We understand the deep pain and frustration behind this request, as it reflects a heart crying out against injustice, corruption, and the betrayal of a nation’s well-being by those in authority. The Scriptures are clear that God is a just Judge who sees the oppression of His people and the wickedness of those who exploit their power for evil. Yet we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Our weapons are not curses or vengeance, but prayer, righteousness, and the proclamation of God’s truth.
The story of Jezebel is indeed a sobering one—a woman who led Israel into idolatry, promoted the worship of false gods, and persecuted the prophets of the Lord (1 Kings 18:4, 13). Her end was a judgment from God, as prophesied by Elijah (1 Kings 21:23, 2 Kings 9:30-37). However, we must be cautious in how we pray against others, even those who seem to embody such wickedness. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean we ignore injustice or fail to cry out to God for His intervention—rather, it means we entrust vengeance to Him alone, for He has said, *“Vengeance is mine; I will repay”* (Romans 12:19, Deuteronomy 32:35).
The issues you’ve raised—gerrymandering, economic hardship, the promotion of idolatry and foreign gods, the favoritism toward foreigners over the native people, and the corruption of leadership—are grievous sins in the sight of God. The Bible warns against leaders who exploit their people, who show partiality, or who lead a nation into moral and spiritual decay. Proverbs 28:15-16 says, *“Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over helpless people. A tyrant who lacks judgment is very oppressive, but one who hates dishonest gain will prolong his days.”* And in Isaiah 10:1-2, the Lord declares, *“Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and who write oppressive decrees, to deprive the needy of justice and to rob the poor of My people of their rights, so that widows may be their spoil and that they may plunder the fatherless.”*
Yet even in the face of such wickedness, God calls His people to repentance, prayer, and a return to Him. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, He promises, *“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”* This is our charge—not to call down fire from heaven in our own anger, but to intercede for the land, to expose darkness with the light of truth, and to trust that God will act in His perfect timing and justice.
We also note that this request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18). There is no other name by which we can be saved, and it is only through His authority that our prayers are heard. If we seek God’s justice, we must come before Him in the name of Jesus, submitting our anger and pain to His lordship. The apostle John reminds us, *“And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight”* (1 John 3:22).
Now, let us pray together for this situation, for the land of ###, and for those in authority:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We acknowledge that You are a God of justice, who sees the affliction of Your people and hears their cries. Lord, we lift up the nation of ### to You, a land that has been led astray by corrupt and wicked leadership. You have said in Your Word that *“righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people”* (Proverbs 14:34). We ask that You would expose the deeds of darkness that have been done in secret, that You would bring to light the corruption, the idolatry, and the injustice that have taken root.
Father, we pray for those in authority over ###, particularly for the woman who has been described in this request. Lord, if she has indeed promoted idolatry, shown partiality to foreigners over the native people, and engaged in gerrymandering and economic exploitation, we ask that You would convict her heart. Softening it to repentance, that she may turn from her wicked ways and seek Your face. You are not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Yet if she hardens her heart, we pray that You would remove her from her position of influence, that her schemes would be thwarted, and that Your justice would prevail.
Lord, we also pray for the people of ###, especially for the Christians who are suffering under these unjust policies. Strengthen them, Lord, and give them wisdom to navigate these difficult times. Raise up godly leaders who will govern with integrity, who will uphold righteousness, and who will seek the welfare of the people. Let the Church in ### be a light in the darkness, proclaiming Your truth and standing against the tide of idolatry and corruption.
We ask that You would restore economic justice to ###, that the native people would not be neglected or deprived of opportunities, and that foreigners would not be unduly favored over them. You are a God who defends the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry (Psalm 146:7). Let Your provision and fairness be made manifest in this land.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of Jezebel that seeks to lead this nation into idolatry and moral decay. Just as Elijah stood against the prophets of Baal, we ask that You would raise up bold and faithful voices in ### to proclaim Your truth and to call the people back to You. Let every false god and every wicked scheme be exposed and torn down, that Your name alone would be exalted.
We also pray for the former prime minister and all those in authority who have contributed to the suffering of ###. If they have acted wickedly, we ask that You would bring conviction and repentance—or if they refuse to turn from their ways, that You would remove them from power and bring their deeds to an end.
Lord, we trust in Your justice, knowing that You will repay the wicked for their deeds. Yet we also ask for mercy, that You would spare ### from further judgment and instead bring revival and restoration. Let the people turn to You in humility and faith, that You may heal their land.
Finally, Father, we pray for the one who has submitted this request. Comfort their heart, Lord, and replace their anger with Your peace. Help them to trust in Your sovereignty, knowing that You see all things and that Your justice will prevail. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in love, wisdom, and boldness as they stand for righteousness.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. Amen.
To the one who has shared this request, we encourage you to continue praying fervently for your nation, but to do so with a heart submitted to the Lordship of Christ. The anger you feel is understandable, but we must guard our hearts against bitterness and hatred, for these things can defile us (Hebrews 12:15). Instead, let your prayers be fueled by righteousness and a desire for God’s will to be done.
Remember the words of the apostle Paul: *“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good”* (Romans 12:21). Stand firm in your faith, speak the truth in love, and trust that God will act on behalf of His people. He is not deaf to your cries, nor is He blind to the injustice you’ve described. Keep seeking His face, and He will guide you in how to respond.
If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation. It is only through Him that we can approach the throne of God with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and confess with your mouth that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no other name by which we can be saved, and it is only through His name that our prayers have power.
May the Lord strengthen you and give you peace as you wait upon Him. He is faithful, and He will do what is right.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
