Burma

Please take a moment to pray for the people of Burma (Myanmar). They are in the midst of an atrocious military crackdown against peaceful protests led by Buddhist monks.
Right now it looks as if the worst of the violence is over, as the government has forced the monks back into their monasteries, supressing their speech for the time being.
Most nations had previously broken off ties with the country, so one of the few that can strongly influence them economically or politically is China, which has its own human rights problems.
I pray that this will turn out to be an overall success for the brutalized protesters; if the world hears their cries, they may yet have a chance at peace and freedom.
