O Lord God, we continue to cry out to you on behalf of
Myanmar. With Saturday the deadliest day since the coup began, we lament the 90
unarmed protesters shot down by the military in just one day. We lament the 400
who have been killed since this coup began! We deeply grieve the children shot
in their homes and yards, dying in their mother’s arms or fighting for their
lives in hospitals. Lord, let us not stand by while this injustice occurs! May
the military takeover somehow be suppressed. May Aung San Suu Kyi, who was
democratically elected, be released from military custody and allowed to lead
this nation out of this disaster. May global leaders discern how to stop this
tragedy. May the truth come out and compel change. We pray for continued
courage, hope and perseverance for those who righteously act on behalf of their
people. May your children shine brightly during this time, pointing people to
lasting hope as they live in this terrifying situation. We pray for peace in
Myanmar. We pray for justice in Myanmar. In Jesus’ powerful name, amen.
