Though many had hoped for an imminent end to the government shutdown, recent reporting says otherwise. Senate Democrats are digging their heels in to preserve expiring Obamacare subsidies, possibly emboldened by Tuesday’s Democrat electoral victories.

From Fox News:
Senate Democrats left another long closed-door caucus lunch on Thursday, signaling a unified front as the shutdown entered its 37th day amid Republican demands to make a deal to reopen the government.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus are still riding high after a successful Election Day Tuesday that saw Democratic candidates pummel their Republican opponents. While there are bipartisan talks among centrist Senate Democrats and Republicans on a way out, the majority of the caucus appeared ready to hold the line.
“We had a very good, productive meeting,” Schumer said as he exited the lunch.
Other Democrats agreed with Senator Schumer, although they bristled at the accusation that they were “holding out from reopening the government,” according to Fox. Senator Elizabeth Warren, for example, said, “It’s not about holding out.” She cited Tuesday’s elections, saying, “We fight for access to healthcare for millions of people across this country. Affordability is a giant issue for American families. They told us that at the polls on Tuesday, but they tell us that every day of their lives.”
Senate Democrats have shot down the House’s continuing resolution over a dozen times now, citing concerns over Obamacare subsidies. Majority Leader John Thune has promised to address the issue separately once the government is reopened, but Democrats have refused to budge.
Majority Leader Thune addressed the issue directly, saying, “I think the clear path forward here with regard to the [Obamacare] issue, open up the government, and we head down to the White House and sit down with the president and talk about it,” according to Fox News. He characterized the Democrats’ current strategy as “hostage taking.”
As the longest shutdown in American history continues, families and entire industries are suffering. Let’s pray for a swift end to the shutdown!

Praying for an end to the democratic party shutdown of the American government but apparently it is not important to the dems yet.
Praying for the entire Congress to come together and do what is right so the government will be reopened very soon.
Father, once more we come before you for an end to the government shutdown. May it end soon, without raising the debt on our country, which will destroy everything!
The maddening thing about this shutdown is that there was NO continuing funding for government while the parties hashed out the ongoing budget.
Dear, Heavenly Father, please bring guidance of your way, truth, and life, through your son, Jesus Christ, to find a solution. These hollow, crass, callous politicians especially in a godless entity like the Democratic Party, do not care at all, that the people who they are supposed to represent, are suffering because of their arrogance and wanting to gain more votes via people who are not even citizens of our great country, and yet, they think they are doing your work and being humanitarians about it. Show these hypocrites that they must turn towards your light, and away from the faces of evil that they rely so much on, by telling bald faced lies about those who they disagree with so vehemently, just to get elected. Then, we might move forward in this country.
God, show these Senators who are the hold outs to show that you are the mighty God. And they will all have to answer to you.
This is an opportunity for the Body of Christ to step into the gap and provide for those affected by this miserable government shutdown. Churches have allowed the government to provide what the churches used to provide. If churches would rise up and provide for the needs of hurting people, the government would become impotent. Surely people can see that when you rely on the government for welfare, you are at the mercy of the government.
I read that the government shutdown was like taking people hostage in order to make a deal to set them free. I never looked at that way before but that comment is right. We need to put a stop to that now! Make a deal now! Both sides need to come to an agreement today! Lord be the mediator so the government can reopen in Jesus name amen! 🙏
my son and many others have mortgages to pay, food that is getting non existent and you democrats could care less. I hate what you have done to our country and one day our United? States will no longer be. I am depressed! I hope you and your families (and probably never will) ever experience what we, the caring, are experiencing right now in this abhorrent times! SHAME ON YOU SCHUMER, SHAME ON YOU, JEFFRIES, AND THE REST OF YOUR CRONIES. GOD BLESS SENTAORS FETTERMAN, and two other Dems. They have common sense values. I implore you to open our government. God be with us!
Dearest Heavenly Father we know you alone are in Control. We know you know what we have need of even before we ask. We stand on your Word. We humble ourselves before you, Father and ask that you intervene and that your will is done on Earth as it is in Heaven. We know you are a merciful loving God and we ask for your help. We have both political sides acting worse than children — each posturing and having a peeing contest at citizens expense. We have people who will go hungry and people working without benefit of pay. I pray you will even the playing field and cause the salaries for those involved in the stalemate to be held up and/or discontinued also until they do the right thing. We pray also that you will sustain your followers who are drastically affected by this because we know you are a provider and have promised us that. To you be all Glory, Honor, Power and Praise. We pray this prayer in the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen
