Ukraine Prayer # 517

Ira Kapitonova
I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
My eye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
Psalm 6:6-7
Oh, how I can relate to these words of David! And how I hate to write posts like this, but how can I give up? The least I can do is share the pain of my people and the truth.
Today, Russia attacked Kharkiv with missiles. Once again, they hit civilians. As of now, 9 people are injured, 5 are killed, and 5 more are still missing. The interviews with people watching the rescue operation are blood-chilling. Someone received a text message from a friend trapped in the burning building: "I'm suffocating. Goodbye." A woman received a phone call from her mother, who said, "We were hit by a missile. I'm buried under the furniture. I'm burning. Forgive me for everything."
How can this keep happening?!

The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
Psalm 6:9-10
Can we believe this prayer by David  and pray it again and again. Please don’t be weary in praying, let’s keep believing and persevering. Pray for the people in these cities.
