We give you thanks and praise that you have heard our prayers and are working even as we continue to pray and to respond with the gifts that we have to the great need in Myanmar and in China. Thank you for opening doorways that are otherwise sealed tight. Thank you for changing hearts and healing hurts and reuniting families and healing a broken nation. The years of suffering, the years of destruction, the years of brokenness, you are restoring as only you can. Glory and Honor and Praise to YOU, Lord God! Amen. Awesome God!

Have mercy and give hope and courage to the people of Myanmar and China in the wake of the devastations which have hit their countries. Send aid and give comfort to those who mourn, those who are hurt in ways we cannot even understand...but You do! Give fortitude to the relief workers and open the hearts of the leaders in Myanar to accept aid for their people. Open the hearts of your children all over the world to call to you in prayer daily and to share generously in all the ways we can to help alleviate the suffering. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

For never being able to see beyond our own desires. For talking about our "needs" when really we're speaking of our "wants." For arguing about what does not matter and forgetting about what does. Lord, forgive us for missing the point, and help us to join You in what You are doing in the world. Dear Lord, forgive us:

Anne Rex Tue, 13 May 2008 16:01:20 +0000 http://blogs.gbod.org/myanmar/2008/05/07/3/#comment-19 I cannot imagine the fear. I cannot imagine the pain. I cannot imagine the sounds of emptiness and the cries of those in need. I sit and am filled with grief for those I do not know, yet am connected to. What do I know? That today, God's tears are still falling and God's arms are outstretched. I know these are easy words from my comfortable, safe home. My prayer is that these brothers and sisters of mine will know by the power of the Holy Spirit that we are connected and that I and others grieve with and for them. And that those of us in safety will respond as the hands and feet of Jesus because we follow Jesus' words to love others as we love ourselves. And finally, that God's tears will wash and refreash them and God's arms will lift them from the rubble and hold them through the pain. I cannot imagine the fear. I cannot imagine the pain.
