While We Were Praying

While we were praying, Ukraine recaptured more territory in just a few days (about 2,300 square miles) than Russia has gained in all their attacks since April, redefining the battle dramatically and setting off public criticism against Putin from those who had supported him.

Lord, while we thank You for this reprieve for the Ukrainian people, we continue to ask You for mercy on those suffering on both sides. There are reports of thousands of Ukrainians forcibly relocated to Russia and undergoing torture, as well as both sides suffering terrible losses. With this past week’s events, retaliation could be expected. But we ask You, Lord, for PEACE where there has been violence and war. For LIFE where there has been so much death. For repentance and SALVATION for those whose minds and hearts are consumed with sin, violence, murder and evil. For FREEDOM for those who are spiritual captives to our true enemy, Satan. For while nations battle over earthly land, a much more dangerous war ensues and the stakes are eternal. We fight now in prayer, Lord, for the sons and daughters, for lost leaders who keep their nations in darkness by blocking out Your light. We declare that the Light of the World cannot be hidden. That You reveal Yourself to all mankind, whether we acknowledge You as Truth or not. So now, Lord, please, fight for these souls who fight for their homelands. Get up in their face and show them Your grace. Give them a deep need for Your salvation. As they see the atrocities they have witnessed and committed, convict their hearts and minds. Bring them to their knees in repentance and surrender. When they cry out to You, O God, hear them and save them. For the Russian troops who feel abandoned, please be a Loving Father, drawing them up into Your arms and comforting them with Your love. To Putin and those who support his evil agendas, be the Fire that consumes their thoughts day and night, pursuing them relentlessly to either surrender to Your Sovereignty or fall. To leaders on both sides, O Desire of Nations, give them a hunger to seek Your perfect purposes for their countries, to pray to You, to join with Your armies of Light, to fight for the things of Your heart, but most of all, to surrender to You alone as Lord and King. Awaken every heart in Ukraine, Russia and the whole world to Your love. To all those who are dying, become to us our Giver of Life.
