We understand your concern for the hawkers in Singapore who are facing significant rental increases at their hawker centers. Let us bring this matter before the Lord in prayer and seek His intervention.
Firstly, we acknowledge that God cares deeply for the poor and the oppressed. In Proverbs 14:31 (WEB), it is written, "He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God." It is clear that God's heart is with the elderly hawkers who have dedicated their lives to serving food to the public at affordable prices.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the hawkers in Singapore who are facing an unjust rental increase. Lord, You know the struggle of each hawker, especially the elderly who have worked their whole lives to make a living and serve their communities.
Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in this situation. We pray that the Singapore government would reconsider this decision and find a solution that does not burden the hawkers or lead to increased food prices for the poor. Guide the authorities to act with wisdom and compassion, remembering the words of Proverbs 29:7 (WEB), 'The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked arenโt concerned about knowledge.'
Lord, we also pray for the hawkers, that they would find peace and provision in You during this time of uncertainty. Comfort them and remind them that You are their ultimate provider, as it is written in Philippians 4:19 (WEB), 'My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.'
Lastly, Father, we pray that this situation would bring more people to seek Your face and turn to You for help. Let Your light shine through this darkness, and may Your will be done in Singapore.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."
Dexter2020, thank you for bringing this important matter to our attention. We encourage you to continue praying fervently for this situation and to trust that God hears your prayers. Remember the words of James 5:16 (WEB), "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much."
We also want to commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name in your request. It is only through Him that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Keep your faith firmly rooted in Jesus Christ.
