Ukraine Prayer # 530

Ira Kapitonova
O my God, in you I trust;
let me not be put to shame;
let not my enemies exult over me.
Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
Psalm 25:2-3
Attacks on Ukraine grew by almost 50% in March compared to February.
Russia is producing more than 30 drones a day and expects to produce more than 80 drones a day by the end of the year.
 
This year's strikes on energy infrastructure weren't as painful for the population, yet they are debilitating to the industry. Russia used high-precision missiles and targeted less protected regions. Some power stations are too damaged to be restored by next winter.
Hits on civilian infrastructure in the Poltava, Sumy, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv regions with injured civilians, including children.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.
Consider how many are my foes,
and with what violent hatred they hate me.
Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!
Let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for you.
Psalm 25:16-21

Can we pray this prayer with Ukraine, it cries out the heart of these people. Let’s join our hearts with theirs. Al Akimoff and the Slavic Ministries Team
