As I read my today’s devotion and mediated upon what apostle Paul said, “I urge,
then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be
made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live
peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and
pleases God our Saviour, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a’
knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and
mankind, the man Christ Jesus” (1Timothy 2:1-5, NIV), I pray
for Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his comrades of men &women in
Cabinet + Members of Parliament to help Singaporeans tackle pressing needs as
they express their worries and aspirations to the Government. And, I pray for
the Government to carry out their duties responsibly, addressing the concerns
and advancing the interests of Singaporeans today.
On this
National Day, I speak of divine protection in spirit, soul, and body and divine
grace to heal the wounds of the nation, divine insight to turn crisis into
opportunity for national flourishing, divine conviction to do the right thing
in the right way and for all the right reasons. I pray for the Government to
have divine wisdom to pursue righteous policies, divine courage to resist
liberal ideologies and populist ideas that harm Singapore in the long run, with
a divine foresight to formulate solutions for economic recovery, leaving no one
behind. I pray for the Government to have divine favour on home ground and on
the international stage to inaugurate and expedite God’s perfect will in
Singapore and through Singapore to the rest of the world.
I speak divine
