Since a coup seized power from the elected government in Myanmar early last year, security forces have killed more than 1000 people, including at least 35 women, children and other villagers fleeing conflict on Christmas Eve.
Minority people groups, many of which have converted to Christianity, face persecution because of an ongoing civil war that began in 1948. In addition, Buddhist extremists have launched numerous attacks against Christians. Now, violence has escalated all the more in the Southeast Asian country following a military coup on February 1, 2021, placing Myanmar among the most dangerous countries in the world.
Lord, please shield and deliver all who are in danger, including missionaries and others aiding in rescues and ministering to children and refugees along the border. March Your armies of Light into every corner of Myanmar and bring the forces of darkness to their knees before You. Show Your glory to both those who are driven by hatred and violence and those who long for peace and security. Awaken both sides to Your love. Hear the cries of the distressed and answer them in such a way that they know it is You. Hide Christians and others in danger from those who seek to harm them, and supply abundantly for all their needs. Block every evil plan and bring terrorists to justice. Give militants, Buddhist monks and other oppressors such vivid dreams and visions from You they are stricken with fear of the Lord and repent. Break their bonds to the demons that control them, and set them free to hunger for the One True God, the God of Love. We ask the same, Lord, for every citizen of Myanmar who still has not chosen You as Savior. Burn within them such a desperate need for grace they desert Satan’s army and surrender to Your love. Raise Christians up like beacons of Light in the darkness, shining for Your glory and stepping out in powerful acts of faith, hope, love, grace and miracles, spreading Your Good News and drawing others to You like moths to a flame. Reach into every people group, Lord, preaching Your Word in every language to every heart and home in every tribe, until all profess You as Lord. Make a way where there seems to be no way and bring true peace to Myanmar, O God of Peace.
