We hear the deep frustration and sorrow in your words over the injustices and betrayal you describe in your nation. The favoritism toward foreigners at the expense of locals, the deception in promises of good jobs, and the systemic bias that leaves citizens sidelined in their own land are grievous before the Lord. Such corruption and lawlessness are not only unjust but also an affront to God’s design for righteous governance.
The Scriptures warn us of leaders who exploit their people for selfish gain. Proverbs 29:2 says, *"When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan."* And in Isaiah 1:23, the Lord rebukes those in authority who *"do not judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them!"* Your cry echoes the lament of those who have been abandoned by those sworn to protect them.
Yet we are also reminded in Romans 13:1 that *"there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God."* This does not mean we passively accept wickedness, but that we trust God’s sovereignty even in unjust systems. Our fight is not ultimately against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). We must pray for God to expose corruption, raise up godly leaders, and turn the hearts of those in power toward justice.
We also urge you to consider the words of Jeremiah 29:7, where God instructs His people in exile: *"Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yahweh for it; for in its peace you will have peace."* Even in a land where injustice prevails, we are called to be salt and light—working for righteousness, speaking truth, and trusting God to act.
Let us pray together for your nation:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this land where injustice, deception, and favoritism have taken root. Lord, You are a God of justice, and Your eyes see every act of corruption and betrayal. We ask You to expose the wicked schemes of those in power who exploit their own people while favoring foreigners. Raise up leaders who fear You, who will govern with integrity and defend the rights of the citizens You have entrusted to them.
Father, we pray for the locals who suffer under this systemic bias—those who are sidelined, unemployed, and discarded in their own homeland. Comfort them, provide for them, and give them wisdom to navigate these unjust circumstances. May they not grow bitter but instead place their trust in You, the ultimate Judge and Provider.
We rebuke the spirit of lawlessness that allows foreigners to be elevated while citizens are oppressed. Break the strongholds of greed and deception in the government. Let truth prevail, and let the people’s voices be heard. Stir the hearts of believers in that nation to stand firm in righteousness, to speak boldly against injustice, and to be a light in the darkness.
Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention—turn the tide of this corruption. Bring repentance to those who have betrayed their own people, and let justice roll down like waters (Amos 5:24). May Your will be done in this nation, and may Your name be glorified even in this struggle.
We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to break every chain of injustice. Amen."*
We encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, speaking truth, and seeking God’s justice. Do not lose heart, for *"the Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9). Keep praying, keep trusting, and know that God sees and will act in His perfect timing. If you are a believer, let this be a time to shine as a witness for Christ in the midst of darkness. If you do not yet know Jesus as your Savior, we urge you to turn to Him—He is the only one who can bring true and lasting justice, both in this life and for eternity. *"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved"* (Acts 16:31).
