Ukraine Prayer # 488

Ira Kapitonova
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
Psalm 115:1
These words seem so appropriate today. The President of Ukraine made some changes to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. One of the major changes was replacing the Commander-in-Chief of the AFU. The new Commander-in-Chief is an experienced Colonel General who has been defending Ukraine in the battlefield since 2014. However, these changes make us all feel anxious and uncertain.
 
That's why this verse from Psalm 115 became a blessing to me tonight. We may be prone to putting our trust in people, but we know that the ultimate glory belongs to God. And no matter what changes take place here, God is mighty to bring deliverance to Ukraine not for the sake of our glory but out of His steadfast love and faithfulness.
 
Pray for good, righteous men of wisdom to be raised to leadership in Ukraine. Pray that trust would be in God.
