Let's Pray

We have heard the news, we have seen the images.
How can our hearts not be moved, how can we stay silent?

Let's pray for God to move among the grieving parents, the orphans, and homelessness
that they will find comfort and hope and strength

Let's pray that God will soften the hearts of the leaders and give them wisdom
that they will do what is right

Let's pray for God's protection over the workers
that they will have the strength and perseverance

Let's pray against those who are evil
that they will not steal, rob or murder amidst the crisis

Let's not be bothered by what the media is telling us.
The news may be wrong, the images may be misleading.
It doesn't matter whether it's Burma or China.
We know God's children are suffering.
He hears their cries and their pleas.

Let's listen to His heartbeat for the suffering.
Let's feel the pain of the suffering.
And pray. Pray like we have not done before.
For miracles to happen. For hope to carry on. For doors to be opened.

Remember the faces of those whom you are praying for.
