Faithful Servant
Singaporean studied hard. We served NS. We did everything right, yet we’re told we’re not good enough for our own country. A new and painful trend is emerging. Qualified Singaporeans are now facing unemployment or underemployment, not because they lack skills, but because of a system that treats them as a cost, not an asset. Under the government’s foreign labour model, companies are rewarded for hiring cheaper alternatives. Why train, invest, or pay fair wages when imported labour keeps costs down? This short-term obsession with “efficiency” is slowly destroying the foundations of opportunity. Young Singaporeans, our engineers, analysts, and graduates, now find themselves struggling to secure stable jobs or meaningful career paths. Many describe feeling “helpless, demoralised and lost.” This isn’t just a job market problem. It’s a national dignity problem. When locals are crowded out from key sectors, our entire nation loses its future core of skilled professionals. No amount of GDP growth can compensate for a generation’s lost potential. It’s time to reject the government’s cheap-labour dependency and build an economy based on talent, innovation, and respect for Singaporeans. Our youth deserve more than survival wages and depression. They deserve a fair chance in their own homeland.
 
We hear the deep sorrow and frustration in your words, and we stand with you in prayer before the Lord, lifting up the struggles of the people of Singapore—especially the young, the skilled, and the hardworking who feel discarded by a system that undervalues their dignity and labor. The pain of being overlooked, underpaid, or replaced despite faithful effort is a heavy burden, and we acknowledge the righteous anger that arises when justice is denied. Yet we also remember that our ultimate hope is not in earthly systems or governments, but in the Lord, who sees the affliction of His people and calls us to trust in His sovereignty even in unjust circumstances.

The Bible speaks clearly about the value of labor and the sin of exploitation. In James 5:4, we read, *"Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies."* God hears the cries of those who are treated unfairly, and He is not indifferent to their suffering. Proverbs 14:31 reminds us, *"He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him."* When a nation’s policies prioritize profit over people, it dishonors the Creator who made every individual in His image.

At the same time, we are called to a higher perspective. Jesus warned His disciples in John 16:33, *"In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."* While we labor for justice and fairness in this life, our ultimate citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), and our trust must remain in God’s provision, even when earthly systems fail us. The apostle Paul, who himself faced hardship and unfair treatment, wrote in 1 Timothy 6:6-8, *"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that."* This does not mean we passively accept injustice, but that our hearts remain anchored in Christ, not in the fleeting promises of this world.

For those who feel helpless or demoralized, we urge you to cling to the Lord’s promise in Jeremiah 29:11: *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future."* Your skills, your education, and your labor are not wasted in God’s eyes. He has a purpose for you, even if the path forward is unclear right now. We also encourage you to seek wisdom in Proverbs 3:5-6: *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*

To the young professionals and graduates who are struggling, we say: Do not let bitterness take root in your heart. Instead, use this season to deepen your trust in God, to sharpen your skills, and to seek His guidance for the next steps. If doors are closed in Singapore, pray for God to open new opportunities—whether within the nation or beyond its borders. Remember Joseph, who was sold into slavery and imprisoned unjustly, yet God raised him up to a position of influence for the saving of many (Genesis 50:20). Your current struggle may be preparing you for a future you cannot yet see.

We also pray for the leaders of Singapore, that God would grant them wisdom and a heart of justice. Proverbs 11:10 says, *"When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting."* A nation thrives when it honors its people, and we ask the Lord to convict those in authority to steward their power with integrity. We pray that policies would shift to value Singaporeans as the true assets of the nation, not as disposable costs.

Finally, we rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to overwhelm God’s people. The enemy wants you to believe that your labor is in vain, that your future is hopeless, and that you are forgotten. But the Word of God declares otherwise! In 1 Corinthians 15:58, we are told, *"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."* Your efforts are seen by Heaven, and God will reward faithfulness in His time.

**Let us pray together:**

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up the people of Singapore—especially the young, the skilled, and the hardworking who feel abandoned by the very system that should protect and value them. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You see the exploitation and the broken promises that have left so many feeling worthless. We ask You to intervene, to soften the hearts of those in authority, and to raise up leaders who will prioritize the dignity of their people over short-term gains.

Father, we pray for every individual who is struggling to find meaningful work. Comfort those who feel helpless and demoralized. Remind them that their worth is not defined by their employment status or their salary, but by their identity as Your beloved children. Open doors of opportunity where none seem to exist. Provide creative solutions, unexpected connections, and divine appointments that lead to stable and fulfilling work.

We rebuke the spirit of fear and despair that seeks to paralyze Your people. Fill them instead with Your peace, Your hope, and Your wisdom. Help them to trust in You even when the path is unclear. Strengthen their faith to believe that You are working all things together for their good, even in this season of waiting.

Lord, we also pray for the church in Singapore to rise up as a beacon of hope and practical support. May believers come alongside those who are struggling, offering encouragement, resources, and prayer. Raise up mentors, networks, and ministries that equip Your people for the work You have prepared for them.

Finally, Father, we ask for a spiritual awakening in Singapore—a turning back to You as the true source of security and purpose. May this season of hardship drive many to seek You with all their hearts. Let Your name be glorified as You provide, sustain, and restore.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone holds the power to bring justice, healing, and redemption. Amen.
