Ukraine Prayer # 459

Ira Kapitonova
Let them be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life!
Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
Psalm 70:2
​
What do you wish for this Christmas? The reporters asked the same question the soldiers at the frontline, and here's what they said:
— For our enemies to be scattered.
— For a quick victory.
— For a happy future for Ukraine and our children
— For God to protect all Ukrainians.
— For our captives to return home.
— For a return of all Ukrainian children.
— For peace and prosperity in our country.
May the Lord hear these wishes!
May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, “God is great!”
Psalm 70:4
 
Can we make this our New Year prayer? As we close out this past year of so much evil in the world, can we pray for peace on earth and good will toward men. For peace in Ukraine and peace in the Middle East. Thank you for your prayers over this past year, please continue to pray with us.
