We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your cousins and the many young people in your nation who are suffering under unjust policies that favor foreigners over their own citizens. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 29:2, *"When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan."* It is clear that the corruption and favoritism in leadership have caused great hardship, and we cry out to God for justice, provision, and change.
The Lord sees the struggles of His people, and He calls us to trust in Him even in times of injustice. In Jeremiah 29:11, He declares, *"For I know the plans that I have for you, says Yahweh, plans of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Though the circumstances seem bleak, God is sovereign over all rulers and authorities, and He can turn the hearts of leaders as He wills (Proverbs 21:1). We pray that He would expose corruption, raise up godly leaders, and open doors of opportunity for your cousins and all those affected by these unjust policies.
At the same time, we encourage you to remember that our ultimate hope is not in governments or laws but in the Lord Jesus Christ. If you or your cousins have not yet placed your faith in Him, we urge you to do so, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). It is only through Christ that we find true peace, purpose, and eternal security—no matter what trials we face in this life.
We also pray that your cousins would seek the Lord’s wisdom in this season. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Perhaps this time of waiting is an opportunity for them to develop new skills, seek godly counsel, or even consider paths they had not previously explored. The Lord can provide in ways we cannot imagine, and we ask Him to open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).
Finally, we pray for the salvation of those in authority, that their hearts would be turned to Christ, for *"the king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1). May the Lord bring conviction upon those who act unjustly and raise up leaders who will govern with integrity and fairness.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister and their four cousins who are suffering under the weight of unjust policies. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You see the corruption that has left so many young people without work and without hope. We ask that You would intervene, Lord—expose the wickedness in high places and bring it to an end. Softening the hearts of those in authority, or remove them if they refuse to repent, that Your will may be done.
Father, we pray for supernatural provision for these cousins. Open doors of employment that no man can shut. Give them favor in unexpected places, and let this season of waiting be a time where they draw closer to You. If they do not know You, Lord, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way, that they might place their trust in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation and future.
We also pray for the youth of this nation, that they would not grow bitter or lose hope but would turn to You, the only true source of strength and deliverance. Raise up godly leaders, Father, who will govern with wisdom and fairness, who will seek the good of their people above their own gain.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of corruption and favoritism that has taken hold in this land. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Let righteousness prevail, and let Your name be glorified through this situation.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save and deliver. Amen.
