My prayer for Myanmar
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Watching the TV news I feel numbed at the devastation in Burma. My heart goes out to the thousands of people who have lost everything and whose military junta seems unprepared to handle the magnitude of this disaster. What can I as one person do from this distance? How can I help?
Prayer helps those in distress
During the night as I wrestle with the distressing visual images coming out of Rangoon, I realize that the best way I can help right now is to pray. I know that love-filled prayer is effective in bringing hope to desperate situations, comfort when sorrow is greatest, and advancement toward solutions. Distance is no obstacle to love-motivated, healing prayer. Such prayer can result in each person experiencing the love of God right where they are. Why? Because God cares for all of His children—each man, woman, and child is precious to Him.
