America’s piggy bank looks just like the one in your cartoon, mommy.
Why do you care more about what happens in foreign countries than you do about what happens in AMERICA?
Prayer points to guide our prayers for peace and freedom in both Ukraine and Russia:
• God has a way of showing up when things are difficult. God often uses very serious struggles to draw people to himself. Pray that he would be glorified through the people of Ukraine who are following him.
• Pray for God’s peace to be a source of strength. Pray for the workers there — both expat and Ukrainians to be comforted by God’s shalom peace.
• Pray for God’s protection. Pray for the safety of people on both sides of this border. Ask God for their physical protection but also their spiritual protection — ask him to help people seek the truth during the conflict.
• Ask God for comfort. As the war continues from the 2014 Russian invasion of the Crimea region, this more intense invasion is overwhelming to the many families who have already lost fathers and sons.
• Ask God to intervene. Pray for God’s wisdom to guide the steps and plans of world leaders.
• Pray that Russia and Ukraine would be places without corruption.
• Pray for leaders of both countries to know God’s truth and peace and be transformed by his Holy Spirit: that they would lead their countries in the way of peace.
• Ask for repentance, grace, forgiveness and reconciliation throughout Ukraine and Russia for the people to be re-united in their reconciliation.
• Ask that this would open doors of opportunities for the gospel. God has a way of showing up when things are difficult.
