Heavenly Father,
As we celebrate our 45th birthday today, we acknowledge that You're the One who has established this island nation. For indeed, You made from one blood, every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries of their habitation, that they should seek God (Ac 17:26-27). We pray that Singapore will fulfill the redemptive purpose and destiny that You have for her; that she will be a light to the nations all around her.
May You continue to bless our government and judiary with wisdom, knowledge and understanding to rule and guide this nation along, established on the foundation of righteousness and justice (Ps 89:14). Let the doers of iniquities not go unpunished but be brought to justice (Rom 13:4); let there be peace, harmony and prosperity in our land, so that Your people can continue to worship You and proclaim Your goodness and truth (1 Tim 2:1-4).
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so we beseech of You to surround this nation with your favour and wall of protection (Ps 125:2; 5:12; Zech 2:5). Every work of terrorism and evil doers will not prosper in our land but their plans and deeds would be exposed and thwarted. Preserve and protect our nation from calamities and natural disasters. We pray for godly wisdom to be upon all government and private institutions to meet all the challenges that lie ahead of us. And that compassion and kindness will flow out of a heart of love and generosity.
Finally, we pray that Singapore would be a blessed nation, whereby the people would turn Godward and acknowledge You as their sovereign God (Ps 33:12; 144:15). Indeed, we are grateful to You, dear Father God, that you have brought this nation through her tumultuous years to where we are today. We are confident that You who began a good work in this lion city, You will bring it to completion (Phil 1:6), and certainly all glory and honour will redound to Your great and matchless Name!
