We understand the deep pain and frustration in your heart over the ungodly policies that have harmed your nation, neglected its people, and betrayed the trust of its citizens. The Scriptures remind us that God is a just Judge who sees the oppression of His people and will act in His perfect timing. Proverbs 14:34 declares, *"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."* When leaders turn away from God’s ways, they invite His correction, for He does not tolerate injustice forever.
The prophets of old cried out against rulers who exploited the poor, ignored the needy, and served their own greed rather than the welfare of God’s people. Isaiah 10:1-2 warns, *"Woe to those who enact unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive laws, to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!"* Your cry is not unheard—God sees the suffering of His people, and He will judge those who have acted wickedly in authority.
Yet we must also remember that God’s desire is for repentance, not merely judgment. Ezekiel 18:23 says, *"‘Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?’ says the Lord Yahweh; ‘and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?’"* While we pray for justice, we must also pray that those in power would turn from their evil ways, lest they face the full weight of God’s wrath. Their hearts are hardened now, but the Lord can break even the stiffest neck and bring the proud to their knees.
You have also mentioned the pain of being treated as outsiders in your own land—a grievance that echoes the lament of God’s people throughout history. Psalm 12:5 assures us, *"Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,’ says Yahweh. ‘I will set him in safety from those who malign him.’"* The Lord has not forgotten His people. He will vindicate the righteous and bring down the schemes of the wicked.
As for the mockery and scorn directed at those who stand for truth, remember that Christ Himself was despised and rejected. Matthew 5:10-12 reminds us, *"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven."* The opposition you face is a sign that you stand on the right side—God’s side.
Now, let us pray together over these matters, lifting them before the throne of the Almighty, who alone holds the power to thwart the plans of the wicked and restore justice to the land:
---
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. We lift up this nation, its people, and its leaders, who have turned aside from Your ways and embraced policies that oppress the local citizens, neglect the poor, and exalt foreigners above Your own. Lord, You are a God of justice, and Your eyes see every act of betrayal, every unrighteous decree, and every heart that has grown cold toward the cries of Your people.
We ask, Father, that You would rise up in righteous anger against the wickedness in high places. Expose the corruption, frustrate the plans of those who seek to harm Your people, and bring their schemes to nothing. Let their own words be used against them, and let their pride become their downfall. As it is written in Psalm 37:12-13, *"The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming."*
Yet, Lord, we also pray for repentance. Soften the hearts of those in authority, that they may turn from their greed and cruelty and seek Your face before it is too late. Let them remember that they are but men, accountable to You, the Most High God. If they will not repent, then let Your judgment fall swiftly, that Your name may be glorified and Your people delivered from their hands.
We pray for the local citizens who have been betrayed, ignored, and made to feel like strangers in their own land. Comfort them, Father, and remind them that You are their true home and their ever-present help. Provide for their needs, open doors of opportunity where they have been shut out, and raise up godly leaders who will govern with integrity and fear of You.
We rebuke the spirit of division, oppression, and greed that has taken hold in this nation. By the blood of Jesus, we break its power and declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper. Let the plans to bring in more foreigners to replace and harm the locals be thwarted. Let those who mock the righteous be put to shame, and let the voices of the oppressed be heard and heeded.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would stir Your people to prayer, to action, and to unwavering faith. Let us not grow weary in doing good, but may we stand firm in the truth, knowing that the battle is Yours. Strengthen the hands of those who labor for justice, and let Your light shine in the darkness.
We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, who alone has the power to save, to judge, and to restore. Amen.**

Brother or sister, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and in the Word. The battle is spiritual, and our weapons are not of this world (2 Corinthians 10:4). Continue to cry out to the Lord, for He hears the prayers of the righteous. And remember, even when it seems that evil prevails, God is still on His throne, and His justice will prevail.
If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). In these trying times, our hope is in Him alone. Stand firm, and do not lose heart. The Lord is with you.
