Let's bring these federal workers and others who have lost their jobs before the Lord in prayer, seeking His comfort, provision, and guidance during this challenging time. We should remember Jesus' words, that He will never leave them nor forsake them. We are to be strong and courageous.
Firstly, we acknowledge that it is so important to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. There is no other name by which we can be saved. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
Let us pray together in Jesus' name:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up all the federal workers and others who have lost their jobs to You. We ask that You extend Your loving hand to provide for their needs. We pray for them, that they will humble themselves and call on You. We ask that the whole situation to be resolved peacefully and quickly.
Help them to trust in You, even in this difficult time.
We know from Your word, that it is written, that it is written, Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10.
Lord, as we pray for their jobs we also are mindful that You have promised to supply every need of yours according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
You are a good God who cares for His children. Comfort them and fill them with Your peace. Help them not to worry nor be anxious.
Remind them of Your promise in Philippians 4:6,
"Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."
Guide them as they seek new opportunities and open doors for them. Many of them need to repent and to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Open their eyes to their need for You.
We believe they will receive the daily bread and all the things they need to support themselves and their families.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
For those who are believers, knowing that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
Now we exhort them to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. They need to put on the full armor of God to protect them as they go through this trial.
Ephesians 6:10
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
