From Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 562):

For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered forever.
He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
Psalm 112:6‭-‬8

On busy days, I get to check the news only late in the evening. I wish there were a way not to be moved. I read the statistics and try not to think beyond the reported numbers. We’ve had too much bad news, so I am afraid even though I do my best to trust the Lord.

This morning… Attacks on Sumy and Kryvyi Rih… Lord, help my heart to be steady.
