Ukraine is believed to have vast reserves of critical minerals like graphite, titanium and lithium. They are highly sought after because of their use in renewable energy, military technology and infrastructure.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said it showed both sides were committed to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine.

May all that takes place be brought by the power of God. I pray that President Trump takes everything he does to God in prayer for guidance. This is not because of the power of Trump, but because of God’s power. Trump is a vessel of God in leading our country. I pray that as time goes by, Trump will realize more and more that God put him in this position. I think he is realizing that more and more, especially after the first attempt on his life. Let us continue to pray for President Trump and our leaders. Let us also pray for the weapons fired at our country by those that are in leadership but against the good of our people. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Let us pray!

God we pray for wisdom. I don’t see how this is a good thing. Russia currently controls the areas with these resources so now we are fighting with them, too. Lord, just being a swift end to this war. I pray America will no longer support war.
