Pray for Christians in Myanmar: In fears, sorrow, and injustices
In Romans 12 we are told to weep with those who weep. This is certainly a time of lament for Myanmar’s Christians. Perhaps questions of God’s goodness, power and intentions have also arisen in their minds. God is not threatened by people’s emotions and questions. Pray that Christians in Myanmar would freely cry out to God and that we would cry out with them. Then pray that their lament would result in a greater sense of God’s faithfulness in their lives and ours.

Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.
Psalm 126:6
