While Russia itself faces subzero weather, poverty, hunger and lack of heat, much of Ukraine is also now freezing in the dark following the Kremlin’s targeted attacks on their energy sources. With icy temperatures, blackouts, and lack of heat or running water, Ukrainian cities such as Kherson and Kyiv have set up tents and other public shelters with generators to keep people from freezing to death, all while heavy shelling from the enemy continues.
Another three million Ukrainians are expected to flee their homes this winter, and the eight million refugees still living abroad have been urged to seek more permanent residence there.
Father, please have mercy on the people of Ukraine. End this war soon. Protect those in danger. Give courage, strength and wisdom to those fighting for their homeland. Bring warmth to those who are freezing. Comfort those who mourn. Heal those who are wounded. Rescue those who are trapped. Reunite families. Bring glad tidings as Christmas arrives, so people will know You are the One who did that, the One who raided this world with love, turning back the darkness for all time. Raise temperatures, provide for those in need, turn on the lights, and make warmth and shelter available to every person. Prompt caring Christians to share their provisions and Your love with those in need, and bless them abundantly as they do. Multiply their stores of food and water, blankets, clothes, medicines and more. Shine through them such joy, peace, love and hope that the lost are drawn into Your warm embrace. Make the light of Your glory rise over Ukraine, awakening them to the One who is Life. Make the terrible trials they have endured into a pathway to salvation for the lost. Touch every heart in such deep ways they cannot resist the allure of Your love. Hope to the hopeless. Strength to the weak. Father to the orphans. Healer to the broken. Victory and courage to the downtrodden. You are the One they have longed for, O Jesus. Turn them in Your directions now. Pierce though their darkness with Your light. Give them such a hunger for You they will seek You with all their heart and find You. Don’t let even one more Ukrainian die without knowing the good news of Jesus’ sacrifice and Your invitation to salvation and eternal life. What You have already begun in every heart, O Lord, bring it to completion. In Your precious name, Jesus. Amen.
