🙏 We thank God that the importance of prayer to God for the development of the country has already been recognized at the state level. Today, the Verkhovna Rada approved a resolution on the establishment of a National Day of Prayer in Ukraine, which will be celebrated annually on February 24. The deputies noted that there are many examples in history when national prayer changed the course of history. Therefore, February 24 will become a symbol of spiritual unity in Ukraine.

For the elimination of various speculations and corruption components in this market. • We also pray for resolving the issue that Ukraine is currently facing in the metallurgical industry due to the tariffs introduced by the United States. As a result of the new US tariffs on steel and aluminum, Ukraine may lose hundreds of millions of dollars. We pray for the opening of new sales markets, for new opportunities for Ukraine in selling its products, so that it does not lose money.
• We pray for Ukrainian children who are facing difficulties in their studies due to the war. The Russian invasion in Ukraine has had, in particular, negative consequences for the education system, which has become one of the greatest threats to the future of the country.

Therefore, we pray for the restoration of the quality of education and social integration – especially in the post-war period. May the Lord help us to raise our children.
• Let us pray that the light of the Church, the people of God, shine brightly in the midst of this darkness. That we may not become embittered, despair, or weaken, but be strengthened in Christ and proclaim His soon coming.

🇺🇦 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for His promise: “And behold, I will be with you always, even to the end of the age” (Mt. 28:20). In every day of war or in wanderings, in certain difficulties or calm life – the Lord is next to every person who trusts in Him and calls on Him.

• We pray for the leaders of our country – the president, the prime minister, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, the heads of the security forces. That they should be guided primarily by the fear of God, because this is the beginning of wisdom, so that they do not rely on the temporary, but do what they were put in their positions for at this fateful time.

• We pray for the support of our soldiers, especially in hard areas of the front. May the Lord lift up and inspire those who are tired, who are gripped by fear and despair. Let hope and God’s peace fill hearts.
• We pray for the youth in Ukraine, that opportunities for learning and development will open up for them, that they will be interested in staying in their country and raising it from the ruins. That they were people with God’s fire and truth in their hearts, who know God and strive to do good.
• We pray that a proactive family policy will be implemented in our country at the state level. So that there was real and effective support for parenthood, childhood and marriage. For family policy to be considered in the context of national security priorities due to the threat of depopulation.
• We pray that the Church at this time loudly proclaims truth of Christ, reconciles people to God. We pray that His children guard their hearts, do not become embittered and curse, but are strengthened in God’s love.

«Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.» Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

PRAY WITHOUT CEASE, because this is GOD’S WILL for you in Christ Jesus.
