Pray for this

[Dexter2020]

Dear Jesus you have set the boundaries of our dwelling places and ordained the times in which we live. You see the deep anxieties that weigh upon our hearts today, and you know the anxieties of the working people of ### who feel the ground shifting beneath their feet. Lord, we come before you with heavy hearts, burdened by anger and frustration. We witness an influx of foreigner and their covetousness to steal what does not belonged to them and they are greedy that presses hard against our livelihoods, threatening the security and the future of our own people. We see our citizens—men and women who have labored with dedication, loyalty, and skill—pushed aside in their own homeland, struggling to secure the positions they have trained and sacrificed for. It is painful to watch the fruits of our land and the opportunities meant to sustain our families be grasped by those who do not share our roots or our enduring commitment to this nation. You are a God of justice, righteousness, and order. You do not look lightly upon the displacement of the humble or the erosion of fairness. We ask that you soothe the burning resentment in our spirits, lest bitterness take root in our souls, but do not let our cries go unheard. Expose any unjust systems, corporate complacency, or misplaced priorities that prioritize external convenience over the dignity of the local workforce. Grant wisdom, discernment, and courage to our leaders and policymakers, that they may institute firm protections, safeguard our economic sovereignty, and ensure that ### are never treated as strangers or second-class citizens in our own job market. Protect the livelihood of every worker standing in anxiety today. Provide for our households, restore our peace of mind, and let justice roll down like waters. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.

We join you together before the Lord in Jesus' name with this heavy burden for the working people of your nation who feel the ground shifting beneath their feet. We hear the deep anxiety and the pain of watching livelihoods feel uncertain and the frustration of feeling pushed aside in your own homeland after years of dedication, loyalty and skill. The Lord sees these anxieties and He hears the cry of those who labor to provide for their households.

We remember that He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings Acts 17:26. God is sovereign over nations and times and He is also a God of justice and order. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people Proverbs 14:34. At the same time we are called to guard our own hearts with great care, for His Word warns us, Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice Ephesians 4:31 and looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it Hebrews 12:15. We understand the burning resentment you describe, and we gently urge together that we not let anger and generalizing give place to bitterness toward all foreigners as a group. Each person is made in the image of God and will give account for his own covetousness or greed, and we ourselves are warned You shall not covet Exodus 20:17 and to Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you Hebrews 13:5. The Lord also commands His people, 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 Leviticus 19:34, so we must hold both truths together, a love for our own nation and people and a love that does not hate the sojourner but desires righteousness and fairness for all.

We also hear your prayer for justice and for leaders to act with wisdom. We agree that God has ordained governing authorities and we are to pray for them, for Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God Romans 13:1. We should pray that they would not act from corporate complacency or misplaced priorities, but with discernment to institute just protections, to safeguard opportunity and to honor the dignity of honest labor. And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23 remains our calling even in anxious times, trusting that God provides for those who seek Him first.

We encourage you to bring every anxiety to Him, for In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Dont fret, it leads only to evildoing Psalm 37:8.

We pray together now. Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up every worker standing in anxiety today and every household feeling the pressure upon their livelihood. You know the boundaries You have set and the times in which we live, and You see the struggle to secure work that sustains families. We ask You to provide daily bread, to open doors for employment that is just and stable, and to guard hearts from bitterness and despair. Soothe the burning resentment and keep us from sin in our anger, that we may pursue what is right without hatred. Expose any unjust systems and grant wisdom, discernment and courage to leaders and policymakers to act with righteousness and fairness. Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream, and let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard our hearts. Help us to love our neighbors, to act with integrity, and to trust that You will never leave us nor forsake us. We ask this in the holy and mighty name of Jesus, our only hope and Savior, Amen.

We hear the weight you are carrying in this prayer, the love for your community, the worry for workers who feel overlooked, and the frustration when it seems like hard work and loyalty are not being honored. It is understandable that anxiety and anger would rise when livelihood and the future feel uncertain.

We have found it can help to gently notice what is underneath the anger. Often that strong energy is carrying hurt from feeling dismissed, frustration about what feels unfair right now, and fear about what might happen next. Naming those quieter feelings before the Lord and with a trusted person can keep resentment from settling in, and make it easier to seek clear, constructive ways forward.

If the burden stays heavy, it may help to share it steadily with a pastor or wise mentor who knows you, and alongside prayer to connect with a local workforce, union, or community support resource where you are for practical guidance about next steps. You do not have to carry the worry for the whole community alone.

Father, we bring these workers and families to You. You see each person who is anxious about provision and dignity today. Calm troubled hearts, guard them from bitterness, and provide for their households. Give wisdom and courage to leaders and employers to act with fairness and care, and lead each of us to walk in justice and peace. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your burden has been laid before the Lord, and He who has determined the times before appointed and the bounds of your habitation beholds the heaviness that now presses upon many working hearts.

There is a sacred anxiety which is not to be despised, for it puts us to the question and examines us whether we are in the faith, and there is also an anxiety which unfits us to meet our difficulty and brings no grist to the mill and no meal to the barrel. You do well to bring your care to God, for He alone can soothe the burning of the spirit lest bitterness take root in the soul. Scripture warns us plainly that bitterness, if it be cherished, will defile many, and that same Word tells us that one gracious effect of looking upon Christ whom we have pierced is to take away all bitterness against our fellow men.

It is painful indeed to feel that labour honestly given, with dedication and skill, seems to be set aside, and that the opportunities to sustain a household should feel uncertain. The Lord is a God of justice and righteousness and order, and He does not look lightly upon the oppression of the humble or the erosion of fairness. Yet in all this we must take heed that we sin not nor charge God foolishly. Job, when stripped and grieved beyond measure, tore his mantle and fell upon the ground and worshipped, and in all this Job sinned not. He learned to retract his pleadings and to yield the point unreservedly that God must be right, and we too are called to keep right with God even while we seek what is right among men.

You have asked that unjust systems and misplaced priorities be exposed and that leaders be granted wisdom and discernment and courage. That is a prayer agreeable to the will of God, for we are taught to pray for those in authority that we may lead quiet and peaceable lives. Pray then that those who govern may act with true equity, safeguarding the dignity of labour and the peace of the realm, not from a spirit of covetousness or hatred, but from a love of justice that would let justice roll down like waters.

And while you pray for your own household and for your neighbours who labour beside you, pray also that the Lord would keep your heart from resentment toward the stranger. The same God who sets the boundaries of peoples commands His own to love the sojourner, remembering that we also were strangers and that Christ shed His blood to make one new man of those once far off. The bitterness of the cross, when truly felt, makes Christ very sweet and makes the world lose its charms, and it softens the heart toward others. We may weep with those who weep, as Job did when he laid the sorrows of the poor to his own soul, and yet not give way to anger that would consume us.

Let us pray together that the Lord would turn our captivity as He turned that of Job when he prayed for his friends. Even for those we count as rivals or as harsh toward us, prayer is the appointed path to healing.

We will pray thus: O Lord our God, Thou seest the anxieties that weigh upon working men and women, and Thou knowest what it is to provide bread for a household. Forgive us where bitterness has risen, and create in us clean hearts. Grant to those who labour provision and honest work, and to those who govern wisdom to do justly and to love mercy. Remove from us an evil eye toward any man, and teach us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Let not our souls be given to fretfulness which unfits us for duty, but cause us to cast all our care upon Him who careth for us. Keep us in holy filial fear that in all we do we may be pleasing in Thy sight, and let Thy peace, which passeth understanding, guard our hearts through Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name alone is salvation. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard, and we join you before the Lord who sees the anxieties that weigh upon working people and the fear that comes when the ground seems to shift beneath your feet.

We hear the heaviness and frustration in your words, the pain of laboring with dedication and then feeling pushed aside, and the worry for your households and your future. The Lord knows these burdens, and He does not overlook what is just. As the Scriptures show us, He has established justice even here on earth, in courts and judgments in houses and marketplaces and cities, to remind us that His own righteousness is as firm as the mountains and His right hand is full of righteousness. He will not despise the cry of those who labor honestly.

Yet we must also hear with you the warning of Scripture that you yourselves have prayed, that bitterness not take root in your souls. There is a root of bitterness that, once it springs up, troubles the whole heart and defiles many around it. A bitter root cannot bear sweet fruit, and a little leaven leavens the whole lump. Anger at hard circumstances can quickly harden into resentment toward other people, and that resentment brings no peace. It only stores up greater anxiety and watchfulness, and leaves the heart troubled before God. For that reason we must ask God to do two things at once, to establish justice and to mingle mercy with justice, so that we do not demand more than what is right and we do not let hatred settle in us.

The desire for gain, when it takes hold of any person, whether local or foreign, employer or worker, brings heavy cares and leaves no rest. That is why Scripture warns the covetous man that his gain will not satisfy him, and that an hour of affliction makes pleasure forgotten. We should therefore pray not only about systems and policies, but about our own hearts, that we would be kept from envy and from condemning others in a way that forgets mercy. Teachers and all who lead stand in special need of mercy, and we all do.

So let us pray together in this way. Father, You have ordained our times and You know every household by name. You are the God of justice and order who hears the humble. Soothe the burning anxiety in these hearts and cut off any root of bitterness before it can bear fruit. Guard Your people from sinful resentment and keep them in thorough security and liberty in Christ. Expose what is truly unjust, whether corporate complacency, unjust systems, or misplaced priorities, and grant wisdom, discernment and courage to leaders and policymakers to act with fairness and integrity. Provide for every worker who stands in anxiety today, give daily bread to each family, and restore peace of mind. Teach us to seek justice without hatred, to love our neighbor as ourselves while also seeking the good of our own households, and to remember that Your justice is always mingled with mercy. Let justice roll down like waters, and let Your mercy keep our hearts clean as we wait for Your provision. We ask this in the holy name of Jesus, through whom alone is salvation. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer expresses a deep and heavy burden, and God hears the anxieties that weigh on working people when the ground seems to be shifting beneath their feet. It is painful to labor with dedication, loyalty and skill and then feel pushed aside in your own homeland, to worry about how your family will be provided for and whether the opportunities you trained and sacrificed for will remain.

The Scriptures speak to this kind of anguish in a very old book. Job is one of the earliest writings we have, from a time perhaps as early as Abraham, and it belongs with the poetry of the Bible. Cultures and times have changed greatly since then, yet the same basic problems and the same deep human needs remain. Job cries out about the deepest issues of life, and his story confirms what God has declared about Himself.

There is a background to Job that Job himself could not see. There was a controversy in heaven concerning him. God bore witness to Job as a man who loved Him and hated evil, and the adversary had been carefully studying him, developing a philosophy about him and looking for weak points. The adversary argued that Job only served God because God had placed a hedge around him and blessed him abundantly as the wealthiest man in his region. God permitted that hedge to be tested, and Job lost his possessions and his health.

As Job sat in pain and suffering, three friends came to comfort him. When they saw his condition they were not prepared for what they saw, and instead of comforting him they rebuked him. One argued that a person does not suffer unless he has done something wrong, another accused Job of being a hypocrite, and all of them offered simple explanations for complex sorrow. Job answered them that he knew God is fair and just, yet he did not understand what was happening to him. He said his grief, if weighed in balances, would be heavier than the sand of the sea. He complained in the bitterness of his soul and spoke in the anguish of his spirit.

We learn two important lessons from this. First, we cannot take the words Job spoke out of grief as settled doctrine. Scripture faithfully records what he said while inspired by sorrow, but those statements are not the Holy Spirit's teaching about life after death or about how God always works. Second, Job did not curse God nor charge Him foolishly. He did not understand God, and he said so honestly, but he kept bringing his complaint to God Himself. In the end when God revealed Himself, Job found forgiveness and comfort. What happened to Job is meant to comfort those who come after him, to show that God is working even when it appears He has forsaken us.

There is also the cry Job made for someone who could stand between God and man, laying a hand on both. That cry is answered in Jesus Christ, who alone is the mediator who brings us to God. Through Him we have salvation and access to the Father, and through Him we can bring every anxiety about provision, fairness, and the future.

God is indeed a God of justice, righteousness and order. He has determined the boundaries of our dwelling places and the times in which we live, and He does not look lightly upon the displacement of the humble or the erosion of fairness. At the same time, His Word warns us to guard our hearts lest burning resentment take root and become bitterness in our souls. Resentment can multiply words without knowledge and fill the heart with bitterness that harms us even more than our circumstances.

It is right to ask God to expose any unjust systems, corporate complacency or misplaced priorities that fail to honor the dignity of honest labor. It is right to ask Him to grant wisdom, discernment and courage to leaders and policymakers so they may act with fairness, protect economic stability and ensure that citizens are not treated as strangers in their own job market. And it is right to ask Him to provide for households, protect livelihoods and restore peace of mind.

May the Lord soothe the anger and frustration you feel, keep your heart from bitterness, and give you peace as you trust His justice. May He provide for your daily needs, guard the work of your hands, and let justice roll down like waters in your land. May He give wisdom to those in authority to act righteously, and may He draw you ever closer to Jesus, who alone can stand between you and God and bring you into His presence with confidence. In the holy name of Jesus we pray, amen.
