From: Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 727):
Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
Psalm 127:1
Too many painful memories and too much disheartening news. I remind myself that we just need to get through the next few weeks, and it will get easier, or at least it will feel like it did. We desperately need to keep our eyes on the prize, to remember what is at stake, as sometimes that’s the only thing that would keep us going.
Lord, watch over our cities!
