Father you have told us many times in your Word to be strong and courageous. May we not shudder at the shakings in the world we are in, but may we instead focus on your steady hand on our nation and our world.

Editorial note: With many shifts in the geopolitical landscape lately, it is easy to fear uncertainty and potential threats. As we view these as men of Issachar, we must understand that the world teeters in man’s control but that God is solidly working behind the scenes, partnering with the Church to move in ways that bring deliverance and opportunities to discover His great nature. We must not fear but instead, see this intel provided in news stories as points of prayer for our nation and world. Be strong and courageous!

Admiral Rob Bauer, Chair of NATO’s Military Committee, has warned about the resurgence of European conflict. During his address at the Berlin Security Conference, Bauer highlighted the necessity for businesses in both Europe and the United States to brace for wartime-like conditions. He underscored the critical impact that commercial decisions can have on national security.

“Business leaders in Europe and America need to realize that the commercial decisions they make have strategic consequences for the security of their nation,” Admiral Bauer said, adding, “Businesses need to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly.”

He ominously warned: “Ladies and Gentlemen, war is back on the European continent. And over the past years, more and more people in Europe realize that war can happen to them too… again.”

Admiral Rob Bauer highlighted that significant civilian participation would be necessary in the event of a large-scale conflict, such as a hypothetical World War III. Governments would need to create systems to mobilize and manage civilian resources efficiently.

Bauer suggested a shift in mindset from predictable and controlled operations to being adaptable to unpredictability. He stressed the importance of maintaining an industrial base capable of quickly producing weapons and ammunition to sustain a conflict if needed.

Earlier this year, Bauer mentioned the possibility of conscription if NATO were to engage in extensive hostilities with Russia. For example, Finland, which shares a long border with Russia, has developed a network of bomb shelters for emergencies.

Recently, the Biden-Harris administration in the U.S. has approved a series of escalations by Ukraine against Russia, raising concerns that a misstep could lead to a broader and more severe conflict.

How can we pray about the increasing tensions in Europe and Russia? Share your insights and discerning prayer points below!

First of all, Bauer is probably woke as he is part of NATO. So, I’ll ignore him and pray what the Lord says. There will be a time when delay is over from God’s perspective. Praying for peace is not always prudent.

Father, may we look to you and not walk in fear. I pray that you would bring peace and still conflict. We look to you and know that you are our source and the only one who can inspire peace. Draw many to you through this shaking of our world.

It is the almost certain conflict with China which is projected to happen in 2027 with which we need to be concerned.

Russia is a much smaller and weaker partner in the China, Russia, North Korea and Iran conflict.
