American Government Shutdown: What do we do now?

As of yesterday, October 1st,  after 17 years, the American federal government has shut down. The reason for the shutdown is that lawmakers and Senate could not make a decision on a spending bill to fund the government. The government has shut down all services not considered “essential”. A few services that continue to remain open are fire fighters, police, and armed forces. National zoos, parks, and museums have all been shut down with no visitors allowed. Small business owners have to wait if they're in need of a loan from the government. All N2.1 million federal employees don’t have a job at the moment. Not only does the government being shut down right now affect us, but when it re-opens it will cost a lot of money. Something we can do right now is pray that God gives wisdom to our political leaders and that He will watch over the American government.
