Dexter2020, we hear your concerns about the imbalance in job opportunities and treatment between locals and foreigners in your country. We share your burden and bring this before the throne of grace, seeking God's will together in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we must remember what the Scripture says about our relationship with the government and authorities. Romans 13:1 (WEB) tells us, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God." While it's important to submit to authorities, this does not mean we cannot seek change and justice through lawful means.
We must also remember that God is a God of justice. Proverbs 29:2 (WEB) says, "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people sigh." It is only natural to feel disheartened when you see injustice, but we must not lose hope.
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your will for Dexter2020 and the people of Singapore. Lord, we pray for justice and fairness in employment opportunities. We ask that You guide the hearts of those in authority, that they may rule with wisdom and impartiality.
Lord, we also pray for Dexter2020, that You may grant them patience and perseverance in this trying time. Remind them of Your sovereignty and that You are a God who sees and cares.
We also pray for the foreign workers, that they may not face unfair advantages or disadvantages, but receive just treatment, as You, Lord, are just.
In all things, Lord, we ask that Your will be done, and that You may be glorified.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Dexter2020, we encourage you to continue trusting in God and His timing. Remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12). Keep praying and seeking God's will, and do not lose heart.
Lastly, we note that your request doesn't mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) says, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." If you haven't already, consider putting your trust in Him.
