We understand the deep frustration and sense of injustice you are expressing, and we share your concern for the welfare of the people in your nation. The Scriptures remind us that God is a God of justice, and He calls His people to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him (Micah 6:8). It is heartbreaking to see a government act in ways that seem to prioritize foreign labor over its own citizens, exploit workers, and engage in deceitful practices like gerrymandering. Such actions do not align with the biblical principles of fairness, integrity, and care for one’s own people.
The Bible teaches us that rulers and authorities are established by God, and they are meant to serve as His ministers for good (Romans 13:1-4). When leaders fail in this duty—when they act unjustly, oppress their people, or show favoritism—it is a betrayal of the trust placed in them. Proverbs 29:4 warns, *"The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down."* Similarly, Proverbs 14:34 declares, *"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."* Your nation is suffering under the weight of unrighteous leadership, and this is a matter that weighs heavily on the heart of God.
We also recognize the economic and social struggles you describe—precarious contract work, bullying, and the prioritization of cheap foreign labor over the well-being of citizens. This is not how a godly society should function. In the Old Testament, God commanded His people to care for the vulnerable among them, including the poor, the widow, the orphan, and even the foreigner who lived among them (Leviticus 19:33-34). However, this care was never meant to come at the expense of the native-born citizens. Instead, justice was to be upheld for all, with a special responsibility toward those who belonged to the covenant community. When leaders exploit their own people while favoring outsiders for political or economic gain, it is a grievous sin.
As for the foreigners being granted citizenship while native citizens suffer, this too is a deep injustice. A nation’s first loyalty should be to its own people, ensuring their prosperity, security, and dignity. The Bible does not condemn the fair treatment of foreigners, but it does condemn the neglect or mistreatment of one’s own people in the process. Nehemiah 5 reveals a powerful example of godly leadership: when Nehemiah saw his own people being oppressed by those in power, he took bold action to correct the injustice and restore fairness.
You have asked for prayer for the removal of this government, and we join you in crying out to God for His intervention. However, we must also remember that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. Sometimes, He removes unrighteous leaders swiftly, as He did with wicked kings in the Old Testament. Other times, He allows their rule to continue for a season to accomplish His greater purposes, even using their errors to refine His people and call them to repentance. Our prayer, then, must be for God’s will to be done—whether that means the removal of this government or the transformation of its leaders’ hearts.
Let us also remember that our ultimate hope is not in human governments, but in the Kingdom of God. Jesus told Pilate, *"My Kingdom is not of this world"* (John 18:36). While we pray for justice on earth, we must never lose sight of the eternal perspective. Our battle is not merely against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness that influence the hearts of men (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, we must pray not only for the removal of unjust leaders but also for the spiritual awakening of the nation—so that the people would turn to God in repentance and seek His righteousness above all else.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this nation and its people who are suffering under the weight of injustice, deceit, and ungodly leadership. Lord, You are a God of justice, and Your eyes see every unrighteous deed. You hear the cries of the oppressed, and You are not indifferent to the suffering of Your people. We ask that You would intervene in this situation, Father. If it is Your will, remove this government and raise up leaders who will rule with integrity, wisdom, and a heart for the people they serve. Break the schemes of the wicked, Lord, and expose the corruption that has taken root. Let the truth prevail, and let justice roll down like waters (Amos 5:24).
We pray for the citizens of this land, that You would strengthen them in their distress. Provide for those who are struggling to find stable work, and protect them from exploitation and bullying. Give them wisdom to navigate these difficult times, and open doors of opportunity where there have been none. Father, we also ask that You would soften the hearts of those in authority. Convict them of their sins, and lead them to repentance. If they refuse to turn from their wicked ways, we pray that You would remove them from their positions of power, so that they can no longer harm Your people.
Lord, we know that You are sovereign over the nations, and nothing happens without Your permission. Help us to trust in Your plan, even when we do not understand it. Give the people of this nation a spirit of unity and resilience, and raise up godly voices who will speak truth to power. May this time of trial lead many to seek You, the only true Source of hope and salvation.
We also pray for the foreigners who have been brought into this land. Father, we ask that You would open their eyes to the truth of Your Word, that they may come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. May they not be used as tools of oppression, but may they too experience Your grace and mercy. Let them see the injustice around them and choose to act with integrity, rather than participating in the exploitation of others.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would prepare this nation for a great spiritual awakening. Turn the hearts of the people back to You, that they may seek Your face and walk in Your ways. Let this season of injustice be a refining fire that purifies Your people and draws them closer to You. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to change hearts and nations. Amen.
Brothers and sisters, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and to continue seeking God’s face in this matter. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Trust that God sees your struggle, and He will act in His perfect timing. In the meantime, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). Stand firm in the faith, and let your voice be one of truth and righteousness in a world that so desperately needs it.
We also urge you to examine your own heart in this season. Are there ways you can be a part of the solution? Can you support others who are struggling? Can you speak out against injustice with wisdom and grace? Can you pray for your enemies, as Jesus commanded (Matthew 5:44)? Let this time of trial draw you deeper into dependence on God, and let it fuel your passion for His Kingdom.
Lastly, we must remind you that our hope is not ultimately in the removal of any earthly government, but in the return of our King, Jesus Christ. He alone will establish a kingdom of perfect justice and peace. Until that day, we are called to be His ambassadors, proclaiming the Gospel and living as salt and light in a broken world. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and let your heart find rest in His promises. He is faithful, and He will never abandon His people.
