Intercessor, yesterday was the third anniversary of the start of the deadly war in Ukraine. However, it was also the very first Ukrainian National Day of Prayer, marking what was, for many, a dark day with hope for the future.

Earlier this month, Ukraine voted to officially become the second nation in the world with a National Day of Prayer. They voted to institute this day on February 24, the same day that Russian tanks rolled across the border in 2022.

Yesterday, Ukrainians celebrated their first national day of prayer, hosting worship and prayer events in churches around the country. Most notably, the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament, honored the day by beginning its session with the song Bozhe velykyi, yedynyi, which roughly translates to Lord, of the Great and Almighty in English.

We received a video of this song ringing out through the halls of parliament from our friends in Ukraine. You can watch it below:

It is important to remember that this National Day of Prayer was accompanied by a prophecy. As we reported earlier this month, Cindy Jacobs of Generals International prophesied that Ukraine would only see the war end after instituting a National Day of Prayer. IFA President/CEO David Kubal helped to realize this prophecy, traveling to Ukraine late last year alongside Congressman Tony Hall and U.S. NDOP Chairman Geoff Ekart to introduce the concept of a National Day of Prayer to Ukrainian lawmakers.

Meanwhile, yesterday, the same day Ukrainians celebrated their National Day of Prayer, President Trump met with French President Macron to discuss an end to this war. With Jacobs’ prophecy in mind, we may very well see this war end well before next year’s celebration.
