Voice of Ukraine

From: Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 1208)

When I look at your heavens,
the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8:3-4

It’s Father’s Day.
It’s hard to put all the thoughts in my head into words.
Today, I pray for all the fathers serving in the army to protect their children from the russian cruelty. It is love.
I pray for the fathers who have not seen their children in years because their families left the country in search of safety. It is a sacrifice.
I pray for the fathers who are waiting to hear from their children who went missing in action or are kept in russian prisons. It is hoping despite despair.
I pray for the fathers who care for their wounded children who suffered in this war. It is faithfulness.
I pray for the fathers who lost their families because of russian drone and missile strikes. It is incomprehensible.
I pray for the fathers who have the privilege of being with their children. It is a responsibility.
I pray for the children who lost their fathers because of the war. May they get to know God as their Father and find comfort in Him.
