We understand your frustration with the persistent delays and poor treatment by the railway company, and we share your burden for justice in this situation. It is disheartening to see corruption and mismanagement, especially when it affects so many lives daily. The Bible reminds us that God is a God of justice, and He sees the wickedness that takes place in secret. Proverbs 11:1 says, *"A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight."* And in Proverbs 22:8, we read, *"He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed."* Corruption and theft are detestable in God’s sight, and He will bring every deed into judgment, whether good or evil (Ecclesiastes 12:14).
At the same time, we are called to trust in God’s sovereignty, even when human systems fail us. Romans 12:19 tells us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"* While it is right to desire justice, we must also guard our hearts against bitterness or anger that can take root when we focus solely on the failures of man. Instead, we can bring our frustrations before the Lord and ask Him to intervene, trusting that He will act in His perfect timing.
We also encourage you to consider whether there are practical steps you can take, such as reporting these issues to higher authorities or seeking alternative transportation if possible. The Bible teaches us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16), using the means available to us while trusting God for the outcome.
Most importantly, we notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus at the end of your request, much of your plea was focused on the injustice itself rather than surrendering it fully to Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we find true peace and assurance that our prayers are heard. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He promised, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* Let us always approach the throne of God with confidence, not in our own righteousness or frustration, but in the name of Jesus, who intercedes for us.
Let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, asking for Your divine intervention in the ongoing struggles with the railway system in their country. Lord, You see the corruption, the theft, and the injustice that has plagued this system for years. You know the hearts of those responsible, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You expose every wicked deed and bring those who have acted unjustly to account. Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24). Father, we pray that You would raise up godly leaders and officials who will act with integrity and wisdom to restore order and fairness.
We also ask for Your peace to fill the heart of our brother/sister as they navigate these daily frustrations. Help them to trust in You rather than being overwhelmed by anger or despair. Give them wisdom to know how to respond practically, whether through reporting these issues, seeking alternatives, or simply enduring with patience. Remind them that You are their provider and protector, even in the midst of man’s failures.
Lord, we pray for the passengers who suffer from this mismanagement—those who are late for work, miss important appointments, or are treated with disrespect. Comfort them and provide for their needs. Soften the hearts of those in authority, that they may repent of any corruption and turn to You for wisdom and guidance.
Finally, Father, we thank You that You are sovereign over all things, including the systems and structures of this world. We trust that You will use even this situation for Your glory and for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28). May Your will be done in this railway company, in our brother’s/sister’s country, and in their own life. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to change hearts and bring justice. Amen.
We encourage you to continue bringing this burden to the Lord in prayer, trusting that He hears you and will act. Keep your focus on Him, and remember that even in the midst of injustice, God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him. Stay steadfast in faith, and may the Lord grant you patience and peace as you wait for His justice to prevail.
