Many Christians are recently concerned about the China Eastern Airlines MU5735 crash, praying for the victims and their families.
On March 21, the flight carrying 123 passengers and nine crew members crashed in Wuzhou City, China’s southern Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Besides compensation work, search and rescue efforts were conducted immediately after the crash.
If no survivors could be found at the crash site or surrounding areas, this means that it is the largest air disaster in China so far this century.
The crash of flight MU5735 ended the country’s civil aviation safety record of 4227 days or 100 million hours.
The last plane crash in China's civil aviation industry took place in Yichun of Jiangxi Province on August 24, 2010, 11 and a half years ago. The Monday’s plane crash has aroused much attention among Christians who pray for the victims and their families.
We list out some prayers as below:
"May God give mercy and protection to the families of the passengers and crew in the flight from Kunming to Guangzhou."
"I plead that God would be gracious to the people on the plane, as well as their family and friends who care about them. Hearing the plane crashed, I immediately put down my work and find a quiet place to pray."
"Let me pray for families of the 132 victims to have peace from above."
"Theologian John Calvin once said, ‘God reduces our excessive love for this world through adversity, making us meditate on eternity with the correct judgment of the fleeting and unsatisfactory present.’"
"I don’t know about tomorrow. But I know who holds tomorrow and who holds my hand."
"Why does the Bible say ‘each day has enough trouble of its own’? Accidents can happen at any time. When we escape the plague, we may encounter an earthquake. If we escape a car accident, then an air crash. Therefore, every day, we are blessed to live with peace and health. ...Pray for the 132 souls who perished."
"For believers, they pray for peace in Ukraine, for the domestic epidemic, and now they are praying for the plane crash. These are painful things, just like the recent weather, shrouded in gloom."

3月21日，东方航空一架波音737-800NG型飞机在执行昆明—广州航班飞行任务时，于广西梧州境内失联，航班号为MU5735。现已确认，该飞机失事坠毁。机上人员共计132人，其中乘客123人，机组人员9人。目前，后续搜救处置以及赔偿工作正在展开。
截至目前，尚未在坠机现场以及周边区域发现任何可能的人员生还迹象，这表明——这132人很可能已经全部遇难。如果搜救和调查结果果真如此的话，意味着这是迄今为止本世纪中国境内最大的空难。
在此之前，中国民航已经保持了连续4227天，高达一亿小时的安全飞行记录。然而这所有的一切，在3月21日下午画上了句号。上一次中国民航界的坠机事故，是发生在2010年8月24日的伊春空难，到现在已经11年半了。东航MU5735空难为伊春坠机事故后时隔多年的再一次空难，引发了人们的众多关注。这其中，也有许多基督徒关注东航MU5735空难并为受难者以及家人祷告。
“昆明飞广州的航班坠毁，愿主怜悯、保守乘客和机组人员的家人。”
“东航MU5735（坠毁），立刻放下手中工作，找到安静地方祷告。愿主恩待飞机上的人们，以及为他们所挂心的家人和朋友祈祷。主必垂听我们的呼求。”
“我们每一天都需要他所赐的平安，愿主怜悯和安慰132位受难者的家人，愿人人都能够拥有这份从上头来的平安。”
“默想永世。神学家加尔文曾说：神借患难减少我们对今世过度的爱，对转瞬即逝、不能满足我们之今世正确的判断，使我们默想永世。”
“有许多未来的事情，我现在不能识透。但我知谁掌管明天，我也知谁牵我手。”
“为什么说一天的难处一天当就够了？因为每一天都可能有意外，躲过了瘟疫，遇到了地震。避开了车祸，遇到了空难。所以，每一天平安健康的活着，皆是恩典……为132个遇难的灵魂祈祷。”
“在教友们的代祷中，有为俄乌和平祈祷，有为国内疫情祈祷，昨天又增加了为（MU5735）飞机失事祈祷，这些都是令人痛苦的事情，就像近日的天气一样，我们被阴冷黯淡所笼罩。
