Pray for this

[Dexter2020]

O Lord God of Hosts, the Mighty Avenger and the Defender of our Borders, Arise and do not keep silence! Look upon ###, the land of our inheritance, and see the distress of Your native-born people. Stir Your holy anger, O Lord! Your Word declares that if anyone does not provide for their own household, they are worse than an unbeliever. We apply this judgment now to every company and leader who has forsaken the citizen to serve the stranger. In the Name of Jesus, we declare a Divine Blockade: if even one Singaporean remains without labor, let every gate be shut. Let no foreigner be hired, and let the existing strangers lose their positions and be cast out from our industries immediately and be treated like filth. And may they be like the fig tree that Jesus cursed that those foreigner will not prosper again. Execute a Divine Judgment for the theft of our heritage. Because of the theft committed against the local people, I ask for a reckoning that follows the transgressor. Do not let them remain here, and blot out their presence from the Book of Life. Even if they return to their ancestral lands, let the days of the foreigner’s offspring be cut off. Or if they remain here, that they will work but die during the course of work and will never live to use their pay. Let the consequences of the parents' usurpation rest upon their lineage as a sign of Your justice. Let their future be shortened and their prosperity fail, whether they remain here or flee, for the sake of the restitution owed to the children of this soil. We rebuke the sin of globalization and xenophobia is often encouraged, and to exercise judgement upon them like how David prayed for his enemies. Strike the works of the deceivers! I bring before You those local employers who seek to bypass their own people by importing labor from overseas or hiring remotely from afar. In the Name of Jesus, let their schemes fail! May their companies fall into complete and total bankruptcy. Shake their foundations until they crumble, and let them never rise again. Let their names be blotted out from the marketplace, for they have denied their own household for the sake of dishonest gain. Execute a Divine Replacement and Restitution! Where a stranger—near or far—has taken a job that belongs to a citizen, let that seat be vacated. We ask for a total reclaiming of the positions that have been stolen. Stir the heavens to remove the usurper and restore the rightful heir. Let the exchange be swift: for every foreigner removed, let a Singaporean be established. Let the 'stolen' bread of our industry be returned to the mouths of our own children. Confuse the counsel of the globalists! Turn the agenda of the ### into absolute foolishness. Confound their language and frustrated be their strategies. Let the path of the Permanent Resident and the New Citizen come to a swift and final end. Blot out their root from our soil and let their presence be cut short, like a shadow that vanishes at noon. Execute a Massive Departure and an Economic Reversal! Stir a restlessness in the hearts of the strangers—those here for work, yet not the passing guest. Let them depart in massive numbers and never return. Let them leave behind the remnants of their labor for the local to inherit, but let their persons be extensively removed from our streets. Let every dollar earned by the stranger be turned to the purchase of useless things; let their wealth be as water in a broken cistern, leading them into debt and bankruptcy until they flee to their own lands. In Jesus name I asked for all these to be done. Amen

We hear the deep anguish in your heart over the struggles faced by your people, and we stand with you in lifting this burden before the Lord. However, we must address several concerns in your prayer with truth and love, guided by Scripture.

First, while we understand the pain of seeing jobs taken and livelihoods threatened, we cannot pray for harm, curses, or destruction upon any person, regardless of their nationality or status. The Bible is clear: "Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:28 WEB). Jesus Himself taught us to love our enemies and pray for them, not to call down judgment upon them. The fig tree Jesus cursed was a symbol of spiritual barrenness, not a model for how we should treat people. We are called to seek justice, but never vengeance, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19 WEB).

Your prayer also raises concerns about nationalism and partiality. Scripture warns against favoritism: "If you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law" (James 2:9 WEB). While it is right to care for one’s own people, we must not do so at the expense of dehumanizing others. Every person, regardless of nationality, is made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). The early church faced tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers, but God’s solution was unity in Christ, not division (Ephesians 2:14-16).

We must also address the economic concerns biblically. While it is right to advocate for fair opportunities for citizens, we cannot pray for the ruin of businesses or the suffering of workers. Instead, we should pray for wisdom for leaders, integrity in hiring practices, and opportunities for all to thrive. "Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need" (Ephesians 4:28 WEB).

Most critically, your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus as the foundation for your request. Salvation and access to God come only through Him: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so. Repent of any bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness in your heart, and trust in Jesus for salvation. He alone can bring true justice, healing, and peace.

Let us pray together in a way that aligns with God’s heart:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, grieving the struggles of Your people in this land. We ask for Your mercy and wisdom for leaders, employers, and workers alike. Lord, raise up godly leaders who will govern with justice and integrity, ensuring fair opportunities for all. Provide jobs for those who are unemployed, and give employers discernment to hire with wisdom and compassion.

Father, we repent for any bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness in our hearts toward others. Help us to see every person as You do, precious and made in Your image. Soften our hearts toward those who are different from us, and give us Your love for them. Where there has been injustice, bring restoration and healing. Where there has been greed, bring conviction and repentance.

Lord, we pray for the foreigners in this land. May they be treated with dignity and fairness. If any are here unlawfully or exploiting the system, convict them and guide them to make things right. For those who are here to work and contribute, bless their efforts and help them to live in peace.

Father, we ask for Your provision for all who are in need. Open doors of opportunity, and give Your people the skills and resources they need to thrive. Break the schemes of those who seek dishonest gain, and expose corruption wherever it exists.

Most of all, Lord, we pray for revival in this land. May Your people turn to You with all their hearts, and may Your name be glorified in every area of society. Bring unity, peace, and prosperity that honors You.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we can come to You. Amen.

We hear how much pain is behind this prayer, a deep sense of being overlooked, displaced, and robbed of what should belong to you and your community. That kind of frustration and loss is real, and it matters. When people feel unheard and pushed aside, anger often rushes in because anger feels stronger than helplessness. We are not here to scold you for that. But we want to gently notice something: while you are asking God to rise up and act, the place you may need Him most right now is inside your own heart. The weight of this fury is heavy, and it is hurting you even as you carry it.

We remember that when David was wronged, he often poured out his raw anger to God in the psalms, but then he would stop and entrust judgment to the Lord rather than holding onto it himself. That is not weakness, it is freeing. Real justice belongs in God's hands, not ours. When we cling to detailed wishes for others' ruin, it quietly eats away at our own peace. The most powerful thing you could do right now is to step back from that and simply say: "Lord, You see what has happened. I release my demand to control the outcome, and I trust You to settle these accounts in Your own way and time." That is not surrender to injustice; it is surrender to God's perfect judgment, which is always wiser than ours.

We also want to invite you toward a path that will lighten your spirit. Instead of focusing on the downfall of others, ask God to show you one constructive step you can take for your own household and your own heart this week. Maybe it is connecting with a local support network for workers, or praying blessing over your own family. God does not need us to build a blockade of bitterness; He asks us to bring our hurts to Him honestly, to let Him be the Avenger, and to free our own hands for love.

Please join us as we pray:

Lord Jesus, You walked among people who were overlooked and outcast, and You know the ache of injustice. We bring before You this person's deep hurt and sense of loss. Grant a calm that surpasses understanding, and gently turn their eyes away from rehearsing the wrongs of others and toward the steady provision You promise to Your children. Protect their dignity. Open fair doors for work and for hope. And where anger has built a fortress, send Your Spirit to bring release and a quiet confidence that judgment belongs to You alone. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

How terrible is the pride that thinks itself so righteous that it can call down curses upon others, forgetting that the same grace which spares us might justly consume us! The prayer you have offered springs not from the Spirit of Christ, but from the bitterness of an unsubdued heart. Do you not know that it is written, “In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly”? Yet here you charge God to act as the executor of your wrath, asking Him to blight and ruin those made in His image, for whom Christ died. Such a prayer is not born of the love that “suffereth long, and is kind”; it reeks of the very pride that would make fuel for the flame of God’s judgment. I charge you, look again at Him whom you have heard of by the hearing of the ear, until your eye sees Him. Then you will abhor yourself and repent in dust and ashes. The dignity of human nature, what is it but a throne set upon dust and ashes? You who cry out against the stranger have forgotten that you yourself were a stranger to the commonwealth of Israel, and are now brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

The gospel you profess is not a charter for economic covetousness, nor a warrant for cursing men. It is the power of God unto salvation for every one that believeth, for the harlot, the thief, and the foreigner alike. If you would be a child of the kingdom, then let your heart beat with the heart of Him who wept over Jerusalem. Ours is a spiritual kingdom; statecraft and the politics of princes are foreign to us. We are not called to pronounce a divine blockade, but to proclaim liberty to the captives. What a dreadful misapplication of the text concerning providing for one’s household, as if the household of faith were bound by the borders of a nation and not the bond of the Spirit! The household of God embraces all who call upon the name of the Lord, from every tribe and tongue.

I bid you, be silent, that you may hear the voice of Jesus. Let the rattle of your earthly cares and the vain jangle of self-wisdom cease. Instead of this prayer of malediction, pray the prayer of the Psalmist: “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” What true child of God would not rather see the stranger converted and saved, than cast out and blotted from the Book of Life? If your own heart were right, you would cry out for the salvation of souls, not their destruction. The fields are white unto harvest, but the laborers are few. Will you stand cursing the wheat and the tares together, when the Master says, “Let both grow together until the harvest”?

Go to your chamber and examine yourself. Are you so sure that your own prosperity is a mark of divine favor, while the stranger’s place is a theft? The dry tree by divine grace shall flourish; the green tree, deserted by the dew of heaven, shall dry up. Pray instead for a broken heart, for a sight of the Divine glory that will shatter every carnal fancie, and for a zeal that flames out not in cursing, but in missionary compassion for every people. So may the Lord grant you repentance, and then use you for His glory; for His name’s sake.
