Ecumenical Peace Prayer for Myanmar

Our most Compassionate and Merciful Lord,

we give thanks to you for all the good things

we enjoy in life.

All we are and all we have,

we owe to you.

 

At the same time, teach us

to remain faithful and thankful to you

in difficult times also.

Our life is all about giving

thanks to you and praising your Holy Name

no matter what situation we find ourselves in.

 

We kneel before you in this time of suffering.

Crises and conflicts in many countries

determine our lives –

so many lives have perished,

so many families have become displaced,

so many children have become orphans,

so many dreams have been shattered,

so many people are discouraged.

 

Oh Lord,

listen to our prayers,

lessen our burdens, ease people‘s pain.

Protect them from all dangers.

Provide them with the things they need.

 

The people of Myanmar are devastated,

but not destroyed, because of your protection.

 

Prince of Peace,

have mercy on them and heal their land.

Grant them a political leadership

that truly loves the country and the people.

 

Gracious and Holy God,

restore peace and justice in Myanmar.

 

Please do not leave the defenceless at the mercy of evil men – do not let their plans succeed.

 

Strengthen us all in faith,

renew us in hope, and restore us in Love.

 

We entrust Myanmar and all crisis regions

to your loving care

 

Amen!
