunity to reshape the federal government in several key ways.
Visit your state page to pray.
From Fox News:
In the lead-up to the midnight deadline to pass a budget package, President Donald Trump warned the administration could make “irreversible” changes to the federal workforce, most notably through a new wave of fresh layoffs. The president has underscored that he and his allies did not want the government to shut down, but that it opened the door for some “good” that could come from it.
Senate lawmakers failed to reach a spending agreement in time for the end of fiscal year 2025 Tuesday, after a short-term extension of fiscal year 2025 funding, aimed at keeping the government open through Nov. 21, passed the House mainly along party lines earlier in September.
Democrats expressed frustration at being shut out of spending negotiations and over the GOP bill’s exclusion of enhanced Obamacare subsidies that were first enacted in 2021 under President Joe Biden. Those subsidies, a COVID-19-era measure, are set to lapse at the end of 2025 unless Congress takes action, Fox News Digital has reported.
Republicans have pinned the blame for the shutdown on the Democrats, accusing them wanting to secure healthcare for illegal immigrants. Democrats have rejected this characterization, which Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calling it “absolutely false.”
It is important to note that the government shutdown does not give President Trump new abilities. Rather, as Fox explains, it “concentrates discretion to the White House and Office of Management and Budget over what the executive branch continues operating or ending.” It is this power that will allow President Trump and the OMB to enact sweeping reform for as long as the shutdown lasts.
True enough, the President has already begun instituting these reforms. The Department of Energy said yesterday that it had terminated hundreds of grants funding hundreds of projects, amounting to “about $7.56 billion in cuts” according to The Epoch Times. President Trump has also vowed that large-scale deportations, a key campaign promise, will not slow down during the shutdown.
As the shutdown continues, let’s pray for President Trump and the Office of Management and Budget as they bring reform to our government, and let’s pray for our elected officials as they negotiate!

Lord please show the President and the OMB the areas that should be cut and turned back to the States or just cut altogether. Give them wisdom and direct guidance! In Jesus name, Amen
Thank you father God, that the over spending in our government is being exposed to the American citizens. Along for President Trump , I pray for Russ Vought who leads Office of Management of the budget. He is a godly person show him ways to cut spending where needed. Protect these men against the lies of the democrats and RINOS, In Jesus’ name.
Father, I pray for President Trump for wisdom from you in what he is doing. Thank you for his love of our country and wanting the best for us as citizens. I pray for his cabinet as they serve that they would also have wisdom from you. I pray Congress might align with your values and not continue to spend out of control. Bless the people who have been let go. May they find employment and look to you for their needs. May the shut-down be over soon. I praise your name for what you are doing. May you be glorified.
Father,
I believe it is only now, with the election of Donald J Trump, that we the people finally have enough clarity to see the issues from a birds eye view and know what to pray.
Washington and all the states’ capitols need You desperately. Please extend your grace and mercy on the leadership as you ree-establish us as a sovereign nation and united states.
Thank you for sustaining your faithful families and churches, your country here and Israel through the transitions that get us back to you.
Shine your light for us to see and follow you, putting first things first in our lives and being honest with ourselves.
As the leadership negotiates a more enduring settlement, give your people clarity and resolve, standing firm on YOUR WILL in obedience and alignment with Your Word.
Thanks and praise to You, Almighty Creator and provider. Amen !
