• We thank God for the fact that the Ukrainian Church can represent the interests of our country at a high level. Thus, the delegation of the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations met with the King and Queen of Norway. During the audience, Ukrainian religious figures from the heart told Their Majesties about the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people and their defenders in the war for the freedom and independence of Ukraine. At the same time, all members of the delegation testified about the unity of the position of the religious community in the defense of Ukraine, about the wide humanitarian activity of churches and religious organizations, about their involvement in chaplaincy service.

🌻 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for His support and faithfulness. For the fulfillment of His will in our country. We thank Him for His answers that we have already received and will receive.
• The IAEA adopted a resolution demanding the immediate deoccupation of the Zaporizhzhia NPP. The document calls on Russia to immediately withdraw all unauthorized military and other personnel from the NPP.
• Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has managed to free more than seven thousand of its citizens from Russian captivity. In total, 68 exchanges have been carried out during this time.
• Ukraine has begun negotiations with the IMF on a new four-year program. This involves external financing of up to $170 billion.
• Ukraine has harvested more than 3.3 million tons of rapeseed. Thank God for our fertile land.

• Russia and Vietnam have created a secret scheme for supplying weapons.
• Russian designers have created a portable anti-aircraft missile system to counter Ukrainian drones, which is controlled using FPV piloting. In addition, Russia has probably developed a new system that is potentially capable of significantly increasing the range of fiber-optic FPV drones.
• Despite legislative restrictions, shops offering cannabis-containing products have recently begun to appear in Ukrainian cities. They actively advertise themselves on social networks, use printed materials, and distribute flyers, including among minors.

• We pray that fervent prayers of intercession for our land will not be silent in our churches, so that we will not weaken in our souls, but be strengthened in the Lord. We pray for unity in society and churches.

“Thus says the Lord: Keep justice and do righteousness, for my salvation is coming soon, and my righteousness will be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it, who keeps his hand from doing any evil!” (Isaiah 56:1, 2)

We pray that the Lord will strengthen and support our people in captivity, so that they do not weaken in spirit and hope, do not break down.

• We pray for our children who are growing up in conditions of war. According to an international survey, every third Ukrainian schoolchild studies in a state of fear and anxiety. We pray that children have support at home, at school, in kindergarten. For the opportunity to create safe conditions and an atmosphere of support and comfort for them.

• We also pray for the education sector, for its recognition at the state level as a priority even in times of war as one of the main factors for the survival of our country. For investments in the education sector, for an increase in the status and salary level of teachers.

• We pray that the priority for God’s people is not their own will and desire, but the submission of themselves to God. That they will not be conformed to this world, but be ready for the soon coming of our Lord. That they will act in His power and anointing, that they will fulfill the Great Commission of Christ.

«Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer. All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.»

😊 What we thank God for:

• The Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary celebrated the graduation of 308 students. This year’s graduation was one of the largest in the history of the seminary. Among the graduates are pastors, chaplains, leaders of youth and children’s ministries, ministers of praise, spiritual counselors, family counselors and practical psychologists. All of them received the knowledge and experience necessary for further service in churches and communities throughout Ukraine. We are grateful for such educational institutions in our country.

For an increase in the number of rehabilitation specialists, as well as an increase in various centers and departments that would help our people restore their functionality.

• We pray that the younger generation of Christians will actively serve and evangelize during the war, that God’s light will spread and ignite the hearts of their peers who do not yet know God. That they will be bold and zealous for Christ.

• We pray that the Body of Christ will be focused on Jesus, on the spread of the Gospel. So that the Church would not focus on the earthly, but would submit its plans and will to Christ.

«No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,»

🌞 What we thank God for:

• We thank God that in difficult conditions of war the voice of the Church does not subside, but sounds even louder in prayers, in the preaching of the Gospel, in charity. We thank God for the unity between the churches, because we all have one Lord, one spirit, common tasks from the Lord at this time.

• The US and the EU still do not have unity on the sanctions policy against the Russian Federation.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• In the coming days, some of the European leaders will arrive in Washington individually to hold negotiations on ways to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian war. We pray for the effectiveness of such meetings, we bless our allies. And we also pray for the development of a unified strategy to counter Russian evil.

• We pray for additional strengthening of our air defense, for a sufficient number of interceptor drones to effectively protect Ukrainian cities. After all, during massive Russian air attacks, the terrorist army uses several hundred strike drones. We also pray that the enemies will not be able to complicate the situation in the sky and overload the Ukrainian air defense system.

• We pray for increased investment in Ukrainian enterprises despite the war, for an increase in the number of investors. For large-scale investments in the restoration of infrastructure after the end of the war and economic growth.

• The number of Ukrainians forced to leave front-line territories is increasing in Ukraine. They mostly move within the country and mostly these are the most vulnerable categories of the population: the elderly, people with disabilities or limited mobility, as well as low-income families. We pray for a resolution of the issue of assistance for such people, their support with housing, the most necessary necessities for life.

• We prayed for a resolution of the issue of fines that the National Council imposed on the organization “All Together” for publications on the topics of family values ​​and criticism of LGBT ideology. The Ukrainian Interchurch Council appealed to the President of Ukraine and the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada with an appeal to intervene in the situation, believing that the actions of the National Council show signs of discrimination against Christian media. We pray that this appeal will be responded to appropriately, measures will be taken against the discriminatory decisions of the National Council, and freedom of speech, conscience, and religion in Ukraine will be protected.

🇺🇦 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for the unity of churches of different denominations in Ukraine in defending peace on our land and in the spiritual struggle against the forces of evil.
• Ukrainian troops liberated the village of Udachne in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region.
• Another group of Ukrainian children was returned to Ukraine from the occupied territories and from the territory of Russia. Among the rescued are a mother with two sons, who were deported to Russia and had their Ukrainian documents taken away. Also among the returned is a child with a disability.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 1 tank, 4 armored combat vehicles, and 88 units of automotive equipment.

⚠️ Threats remain:

• Enemies hit UAVs in the Chernihiv region. They hit Sumy again. They attacked Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region. They shelled the port infrastructure of Izmail in the Odessa region.
• In the first days of the school year, Russian soldiers attacked schools in the border area of ​​the Chernihiv region.
• Russian troops advanced in the Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions.
• The Russian president threatened Ukraine with attacks on energy facilities and called them “retaliatory strikes”.
• Russia wants to produce Su-57 fighters in India. In addition, Russia increased the discount on its oil for India, so India remains the largest importer of Russian oil.
• There was a leak of oil products into the Black Sea in Russia, the stain is moving towards the occupied Crimea.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for the liberation of our country from the occupiers. For an exit from this war. For the onset of the long-awaited peace.

• We pray for reaching agreements on security guarantees for Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky will soon visit Paris, where he will meet with European leaders on this issue. For the creation of a system of partnership commitments that should compensate for Ukraine’s lack of full membership in NATO.

• We pray for the economic stability of our country despite serious challenges and problems. For support from the promised external financing. Currently, the issue of financing Ukraine for 2026-2027 remains open, with only about a third of the required $65 billion having confirmed sources.

• We are increasingly hearing about new threats to Ukraine’s energy sector in the information field. There is a need to pray that the plans and criminal intentions of the enemies will not be realized. That Ukraine will stand firm, that people will have electricity in the cold season.

• We pray for the improvement of media literacy and the ability to think critically, which in the conditions of the flow of disinformation should become a priority for both the state and educational programs, because the country’s resilience to information threats depends on this. Experts emphasize: during the war, Russia actively uses information attacks. The vulnerability of Ukrainians to disinformation increases the risk of spreading panic, breaking trust in state institutions, and manipulating public opinion.

• We pray for the replenishment of the ranks of the army of intercessors. For Christians to deeply realize the need for this, because the harvest time has come, and it is very short.

«I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble. I cry to you, Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”»

• We pray for the stabilization of Ukraine’s economic indicators, for the receipt of funds to restore entire industries that have suffered as a result of the war. We pray for transparency in the use of funds, for the destruction of criminal schemes at various levels, for increased responsibility for corruption.

• We pray for those people who are in need, in depression, who have hopelessness and despair in their hearts, who cannot cope with their emotions, who have spiritual wounds. May the Lord help them in this darkness to find Him and give Him their problems and pain, because He cares for everyone.

• The voices of the intercessors in prayer are not silent within the framework of the Marathon of Fasting and Prayer. Because prayer is both our spiritual shield and offensive weapon. Therefore, we must always be clothed in God’s armor. Chernihiv region passed the baton to the Transcarpathian region. Thank God!
• Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated the village of Myrne near the city of Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region. Previously, from positions in this village, the Russians could control an important highway.
• Our defenders managed to stop the advance of the Russians in the Dobropillya area of ​​the Donetsk region.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 3 tanks, 23 armored combat vehicles, and 57 units of automotive equipment.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• Russia attacked Zaporizhia 400 times during the day. The occupiers carried out massive attacks on the Odessa region, in particular, Russian drones damaged the energy infrastructure of Chornomorsk and its surroundings.
• Russian air attacks on Ukraine may intensify in the coming weeks. Energy facilities will be under the threaten of strikes.
• The Russians did not let the IAEA access to the newly built dam near the Zaporizhia NPP.
• A civilian ship came across an explosive object off the coast of Odessa, resulting in an explosion.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• Let our prayers not weaken depending on external circumstances. As it says in Romans 12:11, 12: “Do not be lazy in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord, rejoice in hope, endure tribulations, be constant in prayer.” Let us continue to pray!

• We ask for God’s help in holding our positions, especially where the enemies are pressing and trying to break through. For God’s support for our defenders, for wisdom for the military leadership.

• We bless every Ukrainian soldier. May their souls be united with God, may they be invulnerable to the fiery arrows of the evil one.

• We pray for the beginning of the school year, so that every child in our country will have the opportunity to begin their studies and receive an education. We bless the teachers, may the Lord strengthen and help them in their work in these extremely difficult circumstances. We pray that education will remain one of the priority areas for the country.

• We pray for food security in our country, for the preservation of grain in granaries and its protection from the Russians. For the wise distribution of Ukrainian grain.

• We pray for our fellow believers throughout Ukraine, especially in the occupied territories. So that they may not be discouraged, but be strengthened in Christ. “The Lord will not forsake his people, for they are his chosen people.” (Psalm 94:14).

«Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.»
Micah 7:8 NIV

OUR PRAYER IS POWER.
LET US NOT BE SILENT!
