We pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, will grant us a wise heart and openness to His revelation, so that we can know Him. And especially in this difficult and controversial time – in order not to go astray, not to get carried away by what comes not from God’s heart, but from people. • We pray for the failure of Russia’s plans to destroy our power system, use it as a weapon, try to instill fear in people before the threat of blackouts, and also demoralize them.
We pray for those who defend us from the enemy on the battlefield. May the Lord strengthen them in spirit, soul and body, may they rely on God, on His protection. After all, salvation is only in Christ.

We pray for the replenishment of the ranks of ministers at the front who could provide spiritual support to our soldiers. About the unity of chaplains of different denominations, about focusing on the main thing to which we are called – the salvation of souls.
In 2024, Ukraine faces serious demographic challenges that may significantly affect the country’s future. Therefore, there is an urgent need for prayers for slowing down the rate of population decline, for adaptation and restoration of Ukraine’s attractiveness for talents and investors, for preservation of social stability and development of education, as well as for readiness for adaptation in the field of defense and public administration.
We pray for the elderly who are suffering from this war and its consequences. (Ukraine recorded a decrease in the number of pensioners). We pray for state support for these people, so that they are not perceived as economic ballast. After all, a state in which old age is not respected is doomed to defeat.
“The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,” Psalm 33:16-18 ESV
