How To Pray For Ukrainian Families

The sadness of living in a broken world where war can transpire as quickly as a screen swipe is heartbreaking. The unfolding of war between  Russia and Ukraine is unsettling. Families fleeing military attacks.  Hordes of people seeking shelter in underground subways. A sobbing father saying goodbye to his daughter because he must stay behind to fight. This should not transpire. The shadows of evil seem to be prevailing, but the book of Revelation reminds us to hope in Jesus who will defeat the evil one forever. Momma Theologians Practical Takeaways Spend time lifting up families from Ukraine. Meditate on Rev. 1:5 where Jesus says, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one.” Pray these words about Jesus would sink deep into the hearts of Ukrainian believers. Consider donating money to charities supporting Ukrainian families in need. Pray Ps. 46:1 over Ukrainian families which states, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Go to www.mommatheologians.com to find articles and essays written by mothers just like you as they share stories and reflections about how they grow spiritually in Christ in the midst of motherhood.
