Pray for me as in what would you do in this side of injustice and dejection

[Dexter2020]

Pray for me as in what would you do in this side of injustice and dejection when the government is on the side of foreigners all hired full time permanently while locals are neglected and even though hired for some part time or temporary jobs like some gig workers to suit the foolishness of the government going from contract to contract and mocked by those Christian who don't understand my circumstances and employers can just fire anyone for no reason because of discrimination or refused to do something illegal and then land up without any jobs and security. Jesus did not provide during this season and this had been ongoing for years ever since the foreigners enter the countries and we as locals are treated like second class citizens while foreigners get all the advantages.

We hear the deep pain and frustration in your words, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this burden before the Lord. Injustice is a heavy weight to carry, especially when it feels as though those in authority are complicit in the oppression. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 31:8-9, *"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."* You are not alone in this struggle, and your cry for fairness is heard by the One who sees all and judges justly.

First, we must address the mention of Jesus not providing during this season. It is crucial to remember that our faith is not based on circumstances but on the unchanging nature of God. In Matthew 28:20, Jesus Himself promises, *"I am with you always, even to the end of the age."* Even when it feels like He is silent, He is working in ways we may not yet see. We must hold fast to His promises, for He is our Provider, our Strength, and our Refuge (Psalm 46:1). Let us not grow weary in trusting Him, even when the road is difficult.

The injustice you describe—where locals are neglected while foreigners are favored—is a grievous sin in the eyes of God. Scripture is clear that God hates partiality and oppression. James 2:9 warns, *"But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors."* The government’s actions, whether intentional or not, are contributing to the suffering of its own people, and this is not aligned with God’s heart for justice. We must pray for those in authority, that their hearts would be turned toward righteousness (1 Timothy 2:1-2), and that they would govern with wisdom and fairness.

You also mention being mocked by other Christians who do not understand your circumstances. This is a painful reality, but we must remember that not all who claim Christ walk in His love and compassion. Jesus Himself was misunderstood and rejected, even by those closest to Him. In such times, we are called to lean on Him and find our strength in His presence. Psalm 34:18-19 reminds us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."*

The instability of temporary work and the fear of being unjustly fired are very real struggles. The enemy would love to keep you in a place of fear and hopelessness, but we serve a God who is greater than any earthly system. We must resist the lie that your worth is tied to your employment or how others treat you. Your value is found in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:10). We encourage you to seek opportunities to use your gifts and talents, even in small ways, while trusting God to open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).

We also want to gently address the frustration toward foreigners. While your pain is valid, we must guard our hearts against bitterness and resentment. In Leviticus 19:34, God commands, *"The foreigner who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God."* This does not mean we ignore injustice, but we must respond in a way that reflects Christ’s love, even toward those who may be benefiting from unfair systems.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who is carrying the weight of injustice, neglect, and dejection. Lord, You see the pain of those who are treated unfairly, and You promise to be their Defender. We ask that You would move mightily in this situation, exposing corruption and bringing about justice for those who have been marginalized. Give wisdom to those in authority, that they may govern with righteousness and fairness.

Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear and hopelessness that seeks to take root in this situation. We declare that You are the God who provides, even in the wilderness. Open doors of opportunity that no man can shut, and provide stability where there has been only uncertainty. Heal the wounds of rejection and misunderstanding, and surround our brother/sister with a community that will stand with them in love and truth.

Lord, we ask for Your protection over their heart. Guard them against bitterness and resentment, and help them to see others through Your eyes. Give them the strength to forgive those who have wronged them, even as You have forgiven us. Remind them daily of their worth in You, and help them to walk in the confidence of who they are in Christ.

We also pray for the foreigners mentioned in this situation. Soften their hearts, Lord, and help them to see the humanity in those around them. Break down any walls of division, and let Your love be the unifying force in this land.

Finally, Father, we ask that You would draw our brother/sister closer to You during this time. Let them experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and fill them with hope for the future. May they be a light in the darkness, reflecting Your love and justice to a world that desperately needs it.

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who came to set the captives free and bring justice to the oppressed. Amen.

We're here with you, dear friend, feeling the weight of the injustice you're carrying. It's like the air is thick with the pain of being overlooked, the sting of mockery, and the fear of uncertainty. We want you to know that you're not alone in this. We're standing right beside you, lifting this heavy burden up to Jesus together.

You know, it's easy to feel like God's not seeing, not caring, when we're in the middle of a storm like this. But remember, even when it's dark and we can't see Him, He's still there. He's the same God who parted the Red Sea, who fed thousands with just a few loaves and fish. He's not surprised by your situation, and He hasn't forgotten you.

We need to keep our eyes fixed on Him, trusting that He's working even when we can't see it. In the meantime, let's keep doing what we can, using the gifts and talents He's given us. Remember, even a mustard seed of faith can move mountains.

And let's not forget to love, even when it's hard. Even when it feels unfair, even when it hurts. Because that's what Jesus did for us. He loved us when we were at our worst, and He calls us to do the same.

So, let's pray. Let's ask God to move in this situation, to bring justice and fairness. Let's ask Him to give wisdom to those in authority, to open doors for you, and to protect your heart. Let's ask Him to soften hearts, to break down walls, and to fill you with hope and peace.

And let's trust. Let's trust that God is good, that He loves you, and that He's working all things together for your good and His glory. Because that's what the Bible tells us, and that's what we believe.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
