Prayer for peaceful resolution in Myanmar
PostPosted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:29 pm
For those who don't know what's going on in Burma/Myanmar, the government has been/is currently ruled by the military group called junta. The pro-democracy/opposition group has been held down by force for more than a decade.
Early this week, Buddhist monks + civilians started peaceful demonstrations but things have gotten ugly since Thursday where some people have already been killed. I'm sure many more have been beaten up and are greatly in pain although it's difficult to verify the figures due to the cover-up (e.g. Internet cut off, journalist barrier). I'm deeply troubled that my fellow South East Asians are suffering in this way.
Nothing political here in this prayer request, pls just pray that I hope international powers persuade the junta forces to hold back on using violence and to have a kinder heart towards their own fellow citizens. May God allow a peaceful resolution.
