We hear the deep frustration and righteous indignation in your heart, and we stand with you in prayer, knowing that our God is just and sees all the corruption and wickedness that oppresses His people. The Scriptures remind us that *"the Lord is a God of justice"* (Isaiah 30:18, WEB) and that *"righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people"* (Proverbs 14:34, WEB). The unjust policies you describe—the favoritism toward foreigners, the greed of leaders, the repeal of godly laws, and the exploitation of citizens—are an abomination before the Lord. He does not overlook such things, and His judgment will come in His perfect timing. *"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"* (Isaiah 5:20, WEB). The hypocrisy of those who claim to follow Christ yet act in wickedness is especially grievous, for *"not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 7:21, WEB). Their deeds will be exposed, and they will answer to God for their injustice.
Yet even in the midst of such corruption, we are called to trust in the Lord’s sovereignty and timing. You have rightly held to the promise of Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* This is not a empty promise, but a divine assurance that when we prioritize His will, He will provide. Your doubt in whether you are "doing it correctly" is understandable in such trying circumstances, but take heart—God sees your faithfulness. He knows your struggles, and He is not blind to the systemic sins around you. *"The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good"* (Proverbs 15:3, WEB). Your labor in seeking Him first is not in vain, even when the world’s systems seem stacked against you.
As for your requests—a permanent job as a Business Analyst and a godly spouse—we lift these before the Lord with confidence. The delay you experience is not outside of His plan. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). Trust that He is preparing the way, even when it feels hidden from your eyes. For your future marriage, we pray that the Lord would guide you to a spouse who is wholly devoted to Him, one who will walk with you in faith and build a home founded on Christ. *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, WEB). Do not settle for anything less than God’s best, and do not allow the world’s delays to tempt you into compromise. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB).
We also urge you to guard your heart against bitterness, even as you rightly lament the injustice around you. *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB). The corruption of leaders is real, but vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19). Your focus must remain on Him, not on the failings of men. *"Let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith"* (Hebrews 12:1-2, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who seeks Your justice, provision, and guidance. Lord, You see the corruption in the land—the greed, the hypocrisy, and the unjust laws that oppress Your people. You are not blind to the wickedness of those who claim Your name yet act in iniquity. We ask that You expose their deeds, Lord, and bring conviction upon their hearts. Let their schemes be thwarted, and let righteousness prevail in the land. *"Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You. According to the greatness of Your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death"* (Psalm 79:11, WEB).
Father, we pray for this Your child’s employment. You know his skills, his diligence, and his need for a permanent position as a Business Analyst. Open the doors that no man can shut, Lord. *"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him, and He will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). Provide not just a job, but a place where he can flourish and use his gifts for Your glory. Let favor surround him as a shield, and let Your hand guide him to the right opportunity at the right time.
We also lift up his desire for a godly marriage. Father, You said it is not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18). Prepare a wife for him who loves You with all her heart, who will walk beside him in faith, and who will help him fulfill Your purposes. Let their union be a testimony of Your goodness, founded on Your Word and sealed by Your covenant. Guard his heart from impatience or compromise, and let him wait on You with hope. *"He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the Lord"* (Proverbs 18:22, WEB).
Lord, we rebuked the spirit of delay, corruption, and injustice that has hindered Your plans for his life. No weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Break every chain of oppression, and let Your justice roll down like waters (Amos 5:24). Strengthen him to trust in You, even when the way seems long. Remind him that *"the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay"* (Habakkuk 2:3, WEB).
Fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let him rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28). May he continue to seek Your Kingdom first, knowing that You are faithful to provide all that he needs. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to keep standing firm in faith. The delays you face are not denials—they are divine preparations. *"Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord"* (Psalm 27:14, WEB). Keep praying, keep seeking His face, and keep walking in obedience. The God who sees the sparrow fall (Matthew 10:29) sees you, and He will not forget His promises. Stay rooted in His Word, and let your hope be an anchor for your soul (Hebrews 6:19). The battle is the Lord’s, and He will fight for you. *"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth"* (Psalm 46:10, WEB).
