From: Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 663):

‭‭Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
Psalm‬ ‭63:3‬

Tonight, I caught myself thinking that if we didn’t have an overnight air raid last night, it is bound to happen this night. This negative thinking is the trap the enemy wants us to fall into. Missile-and-drone terrorism combined with little sunlight, the general gloominess of the weather, and our weariness become the perfect Petri dish for despair to flourish. I remember how we were longing for spring at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, convincing ourselves that if we live till spring, we’ll get over anything.

Lord, help us guard our hearts and remember Your steadfast love.
