Thank You for revealing Yourself to us through Your creation, Your Word, Your Son, Your Spirit, Your Truth, and through the wisdom and devotion of Your people.
You are Holy, O Thou that inhabit the praises of Your people. Psalm 22:3
“It is impossible to govern the world without God. It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits and humbly implore His protection and favor.” ~ President George Washington
Operation World Pray for Ukraine : Ukraine’s location as a gateway between East and West has always left it in a vulnerable position. The Russian invasion of 2022, Russian support of the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, the occupation of the Crimea and the Euromaidan of 2014, and the Orange Revolution of 2004-5 all demonstrate Russia’s determination to dominate Ukraine. They also equally demonstrate Ukraine’s determination to be free. Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced, and hundreds of thousands have been killed. Whenever the conflict ends – and on whatever terms it ends – rebuilding from the devastation will take years, or even decades. Even more complicated will be the healing of trauma experienced and, hopefully, an eventual reconciliation with its neighbour. Pray for the intervention of the God who makes wars cease to the ends of the earth and who breaks the bow and shatters the spear (Psa 46:9). Pray Psalm 10:17-18 over Ukraine – that the Lord would hear the desire of the afflicted, encourage them, and listen to their cries. Pray for wisdom from above, and divine fortitude for Ukraine’s leaders and its people.
The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. Psalm 121:5 (ESV)
