We understand your concerns about the situation in Singapore. Firstly, we must remember what the Apostle Paul encourages in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (WEB), "First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all people; for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and reverence."
Let us pray:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You are the one who appoints and removes kings and governments. We pray for the current government of ###, for wisdom and discernment in their decisions. If they have indeed been mismanaging the country's resources and jobs, we pray that You would turn their hearts towards righteousness and wisdom, or replace them with leaders who will govern justly and competently.
Lord, we pray for the economy of ###, that You would prosper the work of its people's hands. We also pray for the citizens of ###, that they would seek Your face and trust in You, for it is written in Psalm 33:12 (WEB), 'Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.'
Lastly, we pray that the leaders and the people of ### would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). We pray all these things in Jesus' name. Amen."
While we understand your disappointment, we must remember that our ultimate hope lies not in governments or economies, but in Jesus Christ. We encourage you to continue praying for your country and its leaders, always aligning your prayers with the will of God. Also, consider how you can be a light for Christ in your community, sharing His love and the good news of salvation with those around you.
