🌞 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for every moment of life, for our country, for the fact that the Lord supports us in these difficult trials. He is the only source of strength, faith and hope for the future.
• A “time capsule” was laid in the foundation of the new building of the Spiritual Center in one of the units of the National Guard in the Kyiv region. All those present, together with representatives of the church prayed so that people could come to God, know Him and receive spiritual and mental comfort in this Spiritual Center.
• The annual conference “Restoration for Ministry” was held in Kyiv for volunteers and chaplains. God’s servants are also exhausted, and if they are not restored, they will not be able to serve. So it was at the same time both training and exchange of experience and spiritual inspiration.
• The government did not change electricity tariffs for the population until October, 31 of this year.
• Ukraine will launch a new program to support displaced persons. The focus of the new government program is housing, services and entrepreneurship for IDPs and the preservation of their local identity.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 5 tanks, 14 units of armored combat vehicles, 140 units of automotive equipment.

⚠️ Threats remain:

• Ukraine is again on the verge of default.
• Russia will intensify checks on Ukrainian citizens regardless of their length of residence in Russia or level of integration.
• Russia plans to intensify deportation of Ukrainian children in 2025
• Due to massive Russian attacks this winter, Ukraine has lost almost 50% of its gas production.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray that Ukraine has its refuge in the mighty Name of Jesus. God is the cover and protector of our country, in whom we place our hope.
• We pray for the radical changes in our country, which it desperately needs. For the creation of new churches as one of the ways to counteract evil, for the emergence of leaders who would contribute to these positive changes in Ukraine.
• We pray for our soldiers, for every precious soul for whom Jesus paid the price with His blood. That they would accept the gift of salvation, that they would come under God’s protection.
• We pray for the country’s leaders, regional heads, so that their efforts are directed at finding a way out of critical situations, at how to help people.

‼️ In addition to other threats, the threat of default again looms over Ukraine. It became known that Ukraine was unable to reach an agreement with creditors and must pay approximately $600 million in May. The Ministry of Finance offered investors to restructure the debt in the amount of $3.2 billion, but so far the negotiations have not been successful. There is a need to pray for a compromise option to be agreed with investors, for which there is still at least a month.

• We pray that churches in Ukraine will be filled, that testimonies about the power of God’s Word and prayer will sound. May the Lord turn what the enemy of human souls uses in our country for evil for good, and a spiritual awakening will take place in Ukraine.

• The wonderful liberation of our defenders! Ukrainian reconnaissance drone operators discovered a group of Russian occupiers who had captured three Ukrainian soldiers. Coordinated actions and precise drops of Ukrainian drones forced the enemy to flee and leave the prisoners. Then, with the help of drones, our fighters were able to be led to safe positions.

• The occupiers are accumulating reserves near Belovody in the Sumy region and continue to put pressure on our positions. They captured the village of Nadiivka, located in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region.

• We pray for the success of Ukraine’s active cooperation with international partners in order to achieve peace. That negotiations at various levels will not be based on the priority and overestimation of Russia and the underestimation of Ukraine. That this and other misconceptions will not become the main ones in making fateful decisions.
• We pray for the formation of a strong Ukrainian army, for its technological equipment in accordance with international standards, as well as for a high level of qualification of the military.
• We pray that under the cover of war in our country, various perverted ideas that contradict our national mentality and Christian values are not spread. That those forces that are trying to introduce various abominations into our public life are deprived of influence, that the doors of opportunity are closed for them.
• We pray for our brothers and sisters in the occupied territories. In particular, there is information that in the occupied Kherson region, Russian security forces have begun repressions against Ukrainian priests due to the alleged “insufficient support” of the Russian army. We pray for God’s protection for them, for steadfastness and loyalty to God.
• The war has destroyed many destinies, wounded and broken hearts. Let us pray for these people, that God’s love may free them from pain and tragic memories, that it may heal and fill them with meaning to live on. May the Lord send His messengers to them, who would bring them Good News, help them to be filled with His Word and His Spirit.

🌻 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for His Word which sustains us in the most difficult circumstances and gives us hope. “…they will look to the earth, and behold, sorrow and gloom and thick darkness. But the gloom and darkness will disperse. And there will be no more darkness in the land of sorrow.” (Isaiah 8:22, 23)

• Britain has imposed a new package of sanctions against Russia which includes a ban on the import of video game controllers used to control drones.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 3 tanks, 5 armored combat vehicles, and 134 units of automotive equipment.

🔥 Threats remain:

• Russian aggressors launched 70 missiles and 145 drones of various types over Ukraine. In particular, they launched Caliber cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and shaheeds over the capital. They struck Poltava, Dnipro, and Kharkiv. They shelled Khmelnytskyi and attacked Pavlograd, Dnipropetrovsk region.
• Russian troops are using Iskander ballistic missiles and North Korean cluster warheads over Ukraine, which is leading to mass civilian casualties.
• Ukraine is forecasting the lowest wheat harvest in 13 years. The reason for the decrease in yield is the extremely dry land during the sowing period and the low profitability of production, which led to a reduction in the sown area.
• According to the World Bank forecast, economic growth in Ukraine will be slow for two years. The economy will accelerate only in 2026, provided that the war ends.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• 💔 Tomorrow in Kyiv was declared a Day of Mourning for the victims of the Russian attack. New deaths, many wounded, numerous destructions… It is very painful to see all this, to experience it, to be a living witness of tragedies. We pray for those people who are injured, who have lost their relatives and friends. May the Lord help us all get through these difficult trials.
• We pray for the rescuers, who are almost the first to arrive at the scene of the tragedy. Who, in addition to heavy physical exertion, are faced with pain, death, and suffering. And this is additional psychological pressure. May they be strengthened by God, may their souls be warmed by His love.
• We pray for the war to stop, for the bloodshed to stop in Ukraine. May those who seek to continue this slaughter be deprived of strength. Among other things, with each year of the war in Ukraine, the demographic situation worsens. Low birth rates and high mortality are causing new demographic losses to our country. Scientists note that the longer the war continues, the greater these losses will become, and forced Ukrainian migrants will postpone the moment of returning home.

• A decree of the russian president has been published on the obligation for Ukrainian citizens in the occupied territories to either “regulate their legal status” or leave by September 10, 2025.

In the absence of rain, the situation will only worsen, and the water level will continue to decrease. So let us pray for rain and the replenishment of water resources in Ukraine.
• Let us not forget that our country is a place of spiritual battle and confrontation. Tensions in the world are growing. But the Bible says that this should happen in the last times. So let us pray that these events will not frighten us but, on the contrary, strengthen us, so that we will be able to take responsibility at such a time and encourage people by telling them about Christ.

«“This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ’»
