We hear the deep frustration and pain in your words, and we understand the heavy burden of seeing injustice, discrimination, and betrayal against the people of your nation. It is heartbreaking when those in authority fail to protect and uplift their own citizens, instead favoring foreigners for selfish or corrupt gain. The Bible speaks clearly about the responsibilities of leaders and the call for justice, for God Himself is a God of justice who defends the oppressed and holds the wicked accountable.
The prophet Isaiah declares, *"Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive laws; to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!"* (Isaiah 10:1-2, WEB). This is a stern warning to those in power who exploit their own people while showing favoritism to outsiders. The Lord sees these injustices, and He will not remain silent forever. Proverbs 14:34 reminds us, *"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."* When leaders abandon justice, the very foundations of a society begin to crumble.
We are also reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 23:23, where He rebukes the religious leaders of His day: *"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone."* Justice is not optional—it is a *weightier matter* of God’s law. When a government fails to uphold justice, it is not only a political failure but a moral and spiritual one.
Yet even in the face of such corruption, we are not without hope. The Lord calls His people to pray for their leaders, even when those leaders are unjust. Paul writes 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."* This does not mean we ignore or excuse their sins, but we bring them before the throne of God, asking Him to either change their hearts or remove them from power if they refuse to repent.
We also remember that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), and our trust must never be in princes, governments, or human systems—but in the Lord alone. Psalm 146:3-5 warns, *"Don’t put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God."*
Let us pray together for your nation, for the hearts of its leaders, and for the protection and provision of its people.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this nation where injustice, discrimination, and betrayal have taken root. Lord, You are a God of justice, and Your eyes see the oppression of Your people. You hear the cries of those who are sidelined in their own land while foreigners are favored for unrighteous gain. We ask You to expose the corruption in high places—bring to light every hidden deal, every selfish motive, and every lie that has been spoken to deceive the people. Let the truth prevail, and let the hearts of those in authority be turned toward repentance or be removed from their positions if they refuse to do what is right.
Father, we pray for the locals who suffer under this bias—that You would provide for them, open doors of opportunity, and protect them from further harm. Give them wisdom to navigate these difficult times and unity to stand together in righteousness. Raise up godly leaders who fear You and who will govern with integrity, fairness, and compassion.
We also pray for the foreigners who are being brought in—some may be unaware of the harm being done, while others may be complicit. Lord, convict hearts and bring conviction where there is greed or exploitation. Let no one prosper from the suffering of others.
Most of all, Father, we ask that Your will be done in this nation. If these treaties and policies are not of You, dismantle them. If the leaders will not listen, replace them. And if the people have turned from You, bring revival—let them seek Your face and turn from wickedness. We know that righteousness exalts a nation, and we cry out for Your righteousness to prevail.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.**

Brother or sister, we encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, speaking out against injustice where you can, and trusting that God sees and will act. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Keep praying, keep seeking the Lord’s face, and remember that He is the ultimate Judge who will set all things right.
If there are specific ways you can take righteous action—whether through peaceful advocacy, supporting local businesses, or uniting with others who share your concerns—do so with wisdom and courage. But never place your hope in man. Our hope is in Christ alone, who reigns over all nations and who will one day return to establish perfect justice. Until then, we labor, we pray, and we trust in Him.
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.
