Shan Dai Advocacy

Zechariah

God values right relationships. Reflect on how you live out your faith in God in comparison to what Zechariah was told. “This is what the LORD Almighty says: Judge fairly and honestly, and show mercy and kindness to one another. Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners, and poor people. And do not make evil plans to harm each other” (Zechariah 7:9-10). Sadly, even after generations of godly teaching, we can still miss God’s point. Father, we ask for Your forgiveness when we fall short of Your way for our lives. God, we pray we would get back on track with You. Out of gratitude to You, we pray today for a variety of Christian ministries that prove a new community for many orphans and Shan aliens that now live in Northern Thailand. May Your mercy and compassion continue to extend to these children and young adults, many who have lost parents while fighting continues in Myanmar. Although few outside of Asia know of the daily violence and the heartbreaking situation in Myanmar, You God, know all things and we ask for Your true justice. We pray for the strength to overcome the desire to repay evil for evil in our own lives and in the lives of those affected by war. Lord, as You change individuals with Your love and Your truth, whole communities can have hope. Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace. May we show honesty, mercy and kindness to one another. Let Your peace reign in us and through everyone that has interaction with camps for the displaced and orphans.
