Prayer for reporters who "disappeared" in Myanmar

An altered image released by Myanmar's Ministry of Information shows two Reuters journalists, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, in handcuffs.

Lord, today we pray for the truth to come out about what is happening in Myanmar. With hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fleeing the nation and telling tales of rape, murder and destruction, we know conditions are horrific for many. Today, Lord, we pray specifically for the two journalists (and possibly more) who have disappeared while trying to report from Myanmar. We pray for Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo as they deal with their arrest and imprisonment. We ask that truth come out about their location and conditions. We desire that authorities in Myanmar share facts about these journalists’ “crimes,” so justice can be done. Please protect these men and any others who are seeking to bring atrocities to light in Myanmar. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
