Please pray for Burma.
You've probably already contributed to the disaster relief funds, so this is something else you can do.
The authorities in Burma have impounded the UN aid planes, and say they need no help to recover from the cyclone. Estimated death toll 100,000 so far.
They are refusing visas to foreign aid workers and negotiations with the UN have stalled.
Disease and starvation are getting a grip - and imagine how the bodies are polluting the flood waters - and when the national aid arrives no one can cook the rice and beans because they have no cooking utensils. They have nothing.
Pray for wisdom for the leaders, for the negotiators trying to get them to change their minds, pray that they value the lives of their people over personal power. Pray for the aid workers, that these brave people willing and able to be there and help the people who have had no food, medical aid or shelter since last Saturday are able to get there and bring relief.
God bless.
