beloved Myanmar
May 13th, 2008
Our beloved Myanmar is again in the news, this time because of the disaster wreaked by cyclone Nargis. Again the seclusive and ruthless rulers show how inept and cruel they are for not allowing international aid agencies into the country to help the one million citizens of the Irrawaddy delta stranded, hungry and in dire straits of disease and death. Its unthinkable; it makes my blood boil. Please pause now to pray with me for this God-beloved country:
O God, our Deliverer, Defender of the poor and powerless, we ask that you open a way for outside aid to pour rapidly into the devastated areas of Myanmar, so that food, shelter and medical aid can reach the people who have already lost so much. We pray that your church around the world and in Myanmar will be empowered to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, who went about doing good and healing those who were oppressed. May your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

Just said the prayer with you….in total agreement. I’m sure the Lord heard and action is immediately taken.
pray too for China…
S’pore & Chinese govts have a degree of influence over the govt in Burma. I pray for them to put pressure on the Burmese govt to facilitate the flow of aid.
What would Jesus do if he was a burmese christian?

somehow i feel that prayer is a means of placing the burden to God
and God has often gave Man the burden of relieving that burden
