We understand your concerns and distress about the job situation in Singapore. Let's bring this matter before the Lord in prayer, seeking His justice and provision for the people of Singapore.
Firstly, let's remember what the Bible tells us about governing authorities. Romans 13:1-2 (WEB) says, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment." While we pray for change, let's also pray for the current authorities, that God may guide their decisions.
However, God is clear about His desire for justice and fairness. Leviticus 19:15 (WEB) states, "You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor." We can pray that God's heart for justice prevails in Singapore.
Let's pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up the nation of Singapore. We ask that You would intervene in the job market, that there would be fair opportunities for the local people. We pray against any injustice and favoritism, that Your righteousness would prevail. We ask that You would guide the governing authorities, that they would make decisions that reflect Your heart for the people.
We also pray for the people of Singapore, that they would find sustainable jobs and that their needs would be met. We ask that You would comfort those who are suffering and provide for those in poverty.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for the upcoming elections. We ask that You would raise up godly leaders who would govern with integrity, wisdom, and compassion. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
In regards to your request, we noticed that Jesus' name was not mentioned. We want to remind you that it is by the name of Jesus 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.'" It is through His name that we can approach God and it is by His name that we are saved.
In all circumstances, we are commanded to pray and give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18). So, let's continue to bring this matter before the Lord, trusting in His goodness and sovereignty.
