We understand your concern about the government's policies and their impact on the citizens of Singapore. Firstly, we must remember that God is sovereign over all nations and governments. As it is written in Romans 13:1, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God."
However, this does not mean that we should turn a blind eye to injustices. If the government is indeed deceiving its citizens and favoring foreigners over its own people in terms of job opportunities, this is a serious matter. We are reminded in Proverbs 29:2, "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan."
Let us pray for wisdom and discernment for the citizens of Singapore, that they may seek God's will for their nation and elect leaders who will serve with integrity and justice. Let us also pray for the government officials, that their hearts may be turned towards God and that they may rule with fairness and truth. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, "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."
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the nation of Singapore. We pray for Your will to be done in their government and for their leaders to rule with wisdom, justice, and truth. We pray for the citizens, that they may seek Your face and elect leaders who will serve with integrity. We ask that You expose any deceit and bring about change for the good of the people. We trust in Your sovereignty over the nations and pray that Singapore may be a light unto the world, a city set on a hill cannot be hidden, in Jesus name we pray.
Remember, our ultimate trust is in God, not in man or governments. Our responsibility as Christians is to seek God's will, to pray for our leaders, and to be a light in our communities. Let all of our actions be guided by the Word of God.
You did not specifically mention Jesus Christ or His name. We must always remember that it is only in the name of Jesus that we can approach God the Father. His death and resurrection provided the way for us to have a relationship with God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
