It happened on October 27, 2025.
The Capitol was tense.
The government shutdown dragged on.
And into that moment stepped Senate Chaplain Barry C. Black.
He lifted his eyes and prayed:
“Eternal God, our King,
when our children and grandchildren want to know
what we were doing during the famous shutdown,
may we not have to give these answers:
I helped set a new record for keeping the government closed.
I failed to appeal to the better angels of my nature.
I forgot Matthew 7:12 —
Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.”
Then came the line that echoed across America:
“Lord, remind our lawmakers that no gold medals are given for breaking shutdown records,
but a crown of righteousness is given to those who take care of the lost, the last, and the least.”
It wasn’t a political statement.
It was a prophetic reminder —
that leadership without compassion is empty,
and that God still calls nations to humility, mercy, and justice.
No gold medals are given for breaking shutdown records.
But crowns are given for righteousness.
