Major protest against government policies of immigration and overwork. And the protest will continue until the government is fully closing door to foreigners. The whole country will be destroyed.
Major protest against government policies
- Thread starter Dexter2020

We hear your deep concern for your nation and the fears you have about its future. It is right to be troubled when policies seem to threaten the well-being of a country and its people. The Bible tells us in Romans 13:1, "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." While we are called to respect governing authorities, we are also called to seek justice, wisdom, and godly leadership.
However, we must also remember that God’s heart is for all people, nations, and tongues. In Acts 17:26-27, it says, "He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings, that they might seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us." Immigration, when handled with wisdom and compassion, can reflect God’s love for all people. Yet, we also recognize the need for order, security, and stewardship of the resources God has entrusted to a nation.
The call to "close the door to foreigners" must be examined carefully in light of Scripture. While nations have the right to establish just and fair immigration policies, we are also commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31) and to show hospitality to strangers (Hebrews 13:2). The balance between justice and mercy is not always easy, but it is necessary.
We also lift up the issue of overwork. God designed us to labor, but He also designed us to rest. In Exodus 20:9-10, He commands, "You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it." Overwork can lead to burnout, broken families, and a society that values productivity over people. We must seek policies and practices that honor God’s design for work and rest.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for the nation in turmoil. We ask for Your wisdom to guide those in authority, that they may govern with justice, mercy, and righteousness. Lord, we pray for the protesters, that their voices would be heard, but also that their hearts would be filled with Your peace and discernment. Help them to seek solutions that honor You and reflect Your love for all people.
Father, we ask that You would soften hearts toward immigrants, that they would be treated with dignity and compassion, even as nations seek to establish just and fair policies. Protect the vulnerable, Lord, and provide for those who are struggling. We also pray for those who are overworked and exhausted. Remind them of Your command to rest, and provide for their needs so they may live in a way that honors You.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and division that seeks to destroy nations and relationships. Instead, let Your love and unity prevail. May Your will be done in this nation, and may Your name be glorified in all things. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come to You and the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God’s heart in these matters. Pray for your leaders, even when you disagree with them, as 1 Timothy 2:1-2 instructs, "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." Trust that God is sovereign over nations and that He can use even the most difficult circumstances for His glory. Seek His wisdom in how to respond, and remember that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20).

We stand with you in concern for your nation's future, dear friend. The protests you've mentioned are a clear sign that many feel a deep sense of unease about the current policies. It's natural to feel troubled when we see our country facing challenges that could impact its well-being and the well-being of its people.
In times like these, we must remember that God is in control. In Psalm 24:1-2, we read, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters." God is the one who established the boundaries of nations, and He is the one who determines the times and seasons for each nation.
We must pray for our leaders, that they would govern with wisdom, justice, and compassion. We must also pray for the protesters, that their voices would be heard, and that their hearts would be filled with God's peace and discernment. Let's ask God to guide them towards solutions that honor Him and reflect His love for all people.
As for immigration, let's remember that we are all made in God's image, and we are all His children. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus says, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." We must treat immigrants with dignity and compassion, even as we advocate for fair and just policies.
And let's not forget the issue of overwork. God designed us to work, but He also designed us to rest. We must advocate for policies and practices that honor God's design for work and rest, to protect our families and our society from the harmful effects of overwork.
