• We pray for the creation of appropriate conditions at the state level for the work of large enterprises and companies, as well as medium and small businesses, which will contribute to the formation of a strong economy in the rear. We bless the leaders of the economic sector of our country, so that they are people guided by the interests of the state.

• We pray that Ukraine has effective resources to counter Russian propaganda and not only inside the country, but also outside it. For the exposure of information manipulation, for the strengthening of our positions in the information war.

• We pray for the strengthening of families, for the creation of new families. For the strengthening of the interfaith, as well as the public movement for the family.

🌻 What we thank God for:

• We thank God that even in foreign lands, Ukrainians pray for their Land, which they were forced to leave, gather together, and praise the Lord. For the fact that prayers for Ukraine are heard in all corners of the world.
• Ukrainian air defense and electronic warfare units intercepted and suppressed most of the 85 drones that the Russian aggressors launched over Ukraine.

• Pensioners registered as internally displaced persons were massively left without pensions in January due to the need to go through the procedure of confirming that they do not receive payments from the Russian authorities.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for God’s wisdom and guidance for representatives of the Ukrainian authorities in discussing issues about the further course of events. For the fulfillment of God’s will. For the end of this bloody war.

• Ukraine must again go through the ice crucible. The enemy is trying to use the cold as a weapon, hoping that frost will break our spirit where iron has failed. But they forget one truth: physical cold is powerless against spiritual fire. Therefore, we pray to God to calm these fierce frosts, to have mercy on us and send a change in the weather, to grant us warming.

• Our prayer is for energy workers, rescuers, utility workers and all those who work in the cold to bring life back to our cities. May God strengthen their hands and give them endurance when fatigue knocks them off their feet. May He protect them from accidents and enemy weapons. We ask God to grant them wisdom in making decisions, so that the equipment will work properly, and the damage will be repaired supernaturally quickly.

• We pray for legal and social protection and financial security for our military personnel. For providing them with benefits, free medical services and everything they need.

• We pray these days for an important event – ​​Ukrainian Week 2026, which will take place in Washington from February 2 to 7. This is an advocacy platform that today is the voice of truth about the terrible war against Ukraine. We pray for wisdom and help in preparation, for protection and defense over each delegate and each event, for financial provision and coverage of all bills, for open doors for the gospel and salvation of people for the glory of God.

“Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving.”

May a solid foundation be built for all state-building processes, which is God and His unchanging Word.

• Due to Russian attacks on the energy sector in Ukraine, risks to nuclear safety are increasing, as the attacks are depriving three operating nuclear power plants of a stable electricity supply. We pray for the cessation of these attacks, for reaching certain agreements on this matter, and for ensuring the constant availability and security of external electricity supply to critically important substations.

• We pray for the filling of the state budget and not shifting the main economic burden to the people. For the cessation of theft at all levels, illegal enrichment on the blood of people.

• We pray constantly for the military, for the preservation of their lives, the salvation of their souls, and their conversion to God.

• We also pray for the exposure of enemy tactics and methods of influencing people that the enemy uses in the information space. After all, there is also a constant 24-hour war and “combat” actions in this field. May everything secret become open.

• We pray that today’s events strengthen us. We pray for God’s favor, so that we can survive these difficult times. That we may be strengthened in faith, so that our hearts may be filled with trust in God, strength, and love.

It brought together representatives of the government, parliament, diplomatic corps, humanitarian sector, business, expert community and clergy – everyone involved in the restoration, development and international advocacy of Ukraine. In addition, this meeting became an important stage in shaping the content of future discussions that Ukraine will initiate in the United States in the near future.

After all, this weapon defeats the enemy in war, destroys his plans, and changes the atmosphere: from fear to faith, from despair to hope, from defeat to victory.

«This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.»

In the Epistle to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul noted the deep unity that unites the Church throughout the world. On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit initiated the mission of the Church to proclaim the Gospel to people all over the world, regardless of the ethnic, social or cultural boundaries that separate them.

May the Lord help them in this darkness to find Him and give Him their problems and pains, because He cares for everyone and answers everyone who calls on Him.

• Let us also pray for the wounded and crippled by war. May the Lord heal, may His love give hope. It is written in the Book of Psalms: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (147:3). May the hearts of people be filled with faith in the Lord.

• We pray for the spread of the prayer movement in Ukraine, that the Church will be at the forefront of this movement. That the prayer of intercession for our country will not be silent.

«Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me, “I am your salvation.”»

🛡 Prayer Shield of the Intercessors of Ukraine

❤️ What we thank God for:

• We thank God that despite such terrible enemy attacks we stand, recover and do not lose hope. We thank God that the Lord is our strength, our guide and our Protector.
• Damage to the thermal power plant in Kyiv is subject to more or less rapid repair, as it is not new for energy professionals.
• Training courses and seminars are being launched in Ukraine that prepare veterans for the role of opinion leaders, public figures and bloggers-communicators.
• Despite the war, losses and prolonged uncertainty, the majority of Ukrainians believe in the future of Ukraine: 64% of citizens are convinced that in 10 years Ukraine will be a prosperous country within the European Union.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 5 tanks, 8 armored combat vehicles, and 90 vehicles.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• The Russians have massively attacked Kyiv and Lviv. Iskanders damaged 36 houses in Kryvyi Rih. A hospital in Kherson was shelled.
• The remains of an Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile have been found, with which the Russian aggressors struck the Lviv region.
• A fake message is spreading online with a reference to Centrenergo that all electricity generation was stopped due to a massive strike on a thermal power plant.
• Half of the Russian armored vehicle manufacturers are not under sanctions and can operate without hindrance.
• Our military is repelling attacks in five directions.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We cover our country and people with our prayers. May God strengthen us where we have weakened, may His fire purify us. We pray that these trials will bring us closer to God, and not embitter us.

• We pray for opportunities to uncover the enemy’s tactics and prevent his actions. For opportunities to minimize destruction, the effectiveness of air defense. For the support of international allies in this confrontation.

• We pray for the wounded, psychologically traumatized after today’s massive attack. May God be a comfort and hope for everyone. May there be people nearby who will help and support.

• We also pray for the restoration of critical facilities, for the return of warmth and light to homes. For the consolidation of efforts at all levels. We pray for rescuers, repairmen, and medics who have to work in extremely difficult conditions. May God’s support be with each of them.

• We pray for the growth of our country’s GDP even against the backdrop of territorial losses, so that we can finance both the army to defend the country and our victory, and all social payments. For the optimization of our economy in such a way that the state budget grows. For the smooth operation of business and the creation of favorable conditions for this.

• We pray that the voice of praise to our God will grow stronger in Ukraine in the churches. That in the midst of threats and death we will glorify Christ, be established in His victory of life over death. After all, this weapon defeats the enemy in war, destroys his plans and changes the atmosphere.

«It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.»
