From: Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 1266)
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
Psalm 64:1
It feels like the whole world (or at least a significant part of it) froze, holding its breath in anticipation of the outcome of the meeting in Alaska. The experts, political parties, and country leaders make statements and predictions, and I feel weary. There is no point in trusting in the wisdom of men, so my only prayer is that the Lord will intervene, show His mighty hand, and turn things around so that there will be no doubt who this victory belongs to.
I try to stay away from the news, but still go through the rollercoaster of emotions. Choosing to trust that the Lord will see it through, choosing to do something in faith that it will work out, choosing to rely on God’s character and not circumstances or experience. Oh, how I long to see the full picture, this incredible puzzle God is putting together, the puzzle of our lives fit into His story. I know that it will look beautiful in the end, even though it may feel painful now.
I remind myself that God never promised us that our path here on earth will be easy, but He promised to be with us every step of the way. That’s what I am holding on to.

He placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” Rev.1:17-18
