Ukraine Prayer # 528

Ira Kapitonova
Though they plan evil against you,
though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
For you will put them to flight;
you will aim at their faces with your bows.
Psalm 21:11-12
Five missile and drone attacks on Kharkiv over the past 24 hours. The strikes hit residential buildings with nothing of strategic importance in the neighborhood. Four people were killed. Three of them were the rescuers of the State Emergency Service, working on the site when the Russians struck again. There was a video of a young rescuer weeping as his father (also a rescuer) was killed while he was working in a different location. You can find advice people give each other on increasing their chances in case of attacks. One of them is to keep dog treats in your pockets at all times, as it would help motivate rescue dogs.
 
No movie would ever be able to come up with as dramatic plots as Ukrainians are living through every day.
 
Please pray for Kharkiv and the neighboring cities, they have been under a constant attack for weeks now. Pray for survivors, pray for those hidden in basements and tunnels. Pray for peace.
