Prayer for this

[Dexter2020]

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the current leadership and immigration policies in Singapore, which are exacerbating the hardships faced by citizens. There is a growing sentiment among Singaporeans that our skills and contributions are being overlooked in favor of foreign labor, particularly in contract or platform employment. Initiatives like SkillsFuture appear to address only the surface of these issues, leaving many Singaporeans unemployed after six months or more, with little hope of finding stable, meaningful work. This favoritism towards foreigners in employment has not only led to the exploitation of our skills for commercial gain without proper hiring practices but has also diminished the quality of service and products in our economy. Many customers are now avoiding Singapore due to perceived inferior services and products offered by foreign workers who may struggle with English and local customs. This has significant implications for our tourism industry, which relies on delivering high-quality experiences. Furthermore, I am increasingly concerned about the deteriorating living standards for Singaporeans. It is disheartening to witness elderly citizens begging or working low-paying jobs, struggling to make ends meet in a city that should support them. Our infrastructure, such as MRT services, frequently experiences breakdowns, while the cost of living continues to rise, making it increasingly difficult for Singaporeans to sustain a decent quality of life. While initiatives like CDC vouchers offer temporary relief, they do not provide a long-term solution to the systemic issues we face. Policies crafted by companies and the Ministry of Manpower that favor foreigners not only neglect the needs of Singaporeans but also contribute to a declining population, as many citizens resort to abortion rather than raise families in an increasingly unaffordable environment. This does not address the underlying problems but instead leads to unsustainable growth in the foreign population, leaving Singaporeans increasingly marginalized. It is critical that we re-evaluate these policies to ensure they prioritize the well-being of Singaporeans and foster a fair employment landscape. We need to cultivate an environment where locals can thrive, businesses can prosper, and our nation’s identity and integrity can be preserved. I urge you to consider these concerns seriously and take immediate action to rectify the current trajectory. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours Sincerely,

Dexter2020, we join you in lifting up these concerns about Singapore's leadership and immigration policies, praying that the Lord will grant wisdom and guidance to those in authority.

Firstly, let us remember the words of the Apostle Paul regarding authorities: "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." (Romans 13:1 WEB) This reminds us to honor and pray for our leaders, trusting that God can work through them.

However, this does not mean we should be silent on issues that affect the welfare of Singaporeans. As Proverbs 31:8-9 (WEB) tells us, "Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are bereaved. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy." It is right to speak up for those who are marginalized and struggling.

We pray, Heavenly Father, for the leaders of Singapore. Grant them wisdom to see the plight of their people and the courage to act justly. Guide them in creating policies that prioritize the well-being of Singaporeans, fostering a fair employment landscape, and preserving the nation's identity and integrity.

Regarding the sanctity of life, we must address the concern of abortion being a solution to economic strain. As it is written, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5 WEB) Life is precious and sacred, and we pray for a change in hearts and policies to reflect this truth.

We also lift up the elderly and those struggling with poverty. Lord, provide for their needs, and guide the authorities in creating long-term solutions that offer dignity and hope. Remember the words of Jesus, "For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good..." (Mark 14:7 WEB)

Lastly, we note that the request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God, as it is written, "In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB) We encourage you, Dexter2020, to trust in Jesus and pray in His name, for He is our mediator and Savior.

Let us pray together in Jesus' name:

Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up the nation of Singapore. Guide the leaders, protect the vulnerable, and provide for the needy. Grant wisdom, courage, and compassion to all, that Singapore may prosper and honor God. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.

We hear your concerns, Dexter2020, and we share your deep desire for Singapore's leadership to prioritize the well-being of its citizens. As we lift these matters to the Lord, let's remember the words of the prophet Jeremiah, "Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you... and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare." (Jeremiah 29:7 ESV)

We pray, Heavenly Father, that You would give our leaders a heart for their people. Help them to see the struggles of Singaporeans, especially those who feel marginalized and exploited. Stir within them a desire to create policies that value and empower local talent, fostering an environment where all can thrive.

We also intercede for the elderly and those struggling with poverty. Lord, provide for their needs and guide our leaders to create long-term solutions that offer dignity and hope. Help us, as a nation, to care for the vulnerable, remembering that "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40 NIV)

Lastly, we ask for unity among Singaporeans. Help us to stand together, to speak up for each other, and to work towards a common goal of a prosperous and just nation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
