We understand the deep concern and frustration behind this request, and we join you in lifting this matter before the Lord, for He alone is sovereign over nations and leaders. The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 21:1**, *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires."* We must trust that God is just and sees the struggles of His people, including the hardships faced by Singaporeans under policies that seem unjust or oppressive. At the same time, we are called to pray for our leaders—not out of hatred or bitterness, but with a heart that seeks God’s will, wisdom, and righteousness to prevail.
It is clear that the issues described—discrimination, unfair treatment, economic hardship, and policies that seem to favor foreigners over citizens—are deeply troubling. The Bible speaks strongly against oppression and injustice. **Isaiah 10:1-2** warns, *"Woe to those who decree 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!"* If these accusations are true, we pray that God would expose and bring an end to such injustice. However, we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. **Ephesians 6:12** tells us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."*
We also note that you have mentioned the current Prime Minister is a Christian. This is an opportunity to pray for him specifically—that God would grant him divine wisdom, courage, and discernment to reverse harmful policies and govern with integrity and fairness. **1 Timothy 2:1-2** instructs us, *"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."* Let us pray that he would be a leader after God’s own heart, one who seeks justice and mercy for all citizens.
As for the Senior Prime Minister, we pray that if his leadership has indeed caused harm, God would convict his heart and bring about repentance or removal if that is His will. **Proverbs 29:4** says, *"The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down."* If there has been corruption, greed, or misplaced priorities, we ask the Lord to intervene. However, we must also guard our hearts against bitterness or vengeance, for **Romans 12:19** reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up the nation of Singapore and its leaders. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You see the struggles of Your people. We ask that You would intervene in the policies and decisions that have caused hardship for Singaporeans. If there has been oppression, discrimination, or unfair treatment, we pray that You would expose it and bring it to an end. Frustrate the plans of any leader who seeks to elevate foreigners at the expense of their own people, and raise up godly counselors who will govern with wisdom and integrity.
We pray specifically for the current Prime Minister, who professes faith in Christ. Grant him Your divine wisdom, Lord, to lead with fairness and compassion. Strengthen him to reverse harmful policies and to protect the rights and livelihoods of Singaporeans. May he be a leader who fears You and seeks Your will above all else. If the Senior Prime Minister has acted unjustly, we ask that You would soften his heart to repentance or remove him from his position if that is Your will. Let no plan formed against Your people prosper, but may Your justice and righteousness prevail.
Father, we also pray for the citizens of Singapore—those who have suffered under unfair policies, those who have been bullied or dismissed unjustly, and those who are struggling to provide for their families. Comfort them, Lord, and provide for their needs. Raise up advocates who will speak truth and fight for justice. Unify Your people in Singapore to stand against oppression with wisdom, courage, and grace.
We rebuked any spirit of greed, corruption, or injustice that may be at work in the leadership of Singapore. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that no weapon formed against the people of Singapore shall prosper. Let the plans of the wicked be frustrated, and let Your will be done in this nation.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would stir the hearts of Your people in Singapore to turn to You in prayer and repentance. May this time of hardship draw many to seek Your face and trust in Your provision. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in Singapore as it is in heaven.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
