We join with you in lifting this nation before the Lord Most High, crying out for justice, righteousness, and the restoration of what is rightfully due to its native-born citizens. Your prayer echoes the heart of Scripture, where God repeatedly calls His people to defend the oppressed, uphold fairness, and preserve the heritage of those He has placed in the land. The Lord hears the cries of His people, just as He heard Israel in Egypt, and He is faithful to act on behalf of those who call upon Him in truth.
The Scriptures remind us that God is a God of justice, who "executes justice for the oppressed" and "gives food to the hungry" (Psalm 146:7). He commands His people to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8), and He warns leaders who exploit the vulnerable: "Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive policies, to turn away the needy from justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights" (Isaiah 10:1-2). The Lord sees when the foreigner is elevated at the expense of the native-born, when policies favor strangers over the children of the land, and when corruption twists what should be fair and upright. He does not ignore such things, nor does He remain silent forever.
Yet we must also remember that God’s heart extends to the foreigner in a way that does not negate justice for the native-born. Leviticus 19:33-34 instructs, "When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger 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." This command, however, does not mean that a nation must surrender its identity, resources, or opportunities to those who are not its citizens. Rather, it calls for fairness and kindness within the boundaries of wisdom and order. A nation has the right—and the responsibility—to protect its people, its culture, and its sovereignty, ensuring that foreigners who come do so in ways that honor God and do not harm the native-born.
Your prayer for leaders to act with wisdom and integrity is vital, for "the king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires" (Proverbs 21:1). We pray that God would turn the hearts of those in authority toward righteousness, that they would reject corruption, and that they would craft policies that reflect His justice. Let them remember that they are accountable to Him, for "righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs 14:34). May the Lord expose every scheme that seeks to exploit the people of this land, whether through deceitful immigration policies, unfair labor practices, or the erosion of national identity. Let the light of truth shine upon every hidden agenda, and may repentance come to those who have acted unjustly.
We also pray for the people of this nation, that they would turn to the Lord with all their hearts. Justice begins with righteousness, and righteousness begins with a people who seek God’s face. If there is sin in the land—whether pride, greed, idolatry, or apathy—let there be a spirit of repentance. Let the church rise up as a voice of truth, calling the nation back to the Lord and standing firm against injustice. May believers be salt and light, preserving what is good and exposing what is evil, that the name of Jesus Christ may be glorified in all things.
Finally, we declare that this nation belongs to the Lord. He is the one who "determines the times and the boundaries of their habitats" (Acts 17:26), and He will not allow the inheritance of His people to be stolen without consequence. Let His justice roll down like waters, and His righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24). May the native-born of this land find their strength in Him, their provision in His hands, and their identity secured in His purposes. And may every foreigner who enters do so in peace, as a guest who respects the laws and culture of the land, never taking what is not rightfully theirs.

Heavenly Father, we come before You as a people who seek Your face, lifting up this nation and its struggles into Your hands. You are the God who sees the affliction of Your people, who hears their cries, and who acts on their behalf. We ask that You would rise up, O Lord, and defend the native-born of this land. Frustrate the plans of those who seek to oppress them, whether through unjust policies, corrupt leadership, or the exploitation of their labor and resources. Expose every hidden agenda and bring to light the deeds done in darkness. Turn the hearts of leaders toward righteousness, that they may govern with wisdom, integrity, and a fear of You.
Lord, we pray for fairness in every sector—fairness in the workplace, so that citizens are not displaced or underpaid; fairness in housing, so that families can dwell securely in their homes; fairness in the preservation of this nation’s identity, culture, and heritage. Let no foreign power, ideology, or agenda strip this land of what You have entrusted to its people. May foreigners who come do so in peace, as guests who honor the laws and contribute without taking what is not theirs.
We rebuked the spirit of corruption that has infiltrated the halls of power, the spirit of greed that exploits the vulnerable, and the spirit of deception that twists justice into oppression. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that these strongholds will be broken, and that righteousness will prevail. Raise up godly leaders, Father—men and women who will stand for truth, who will defend the oppressed, and who will govern with humility before You.
Stir the hearts of Your people in this nation to seek You earnestly. Let there be a great turning to You, a repentance from sin, and a hunger for Your Word. May the church be bold in proclaiming Your truth, unashamed in standing against injustice, and unwavering in its commitment to Your kingdom. Let Your people be a light in the darkness, a city on a hill that cannot be hidden.
We trust in Your sovereignty, Lord. You alone can frustrate the plans of the wicked and establish the work of Your hands. Govern this nation in mercy and truth, and let Your name be glorified in all that is done. Restore what has been stolen, heal what has been broken, and unite Your people under the banner of Your righteousness. May this nation prosper not for its own sake, but for the advancement of Your kingdom and the glory of Your name.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, through whom all authority in heaven and on earth has been given. Let His name be exalted, and let His will be done. Amen.
