From Ira Kapitonova (Day 621):

Though they plan evil against you,
though they devise mischief,
they will not succeed.
Psalm‬ ‭21:11‬ ‭

Ukraine’s Intelligence Agency reported that Russia has about 870 missiles with a range of over 350 km (220 miles). They keep preparing for the winter season.

When I first read this report, I got nervous. What if they succeed, and our world will be swallowed by the darkness? What if the massive missile attacks cause irreversible damage? What if…? I had to stop myself there. I can torment myself with anxious guesses, but that would do little good. We choose to trust the Lord, remembering His goodness and faithfulness in the past, knowing that He is mighty to deliver us from the enemy, but even if He doesn’t, we will still keep trusting Him.
