Myanmar Prayer Guide

In our busy world full of schedules, notifications and quick bites of information, it’s too easy to forget things. I don’t know about you, but I find myself continuously setting digital notifications and adding to my to-do lists to help me remember daily tasks.

And I find myself wanting to incorporate prayer into my daily to-dos, but sometimes I forget that, too. That’s why we had the idea of doing a Week of Prayer for Myanmar a few weeks ago, with daily reminders on our social media channels (Instagram and Facebook). We were able to interview some Firefall supporters with connections to Myanmar to learn more about what they’re praying for Myanmar and why.

We hope you also find connection, prayer inspiration and hope in these words offered up for a nation in crisis.

Maybe you want to work through some prayers while you’re exercising or doing your morning devotional. Maybe you want to make your own week of prayer for Myanmar and work through each card below. Be flexible as the Lord leads you.

Prayers for Myanmar

This supporter’s connection to Myanmar:
“My history with Myanmar began through prayer updates through Nancy and Jim about the country, then meeting Pastor David from Myanmar at the Firefall 25th anniversary celebration in Arkansas. Since then, I had the opportunity to travel with Firefall to Myanmar, witness the House of Glory ministry and personally grow from it, as well as coach with Pastor David and his wife.”

Prayer for Myanmar:
“I am praying for protection and strength for the people of Myanmar as a whole, as well as Pastor David and his flock. Prayers are also offered that God will use this crisis and chaos to open hearts and doors for Him as Pastor David and their church reach out to many.”

Prayer for Freedom & Safety

Connection to Myanmar:
“I've been to Myanmar six times. I met Nancy through a friend and we started an adventure in this beautiful place. I helped with the Firefall soccer tournaments. Spending the time with the guys, sharing our testimonies and training the kids. I also brought with me several guys from Spain to serve, and each trip changed each of our lives. Myanmar is my second home, and Pastor David and his church are my second family.”

Prayer for Myanmar:
“We are praying for freedom in this country. God has a plan in Myanmar, and it will happen. We pray for safety for our brothers and sisters.”

Prayer for New Christians

Connection to Myanmar:
“I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Myanmar in 2011 with Nancy and several others from Arkansas who had a heart for the country and its people. Especially the children.”

Prayer for Myanmar:
“I know how hard Firefall, Pastor David and others have worked to bring Jesus to as many people as possible in Myanmar. Those who have been saved live in danger, especially since the military has reestablished control. I pray that these new Christians will be comforted and that they will be brave and courageous as they face their daily lives. I pray especially for Pastor David if he’s in the line of danger. I pray that there will be enough food for nourishment and medical supplies for those in need. I pray that all will be fed and encouraged by the Word and that even more will be saved by its promises.”

Prayer for Churches

Connection to Myanmar:
“I remember being up one night in 2006 praying for the nations when God highlighted Myanmar to me on a map. I began to pray for this loved country nearly every night during that season. The Lord led me to places of intercession for souls, praying that He would open up a wide door for His Word to go forth. In the last two years, I was able to meet Pastor David and the fire for Myanmar was rekindled.”

Prayer for Myanmar:
“Now I am praying the same, that those believers who are arrested would be able to reach the hardest hearts in prison. I am asking for hearts to receive Jesus as the one true God and that their hearts would be set ablaze for him.

I pray that the churches would be like a greenhouse flourishing and bearing fruit in the most unlikely conditions. Joy unspeakable and full of glory! Peace unshakable.”

Ps. 16:8-11

Prayer for Rescue

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Prayer for Myanmar:

“Lord, rescue the people of Myanmar from the hand of tyranny - that they may go forth in freedom both physically and spiritually.”

Thank you

Thank you for your prayers and for standing with these believers and this nation during this difficult time.

New Beginnings for 2019

January, for most of us, is a time of new beginnings.

Maybe for you it’s a time of reflection and reorientation. It can be a time to take stock of our journey and make some course corrections. It’s a good time to drop extra baggage, embrace new hopes, and set a new direction.

In consecrating myself anew to God’s guidance and provision, every year I go back to a prayer of the great revivalist, John Wesley, who was used by God to change the course of human history. Even this great man of God began each year by giving everything back to God.

I pray that you are blessed, renewed and released into the purpose of God as you pray this prayer.

John Wesley’s Prayer of Consecration

circa 1780

Let me be Your servant, under Your command. I will no longer be my own. I will give up myself to Your will in all things.

Lord, make me what You will. I put myself fully into Your hands; put me to doing, put me to suffering, let me be employed for You or laid aside for You, let me be full, let me be empty, let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and with a willing heart give it all to Your pleasure and disposal. I do here covenant with You, O Christ, to make my lot with You as it may fall. Through Your grace I promise that neither life nor death will part me from You.

I make this covenant with You, O God, without guile or reservation. If any falsehood should be in it, guide me and help me to set it right. Mighty God, let this covenant I have made on earth be ratified in heaven, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen

I'm on the Prayer Team with You

When Nancy and I (Jim) travel to the nations, we always ask for your prayer support. I vividly remember times facing critical situations. There were times when we saw miracles of provision, or direction, or protection from the schemes of the enemy. In those times, we stopped to thank the Father for the miracle, but we also thanked Him for praying partners, knowing that the miracles were answers to your prayers.

I’m With You

This time I’m with you. I will be at home, working at my job, going through the routines of life, and praying for Nancy and our Firefall partners half a world away. I know how important it is to be on the prayer team!

Praying Daily

It is a great blessing to know that many of you follow the ministry itinerary day-by-day, praying specifically, praying fervently, and praying in faith that Jesus will be glorified. I join with you responding to the plea of Jesus, “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:38

On the Winning Team

Together, we can transform nations through the power of prayer as we partner with Nancy, the group from Spain, and our Firefall team in Myanmar. You are just as much a part of this ministry team as they are. You are the unseen warriors in the battle to rescue souls from eternal darkness.

Thank you for going on this trip in prayer. We share together in Jesus’ finished work. He defeated death, rose in victory and reigns forever!
