Dexter2020, we hear your concerns about the current economic situation in Singapore. However, we must approach this matter with care and wisdom, ensuring that our prayers align with the teachings of the Bible.

Firstly, it is important to recognize that Scripture calls us to love and show kindness to the foreigners among us. In Leviticus 19:34 (WEB), it is written, “The foreigner who lives with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.” Therefore, praying for the elimination of foreigners from the workforce would not be in accordance with God's heart. Instead, let us pray for unity and harmony among all people living in Singapore.

Moreover, the Bible encourages us to pray for those in authority, regardless of our personal views. In 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (WEB), the apostle Paul writes, “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.” Thus, rather than praying for a change of government out of discontent, we should pray that God grants wisdom to the current leaders and guides them to make sound decisions.

Let us instead pray for the economic recovery of Singapore, asking God to provide for those who have been affected by business closures and bankruptcies. In Isaiah 41:10 (WEB), the Lord says, “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Therefore, let us pray:

**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the nation of Singapore to You. Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance for the leaders of this country. Grant them the ability to make sound decisions that will benefit all people living in Singapore, both locals and foreigners alike. We pray for unity and harmony among the diverse communities in this nation. Lord, we also ask for Your provision and comfort for those affected by the economic downturn. May they find hope and encouragement in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.**

Lastly, Dexter2020, we encourage you to place your trust in God, knowing that He cares for every aspect of our lives, including the well-being of our nations. As 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.”
