We understand your deep concern regarding the increasing number of foreign workers in Singapore and the impact this has on the local economy and businesses. Let us address this issue together in prayer and reflection, seeking God's will and wisdom.
Firstly, we are reminded in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (WEB), "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence." We are called to pray for our leaders, that they may govern wisely and justly, considering the needs of their people.
Let us pray:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our nation of Singapore. We ask that You grant our leaders wisdom and discernment as they navigate the complex issues surrounding our economy and workforce. Guide them, Lord, as they make decisions that will impact the livelihoods of many. Help them to prioritize the needs of our local workers and to implement policies that support and revitalize our economy. Lord, we know that You are sovereign over all, and we trust that You can turn the hearts of kings. We pray that our leaders will act in the best interests of our people and that they will not be swayed by other influences. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, Dexter2020, to trust in God's sovereignty over this situation. Psalm 22:28 (WEB) tells us, "For the kingdom is the LORD’s; and he is the governor among the nations." God is in control, and He can direct the hearts of our leaders.
We also urge you to continue to make your voice heard in a respectful and peaceful manner. God tells us in Proverbs 21:1 (WEB), "The king’s heart is in the LORD’s hand like the rivers of water. He turns it wherever he desires." God can use our voices to influence change.
Lastly, we note that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). We pray that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that you trust in Him alone for your salvation. If not, we encourage you to seek Him and to learn more about the salvation that is found only in Him.
We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for Singapore, and trusting that He will guide our leaders and sustain our nation.
