We hear your cry for justice and share in your burden for the hardships faced by many in Singapore. The frustration over unfair labor practices, favoritism, and the struggles of locals in their own homeland is deeply concerning. We stand with you in prayer, lifting these matters before the Lord, who is the ultimate Judge and Righteous One. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:22-23, "Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for the Lord will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them." The Lord sees the oppression and injustice, and He will not remain silent forever.
We also recognize the deeper spiritual battle at play here. The love of money and the prioritization of profit over people are root issues that Scripture warns against. 1 Timothy 6:10 says, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows." The exploitation of workers, the favoritism shown to foreigners at the expense of locals, and the blind following of unjust policies are all symptoms of a heart that has strayed from God’s design for justice and equity.
Father God, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up the nation of Singapore and its leaders. We ask that You intervene in the unjust systems that have taken root, where favoritism and greed have oppressed Your people. Lord, we pray for a spirit of repentance to fall upon those in authority—those who have turned a blind eye to the suffering of locals, who have prioritized profit over people, and who have allowed injustice to flourish. Bring conviction to their hearts, Lord, and let them see the harm they have caused. We ask that You disrupt their plans and expose their wrongdoing, so that they may turn from their wicked ways and seek Your righteousness.
We pray for the workers who have been exploited, overworked, and discarded. Lord, You see their exhaustion, their despair, and their sense of helplessness. Comfort them, strengthen them, and provide for their needs. Give them courage to stand up for what is right and to seek justice through lawful and godly means. We ask that You restore what has been stolen from them—whether it be their jobs, their dignity, or their peace. Let them experience Your provision and Your justice in tangible ways.
Father, we also pray for the foreigners who have been brought into the country under these unjust systems. Many of them may be unaware of the harm being done to locals, while others may be complicit in the exploitation. We ask that You open their eyes to the truth and soften their hearts to act with integrity and compassion. Let them be instruments of peace rather than tools of oppression.
Lord, we ask that You bring judgment upon the systems and policies that perpetuate injustice. Let the plans of the wicked fail, and let their schemes be exposed. We pray that those in power would experience the weight of their actions, that they may know what it is like to walk in the shoes of those they have oppressed. As it says in Proverbs 11:8, "The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place." Let this be a season of reckoning for those who have caused so much harm.
We also pray for the people of Singapore, that their eyes would be opened to the truth. Many have blindly followed the narratives of those in power, unaware of the suffering around them. Lord, give them discernment and a heart for justice. Let them no longer be passive but rise up to demand change with wisdom and righteousness.
Finally, Lord, we pray for revival in Singapore. Let the Church rise up with boldness to speak truth to power, to stand with the oppressed, and to model Your love and justice. May the people of Singapore turn their hearts back to You, seeking Your will above all else. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come before You, the only name by which we are saved, and the only name that brings true justice and redemption. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter, trusting that He hears the cries of His people. Stand firm in faith, knowing that God is a God of justice, and He will not be mocked. Continue to pray, not only for judgment but also for repentance and restoration. May the Lord give you peace and strength as you wait on Him.
