This night, the Russian aggressors launched over 450 strike drones and 45 missiles of various types over Ukraine. Energy and gas infrastructure facilities in several regions were hit.

Young people seek not just to know about God, but to experience Him in their personal lives, the report says.

• We support our warriors in our prayers. May the Lord be with each of them, may there be more of those who seek His face, who feel an urgent need for Him, who will receive salvation.

🇺🇦 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for the constant dialogue of the Church of Ukraine with representatives of the authorities. Thus, a meeting of the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations with the Head of the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience took place. They discussed current issues of state-confessional relations, legislative initiatives and the implementation of state decisions in the field of freedom of conscience. There was also an exchange of views on organizing prayer events within the framework of the National Day of Prayer, which will be celebrated on February 24.
• More than 60 Nobel Prize laureates openly admit that the existence of the Creator is not a fiction, but a logical conclusion from scientific facts.

• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 6 units of armored combat vehicles, 84 units of automotive equipment.

• Four authoritarian states – China, Russia, Iran and North Korea – are acting in concert to suppress religious freedom in the world. This is stated in a new report by the McCain Institute at Arizona State University. As intercessors, we pray for the development of a countermeasure in the world to this trend. On integrating religious freedom into all aspects of foreign policy, expanding sanctions against regimes and leaders who violate freedom of conscience. On supporting civil society and religious minorities in authoritarian countries. On countering disinformation and propaganda that justify the persecution of believers.

• We pray for our soldiers. May the Lord strengthen them in spirit, soul and body, may they rely on God and His protection. After all, salvation is only in Christ.

• Our prayers do not go unanswered. We always pray for those who are in captivity, we pray for their release. And since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukraine has returned more than 7 thousand citizens from Russian captivity. We continue to pray with faith for those who await their freedom from Russian captivity.

• We pray for prudence and balance in Ukraine in resolving the pressing issues that are currently before us. For avoiding unnecessary radicalism, in particular, in the language issue, which only divides society. For focusing attention in both state policy and the media space on what serves unification and mutual understanding.

• For the tenth day now, the Zaporizhzhia NPP has been powered by diesel generators, and there is still a week and a half of fuel left for them. So the threat of radiation contamination looms again. We pray for maximum efforts to be made, including by the international community, to prevent a nuclear accident. We pray for the restoration of power supply to the station. And also for the Russians not to be able to disconnect the station from the Ukrainian energy system and connect it to their network.

• We pray for the strong spiritual leaders of Ukraine. So that their voice is influential and authoritative for both our society and the leaders of our country.

«constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength],»
