That Ukraine will have space and opportunities for its own development: for the creation of modern technologies, the development of science, innovation and production, for high-quality and accessible education, which gives our children and youth the opportunity not to seek their future abroad, but to build it here, in their own country.

• We pray for wisdom for those who make decisions about the future of Ukraine, so that the center of these decisions will be the long-term good of the country and its people. We pray that, opening up to the world and cooperating with other states and peoples, Ukraine will not lose its own voice, dignity and right to independently determine its future.

•  In prayer, we bless our defenders – every soldier, commander, military leadership. As well as people who are engaged in providing the front. May the Lord strengthen and support.

• We pray for the continuation and spread of the prayer tradition in Ukraine – in our families, communities, churches, educational institutions and among young people. So that prayer becomes not only a request in times of trials, but a constant spiritual dialogue with God, a space for gratitude, repentance, reflection and search for God’s will.

“This 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 this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:9-13)

Let us strengthen our hearts in faith! Let us pray every day!

• We pray for the restoration and strengthening of the Ukrainian economy, for the arrival of new investments in the country, and for the opening of opportunities for business development. May Ukraine remain a place where people can work, create, invest, and build their future. We pray that the Lord will give Ukrainians the strength not to lose hope. May the recovery of the economy become part of the recovery of the entire country – its cities, communities, families, and human lives.

• We pray for the mental health of Ukrainians. For all who live in conditions of constant stress, anxiety, shelling, loss, and uncertainty. We ask the Lord to support those who have become exhausted, lost their sense of security, experienced traumatic experiences, or struggle daily with the consequences of war.

• Above all, we pray that amidst anxiety and fear, Ukrainians will find true peace in Christ. May He sustain those whose strength is running out, heal wounded hearts, restore hope, and remind us that even in the darkest times we are not left alone.

• Pray for the wisdom of church leaders.

That they may speak the truth in difficult social and moral issues, support people, and help maintain the unity of society.

«Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.»

😊 What we thank God for:

• The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations appealed to the state, the international community and religious communities with an appeal not to stop the search for Ukrainians whose fate remains unknown due to Russian aggression. The spiritual leaders addressed separate words of support to families who have been living without news of their loved ones since 2014. The Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations pray for the return of the living, protection of people in captivity, return of the bodies of the deceased, strength for their loved ones and wisdom for those responsible for the search. For before the Almighty Creator, no one is missing. Everyone is known and has a name, worthy of love, memory and return.
• Three more young people returned from the territories occupied by Russia to Ukraine.
• The Armed Forces of Ukraine have expanded the control zone near Kupyansk.
• Ukrainian agricultural producers from nine front-line regions will soon be able to use special polymer sleeves for temporary grain storage free of charge. This step will make it possible to protect the 2026 harvest in conditions of an acute shortage of storage facilities.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 5 tanks, 7 armored combat vehicles, and 467 units of automotive equipment.

⚠️ Threats remain:

• The Russians have again attacked Kyiv and the region. They attacked Zaporizhzhia with drones. They hit Sloviansk with an aerial bomb. A Russian drone destroyed a key sorting line of the innovative Nova Post terminal in Odessa – modern European-standard equipment cannot be restored.

• Britain, the USA, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany have urged their citizens not to travel to Ukraine due to the Russian strikes.

🙏 Prayer needs:

We ask God to intervene in this war and open the paths to peace. We pray that among those who make decisions, the desire to find a path to peace, will prevail, so that opportunities for a ceasefire, dialogue and a just settlement will arise.

• We pray for the Ukrainian defenders who came to know God on the front. We ask the Lord to strengthen them in faith, to root them in His Word and to help them grow in the knowledge of Christ even in the midst of difficult trials. May God’s presence be their strength, support, and source of hope when their physical and spiritual strength is almost gone. We also pray for those soldiers who have not yet come to know Christ. We ask the Lord to touch their hearts, to send people through whom they will hear the Gospel, and to open the way to salvation for them. May they even in the midst of war encounter the living God, know His love, and find hope, peace, and salvation in Christ.

• We pray for the Ukrainians who have recently returned from Russian captivity. For their physical recovery, healing of spiritual and psychological trauma, restoration of strength, and return to a full life. We pray that there will be people next to them who will lovingly and patiently help them through the path of rehabilitation and adaptation to civilian life. We ask the Lord to touch their hearts, to open His love to them, and to lead them to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

• We also pray for those who are still in Russian captivity. We ask the Lord to be close to them in every moment of trial, to strengthen their hearts, to protect their lives, and to give them the strength to endure. We pray for supernatural protection, for opportunities for exchanges and for a return home, so that each prisoner may live to see the day of their freedom and reunion with their families.

• We pray that Ukrainian retailers will have sufficient resources to operate, be able to maintain jobs, pay wages on time, and support their employees. We ask God for help in restoring supply chains, storing goods, available financing, and favorable conditions for recovery. We pray for the resilience of Ukrainian businesses, so that even in difficult economic conditions, retailers can survive, restore what was lost, and move from survival to development.

• We pray that in this thick darkness, the light of the Church of Christ will shine brightly, that it will be the loud voice of God. That this light will attract souls, so that people will turn to the Lord and come out of the slavery of sin.

«Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me. Deliver me from evildoers and save me from those who are after my blood.»
