GOD’S PROMISES ARE SURE
Oh Father, because You love us we trust You
…just as He had promised them.

This posted Friday, Feb 25th, and is followed today with a similar theme around prayer.
Specifically, how do we pray during tragic times?
But in the post below, YOU WILL SEE BEHIND THE SCENES what the Ukrainian church is doing while their nation is being invaded by Russian forces.
Are you like me? My heart hurts to see what is going on in Ukraine. And I want to help.
So, I ask, “How can I help?”
All of these we’ve seen on FB, Tw & IG, right?
But, there is another idea. . .
Why don’t we hear what the church in Ukraine is doing and prayerfully come alongside them?
Last night I saw this article from the SBC (https://erlc.com/resource-library/articles/4-reasons-why-christians-should-care-about-whats-happening-in-ukraine/):
Those that have chosen to stay are committed to meeting the needs of their neighbors as they are able, and have said, “When this is over, the citizens of Kyiv will remember how Christians have responded in their time of need.”
How did that prompt you to pray?
Let me give you another peek at what the Ukrainian Church is doing.
A friend of mine (now living in Pennsylvania) started a church in Ukraine with another gentlemen, who is still there. He hasn’t been on social media for 23 hours, but as my friend is quick to note, he may just be saving his battery.
These were his last words:
How does that prompt you to pray?
Shortly before the text above, came this brief exchange:
Is any of this giving YOU hope?
I trust you are getting hope and motivation to pray for the church in Ukraine.
Again I ask you, how?
May I simply suggest, that you come to the Lord HUMBLY (Psalm 138:6, Proverbs 3:34, 1 Peter 5:5b).
I think we’ve lost the art of coming in to the Lord’s presence with humility. We don’t need bombastic praying (https://markmirza.com/glass-packs-on-our-praying/) or prayer filled with lots of words (Ecclesiastes 5:2, Matthew 6:7).
If you’re going to take the time to pray, then don’t run the risk of your prayers not being heard.
I watch what the Ukrainian Church is doing and I want to do my part. So, I plan to pray as follows.
Maybe this will help you also:
Honored to serve,
Below are each week’s prayer prompts.
Bring them to the prayer call, and/or use them on your own.
NOTE: Where a verse is bold, THAT is our focus.
FOCUS: BUSINESS/ECONOMY
We have been praying for Christians in the workplace. Let us now consider…

How do we handle persecution in the workplace?
