Praying for Ukraine: the Bread Basket of the World

Few, and certainly not the present writer, could have foreseen the emergence of President Zelensky onto the world stage in the starring central role that he has risen to. It takes an unusually gifted man to inspire and motivate American Congress and British Parliament alike to commit themselves to a distant campaign. Ever conscious of the need to win global support, Zelensky has also led the charge against swathes of corruption that had been plaguing the country. It is clearly both important and strategic to pray for this man and his family, who has mobilised the morale of his nation and brought about a release of armaments that would certainly not have otherwise come about. Pray for his protection and for good judgement and wise decision making concerning the many pressing matters he constantly has to deal with on all fronts.
