11. Than you might have been better served by "think of Nepal"

or something like that. A certain number of DUers may find the exhortation to pray offensive, and out of deference to them, maybe you'd be better served by saying "Think of Nepal" or "Remember Nepal" so as not to instigate an issue.

I personally will keep Nepal and the situation there in my prayers, but general discussion is for everybody.
