Sunday 21 June

In December 2025, Myanmar/Burma began its first general elections since its military junta seized power in February 2021. Of course, these elections were neither free nor fair and instead consolidated military control. Pray for change that brings true democratic governance.

Monday 22 June

The military continues to intentionally target religious leaders, religious communities, and sacred sites with airstrikes and scorched-earth tactics. Use Psalm 46 to guide your prayers today. We trust in a God who can end wars, and is our ever-present help in times of trouble.

Tuesday 23 June

The Chin and Kachin people have endured a campaign of violence by Myanmar’s ruling military junta for the past six decades. The Chin Human Rights Organization described it as ‘deliberate, systematic, and widespread’. Stand in solidarity with them today, praying for success in their quest for accountability.

Wednesday 24 June

Around the world, cases are being brought to courts against the military junta for grave human rights violations. Pray for justice to prevail – rolling through Myanmar like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream (Amos 5:24).

Thursday 25 June

Read Psalm 34 and ask the Lord to be ‘close to the brokenhearted’ – especially those who have been displaced due to violence, and those whose loved ones have been killed or imprisoned since the coup. May the authorities ‘turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it’.

Friday 26 June

Please uphold in prayer CSW’s Myanmar Research and Advocacy officer, who cannot be named publicly. May they not grow weary, but ask God to guide and protect them and renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31).

Saturday 27 June

As 1 Chronicles 29:11 reminds us: ‘Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.’ Now may your kingdom come in Myanmar, bringing deliverance and justice to the oppressed. Amen.
