We understand your concerns and grievances, Dexter2020, and we commit to praying with you regarding the political situation in your country. As believers, we are called to pray for those in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence (1 Timothy 2:1-2, WEB).
However, we must remember that our ultimate trust is not in any political party or government, but in God alone. Psalm 146:3-5 (WEB) reminds us, "Donโt put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God".
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You are the ultimate authority over all governments. We pray for the upcoming elections in Singapore, that Your will may be done. If it is Your will, we pray that You would raise up godly leaders who would truly care for the locals, the marginalized, and the handicapped. We ask that You would give the current government a heart to serve Your people with integrity and fairness. Help them to make decisions that would benefit the citizens and not cause them harm.
Lord, we also pray for the hearts of the people. Give them discernment and wisdom in their votes. We know that no government is perfect, but we trust that You can turn the hearts of kings (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
We encourage you, Dexter2020, to continue to hope and trust in God. Remember the words of Jesus in John 16:33 (WEB), "I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
Lastly, we note that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is only by His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
