After months of posturing, we have now seen Russia invade its neighbor Ukraine.

This violent invasion is already affecting Ukrainian families who have been displaced or lost loved ones just in the hours since the attacks began. And it will continue to harm families in both Ukraine and Russia, as they bear the far-reaching consequences of Putin’s decision to invade.

Ukrainian believers are humble and devoted to Christ. They have endured some of the darkest periods in world history. They have suffered horrific oppression. And yet, they have overcome. They are deeply committed to defending their freedom and sovereignty – a commitment Americans know well.

Today, we join Christians around the globe in praying for these families, and we invite you to join us in that prayer.

  • Pray for peace, security and preservation of life and families in Ukraine – and for God to bring the enemy’s plans to nothing, according to His will.

  • Pray for believers in Ukraine to experience – and be able to share with others – the peace that passes understanding, and to put their full hope and trust in God.

  • Pray Psalm 16 over the people of Ukraine.

Thank you for praying for the families of both Ukraine and Russia who are suffering in different ways because of the decisions of the Russian leaders. God loves the people of both nations and desires for them to know His love and freedom.
