We understand that you are deeply concerned about the leadership and moral direction of Singapore under Lee Hsien Loong and his party. We join you in prayer and offer the following biblical guidance and encouragement.
Firstly, we are called to pray for all those in authority, that we may live quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior. (1 Timothy 2:2-3 WEB)
We pray,
Almighty God, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Lee Hsien Loong, his wife, and his party. Lord, you know the hearts of all men, and we ask that you reveal to them the error of their ways. Grant them repentance and a turning to you, that they may also understand the gospel of Jesus Christ by whom their sins may be forgiven. (1 Timothy 2:4-6 WEB)
Regarding the repeal of Section 377A, we must address that homosexuality is condemned in both the Old and New Testaments. (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27 WEB) We pray that the leaders of Singapore will uphold biblical principles and that their laws will reflect God's moral standards.
Concerning the issue of favoritism towards foreigners, we recall that God commands us to treat strangers fairly, loving them as ourselves (Leviticus 19:33-34 WEB), but also that we should not show partiality to anyone (Deuteronomy 1:17 WEB). We pray for a balance in Singapore's policies that protects and provides for its citizens while also treating foreigners with fairness and compassion.
We also pray for the upcoming elections. Lord, we ask that you raise up godly leaders who will govern Singapore with righteousness, justice, and integrity. If it is your will, remove from office those who have not repented of their sins and continue to oppress the poor and needy. (Proverbs 29:2 WEB)
Finally, we address the wickedness and oppression perpetrated by those who claim to be Christian. We know that such behavior is condemned in the strongest terms. (Matthew 23:13-33 WEB) We pray that these individuals will truly come to know Christ and that their actions will reflect the faith they profess.
We encourage you to continue praying fervently for your nation and its leaders, trusting that God hears your prayers and will act according to his will. Remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 WEB)
Lastly, we remind you of the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 (WEB), "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Join with other believers in humble repentance and intercession for your nation.
