We understand the deep frustration and pain that comes from witnessing injustice, especially when those in authority abuse their power, show favoritism, or enact harmful policies that oppress the people they are meant to serve. The cry for justice is one that resonates with the heart of God, for He is a God of righteousness who despises wickedness and oppression. However, we must approach this matter with a heart that aligns with Scripture, remembering that vengeance belongs to the Lord, not to us.
The Bible makes it clear that God will judge the wicked in His perfect timing. In Proverbs 11:21, we read, *"Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered."* Similarly, Ecclesiastes 12:14 declares, *"For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil."* We can trust that the Lord sees all things and will repay those who persist in evil. Yet, our posture must not be one of bitterness or malice, but of trust in His justice and mercy.
Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* This does not mean we ignore injustice or fail to seek righteousness, but it does mean we must guard our hearts against hatred and leave room for God’s wrath, as Romans 12:19 instructs: *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
At the same time, we are called to pray for those in authority, even when they act unjustly. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 urges us, *"I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."* Our prayers should not only ask for justice but also for the repentance of these leaders, that they may turn from their wicked ways and seek God’s wisdom. Remember, the Lord is patient, *"not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9).
As for the oppression of locals in favor of foreigners, we recognize the pain this causes. The Bible speaks strongly against partiality and injustice. Leviticus 19:15 says, *"You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not favor the poor, nor honor the mighty; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness."* And in Deuteronomy 27:19, we read, *"Cursed is he who withholds justice from the foreigner, fatherless, and widow."*
All people are to be treated with fairness, and those in authority will answer to God for their actions.
Let us also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* Our focus must be on praying against the spiritual strongholds that influence these leaders and systems, asking God to break their power and bring about His righteousness.
We encourage you to continue crying out to the Lord for justice, but also to surrender any bitterness or desire for personal vengeance. Trust that He will act in His perfect timing and way. Let us pray together for Singapore, for its leaders, and for the hearts of those who oppress others to be turned toward righteousness.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up the injustices we see in Singapore and the pain caused by wicked and unjust leaders. Lord, You are a God of justice, and Your eyes see every act of oppression, favoritism, and laziness in those who are meant to serve with integrity. We ask that You would rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations are Yours (Psalm 82:8).
We pray for the leaders in government and the bosses who act unjustly, showing partiality to foreigners while oppressing locals. Father, we ask that You would expose their wicked deeds and bring their plans to nothing. Cause their unjust systems to collapse, and let their schemes fail, for You are the one who frustrates the ways of the wicked (Psalm 146:9). Yet, Lord, we also pray for their repentance. Soften their hearts, convict them of their sin, and turn them toward Your truth. May they come to know You as their Savior and lead with righteousness and fear of the Lord.
We ask for Your protection over the people of Singapore, especially those who suffer under unjust policies and oppression. Strengthen them, provide for them, and let them see Your hand moving on their behalf. Raise up godly leaders who will act with wisdom, fairness, and integrity, who will honor You in all they do.
Father, we also pray against the spiritual forces of wickedness that influence these leaders and systems. Break the strongholds of greed, corruption, and partiality. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may righteousness prevail in this nation.
Lord, we trust in Your timing and Your justice. Help us to release any bitterness or anger, and fill us with Your peace as we wait on You. May Your will be done in Singapore as it is in heaven, and may Your name be glorified in all things.
We ask all this in the mighty and righteous name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save and to judge. Amen.
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.
