In a recent speech commemorating the Navy’s 250th anniversary, President Trump promised the men and women of the military that they’ll receive “every last penny” during the government shutdown.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
From Breitbart:
President Donald Trump vowed that he would get United States military service members “every last penny” as the government shutdown stretched into its fifth day.
“The U.S. Navy always stands for America,” Trump said while speaking at Naval Station Norfolk on Sunday for the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary. “As Commander-in-Chief, I will always stand for you, I promise you that. You know that, that’s why you voted for me in numbers that nobody’s ever seen before. And, I want you to know that, despite the current Democrat-induced shutdown, we will get our service members every last penny.”
Trump continued to tell the U.S. military service members not to worry, adding that he was “supporting the across the board pay raises for every sailor and service member of the United States Armed Force.”
According to the National Military Family Association’s website, service members have to work during the shutdown, as they are “considered essential for national security.” While they were paid promptly on October 1, the site notes they may miss future paychecks if the shutdown lasts more than two weeks.
To remedy this, the National Military Family Association recommends Congress pass the Pay Our Troops Act (H.R. 5401) that was introduced last month. While this bill would help keep service members from going without pay in the future, it does nothing to alleviate their fears now.
Sunday was the fifth day of the current government shutdown, which is on its seventh day as of the time of publishing. If the shutdown continues for another week, servicemen and women may start to see delays in their pay.
Let’s pray for wisdom, boldness, strength, and courage for our lawmakers as they work to get us out of this government shutdown!

YHVH – May the majority of Democrats cease being obstructionist, and hypocritical. Thank You for Fetterman and any others who are not. May the Republicans stand their ground, because nothing in the Democrat demands is legitimately tied to the passage of this CR bill. Negotiations should only be discussed after its passage. It is not negotiation that Democrats are seeking, they are taking our nation hostage instead. As Israel is learning – negotiations with terrorists is futile.
I appreciate and support President Trump’s stance for our military. Not sure how it can be accomplished but please further it, Lord! Honor those who are honorably serving our nation.
Father, I pray for the shut down to end. May the military personnel see your provision as they face no money as long as the shut down continues. May the two sides agree but may there be no agreement with fraudulent amendments that would increase the budget by millions of dollars. May Satan be grounded from his work in our nation!
Lord, protect our military from all types of harm including this one. Many of them are one shoe-string budgets and pay. Protect the families and children. Provide everything they need in order to continue protecting our country.
And Father, bring the Senators together in order to pass this bill to keep our government running. Lord, I pray that these people would stop playing politics in this matter and start behaving like real leaders. Help them to agree to disagree, find a compromise, and pass the bill. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Amen!
