Righteous Lord, we lift up Myanmar, where violence has taken the lives of many, including precious children. We ask that You would make justice your measuring line and righteousness your plumb line in this land where the innocent suffer. Let Your peace flow like a river, bringing healing to the broken-hearted and comfort to those who mourn. Restrain the hands of those who commit violence and reveal Jesus to both the oppressors and the oppressed, that they may see the light of Your truth. Strengthen the believers in Myanmar to stand firm in their faith, showing love and mercy even in the face of such trials. To You belong justice, mercy, and everlasting dominion through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
