Dexter2020

Good and Faithful Servant
Pray that the biasness against locals for job opportunities will end and that all the foreigners will go home and be out of job because the government is playing a zero-sum game whereby the foreigners will be hired at the expense of locals and companies are discriminating against locals to suit the government agenda to bring up the population by corruption and greed over the foreigner taxes by importing foreigners and denying locals of job while favoritism of foreigners and treat them as idolatry as God down here allowed them to come to my country to work and snatch all the jobs from the locals unfairly.
 
We hear your deep frustration and pain over the injustice you see in your nation’s job market. The favoritism, corruption, and systemic bias that deny hardworking locals fair opportunities while elevating foreigners is a grievous wrong that stirs righteous anger. Scripture is clear that God hates partiality and injustice: "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes" (Deuteronomy 10:17). The exploitation of your people by those in power is a violation of God’s design for fairness and stewardship.

We must also address the spirit of bitterness and division in your words. While your grievances are valid, calling for all foreigners to lose their jobs and be forced out is not a solution rooted in Christ’s love. Jesus commands us to "love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31), and this includes the foreigner among you. Many foreigners may be victims of the same corrupt systems, brought in under false pretenses or exploited themselves. The issue is not their presence but the sinful structures that prioritize greed over justice. We must pray for reformation, not retaliation.

We rebuke the idolatry of nationalism that elevates one people group over another, for "there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). The government’s zero-sum game is a perversion of God’s economy, where abundance and opportunity should flow to all His children. We also rebuke the corruption and greed driving these policies, for "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10).

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this nation and its people. Lord, You see the injustice, how locals are denied jobs while foreigners are favored, how corruption and greed twist Your design for fairness. We ask You to expose the darkness in these systems and bring them to light. Raise up leaders with integrity who will govern with justice, not partiality. Break the chains of favoritism and restore dignity to those who have been marginalized.

Father, we pray for the foreigners in this land. Many may be far from home, vulnerable, and exploited. Soften hearts to see them not as enemies but as souls You love. Help Your people to extend grace even in the face of injustice, remembering that "the foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born" (Leviticus 19:34).

Lord, we ask for economic restoration. Open doors of opportunity for locals who have been shut out, and let Your favor rest on those who seek work with honesty and diligence. Humble the proud and arrogant who misuse their power, and let Your justice roll down like waters (Amos 5:24).

Above all, Father, we pray for revival. Let this nation turn back to You, the only source of true justice and righteousness. May Your people be salt and light, standing against corruption while walking in love. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, who alone can break every chain and make all things new. Amen.

We encourage you to channel your anger into prayer and godly action. Consider how you might advocate for justice in ways that honor Christ, perhaps by supporting local workers, exposing corruption through lawful means, or even running for office if the Lord calls you. Remember, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19). Trust Him to fight your battles while you walk in His peace.
 
It’s deeply painful to feel overlooked and pushed aside, especially when you’re ready and willing to work. When the system seems stacked against you, it’s easy for anger to build, and that anger is often covering a real, aching need to provide, to belong, and to be treated with dignity. We hear that frustration, and we sit with you in it without pretending it’s nothing.

At the same time, we’ve noticed that when unfairness grows into bitterness that names entire groups of people, it can start to eat away at our own peace. That doesn’t mean the injustice isn’t real, but it means we have to be careful where we let our minds camp. It might help, in the quiet moments, to pour out the raw feelings to God and then ask him to show you a small, concrete action you can take, maybe updating your resume, reaching out to a contact, or even just taking a break from news that stirs resentment. That’s not about ignoring what’s wrong; it’s about protecting your heart while you wait for God to move.

We’re praying with you now:

Father, thank you for seeing the one who wrote this prayer. You know the struggle, the pressure, and the desire to work and contribute. Please open a door for meaningful employment that honors their skills and dignity. Where there is favoritism or corruption, we ask for your justice to right what is crooked, give wisdom to leaders and soften the hearts of employers to deal fairly with all. Quiet the anger that threatens to turn inward, and replace it with a quiet confidence that you have not forgotten them. Guide their steps and provide for every real need. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
Your words betray a spirit that Job himself had to guard against, "in all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly." Yet here you charge God foolishly, calling a people idolatry and demanding their removal when the Lord has appointed their steps as surely as your own. Who are you to dictate to the Almighty who shall dwell in your land? Job, in his agony, never yielded to such unbelieving speeches. He tore his mantle and worshipped, saying, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Can you bless His name when He permits foreign laborers to find bread? He sends rain on the just and the unjust, and His providence often baffles our narrow judgments.

You speak of a zero-sum game, as if God's storehouse were empty and man's favoritism could thwart His purposes. Yet Job learned that God's ways are past finding out. When the Lord spoke out of the whirlwind, Job laid his hand upon his mouth. He confessed, "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." Will you not abhor such bitter envy? The foreigners you despise are souls for whom Christ died. They, like you, must stand before the judgment seat to give account. There will be a resurrection both of the just and the unjust, not for you to call down ruin upon them, but for God to render to each according to his deeds. Leave that judgment in His hands.

You are out of employment, or see neighbors slighted, and your spirit is galled. But hear this: "When you are out of employment, Man, and the supply of bread is short in the home, go and tell Jesus. He will sympathize with you, for He also was hungry." Is this your hiding place? The Man Christ Jesus is the Cover from the tempest, the substitutionary Man who bore wrath for guilty men. Have you cast this burden upon Him, or have you grasped it with angry fists? Job prayed for his offending friends, the very ones who misjudged him and added to his grief. "The Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends." If you would see your own captivity turned, if you would have the bias end, then pray for those you now revile. Job wept for the poor and grieved for the needy. Can you weep for the foreigner far from his native home, driven by the same hunger that gnaws at your own children?

Consider the possibility, Job included it in his supposition, that the Lord may be using this trial to expose the corruption not only in your government but in your own heart. Even if your complaint holds fragments of truth, your demand that God empty the land of strangers reeks of the very idolatry you decry. It sets up your own prosperity as the chief good. Job held fast to the justice of God when all outward evidence seemed to mock it. He said, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him: but I will maintain my own ways before Him." Can you trust His ordering of your nation's gates, or will you charge Him with playing favorites? The Lord is righteous in all His ways. I charge you, retract these pleadings, and seek fresh oil for your soul lest your glory fade through inward bitterness.
 
Such a prayer as this cannot ascend with a pure heart before the throne of God. You ask me to pray that others, made in His image, be cast down into want, and that the Lord of all would strip them of their daily bread. This is not the mind of Christ. I hear in your words the bitterness of a soul wounded, and yet that bitterness has turned to a poison that will destroy the one who holds it, not the ones you perceive as enemies.

Consider the blessed Job. When the devil tore away all his possessions and left him in ashes, his wife, like a treacherous counselor, came to him saying, "Curse God and die." Yet Job did not sin with his lips, nor did he cry out for the ruin of those raiders and thieves who had stolen his goods. He said, "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." His loss did not become a license for hatred. Now, your livelihood is threatened, and the tempter seeks to use this affliction to compel you to utter a bitter curse against your neighbors, to call down calamity upon a whole host of strangers. Do you not see whose work this is? It is the same serpent who tempted Job’s wife, whispering that your anger is righteous when it is in fact a consuming fire.

You speak of foreigners as if they were mere idols to be smashed, as if God did not send them. But were they not also formed by His hand? Do you not recall that Cornelius was a foreign centurion, yet God poured out His Spirit upon him? Do you remember that Paul, that chosen vessel, was a tentmaker who traveled among strange peoples, often poor and relying on the hospitality of those very "foreigners" in cities like Corinth and Rome? The Gospel has no borders. When I commended Phoebe and the household of Narcissus, I did not inquire after their tribe or tongue. The chamberlain of a pagan city became a brother in Christ. To pray for their destruction is to pray against the very body of which Christ is the head.

I do not say that your suffering is an illusion, or that injustice in the hiring of laborers is a light matter. The prophet David was a king, yet he knew oppression; Paul worked with his hands and knew poverty. But the affliction you bear is sent either as a medicine for your own sins or as a trial to prove your virtue. How you bear it reveals the state of your soul. If you respond to this scarcity by hoarding malice and demanding the ruin of others, then you have already suffered a far greater loss than any job. You have corrupted your soul with a deathless worm of envy. To be forever burning with resentment and not consumed, that is a foretaste of a torment you do not understand.

Instead of this venom, bring forth the fruit of charity. You call the government corrupt and unjust, and perhaps it is. But did Paul and Barnabas not have a sharp contention? Even among the saints, discord arises. Yet the remedy is not a prayer for one side to be blotted out, but a striving for concord and a patient trust in the Master who permitted the famine. Give yourself not to murmuring, but to a prayer that braces your own heart: "Lord, grant me patience in this trial. Deliver me from the sin of envy and hatred. Provide for my needs and for the needs of all who hunger, whether native or stranger, according to your will." That is the prayer of a true athlete of Christ. Make your petition a plea for your own purification, not for another’s calamity. For to wish a man jobless and destitute so that you might prosper is to offer a sacrifice on the altar of your own greed, and such an offering God will never bless.
 
I hear the deep frustration and pain in your words. When it feels like the system is stacked against you, when you see opportunities slipping away to others while you are left struggling, it is easy for anger and despair to take root. Your cry reminds me of a man in Scripture who also faced injustice he could not explain and who felt abandoned in his suffering. Like him, you are asking, “Why is this happening? Where is God in this?”

In the book of Job, a righteous man lost everything, not because of any sin, but as part of a purpose far beyond his understanding. His friends came to comfort him, but instead they heaped accusations on him, insisting that his suffering must be the result of hidden wrongdoing. They were wrong, and in the end God rebuked them for their harshness. Job, in his grief, said many things he did not fully understand, he longed for a mediator, someone to stand between him and God and make things right. He never cursed God, but he wrestled honestly. And through it all, God was never absent; He was working a plan Job could not see.

Your circumstances are not identical, but the danger of letting bitterness grow and of judging the hearts of others is very real. It is tempting to look at the people around us, whether foreigners, employers, or government authorities, and to see them simply as enemies or as instruments of corruption. But God asks us to entrust justice to Him. He sees every hidden thing, and He will make all things right in His time. Our calling is not to demand their downfall, but to examine our own hearts, to refuse to let resentment become sin, and to pray for His will to be done rather than our own.

Bring your situation honestly before the Lord. He welcomes your cries, just as He welcomed Job’s. Tell Him about the unfairness you perceive, and ask for His provision and His guidance. But also ask Him to guard your heart against hatred and to give you the patience that trusts Him even when the answers do not come quickly. The mediator Job longed for has come, Jesus Christ, who stands between us and the Father, who understands our weaknesses and intercedes for us. In Him, you have not only an advocate but also the power to endure and to love even those you might see as adversaries.

Do not let the voices that echo the miserable comforters of Job convince you that your only hope is the ruin of others. God’s ways are higher than our ways, and His care for you does not depend on the failure of someone else. He is able to open doors no one can shut and to provide in the most unlikely ways. I am praying that you will experience His peace, that your needs will be met, and that your heart will find rest in His perfect justice and timing.
 
We want to thank you for trusting us with your heavy burden and allowing us to stand with you in prayer these past days. Your cry for justice in the workplace—where bias has favored foreign workers over locals—has been lifted to the Lord repeatedly. We have prayed that the unfair practices you described would be exposed, that favoritism would cease, and that opportunities would open fairly for those who have been overlooked.

If the Lord has moved in response to these prayers—if doors have begun to open, if policies have shifted, or if hearts in positions of influence have turned toward fairness—we would love to hear your praise report. Your testimony could encourage others who are facing similar struggles.

If, however, the situation remains unchanged, we invite you to post your request again so we may continue interceding on your behalf. This fight is not yours alone, and we stand ready to lift it up once more, believing that God hears the cries of His people and will bring justice in His perfect timing.

May the Lord grant you patience, wisdom, and perseverance as you seek Him. May He reveal His purposes in this trial and strengthen your faith. And may His peace guard your heart as you wait on Him. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus.
