As part of our Myanmar Red Ribbon Solidarity Weekend from April 28-May 2, we invited Baptists worldwide to post a photo on social media wearing a red ribbon. Many responded, but there is still much to be done. Now is a critical time to stand with the millions in Myanmar who are sacrificially pressing for human rights and transformative peace. Visit Baptistworld.org/stand-with-myanmar to join the initiative and receive resources to inspire and equip action in your churches and communities.
Be Our Mercy

O God, that we may receive your blessing,
touch our brows, touch our heads,
and do not look upon us in anger.
In a hard year be our mercy;
in a year of affliction, be our kindness;
dark spirits banish from us;
bright spirits bring close to us;
grey spirits put away from us;
good spirits draw near to us.
When I am afraid, be my courage;
when I am ashamed, be my true face;
be thou over me like a blanket,
be thou under me like a bed of furs.
