“How Can We Pray?”
The question stares at each of us as we gaze—horrified—into the face of evil, destruction, suffering, and death. Today, I offer one shareable website, Stand with Ukraine, with regularly updated prayer requests. May this tool encourage you, your family, your friends, your Bible Study, your church, your small group, your book club, your cooking club, your neighborhood, your carpool, your choir to pray urgently and specifically for God’s end to this heinous war in our midst. As you gather in classrooms, fitness rooms, boardrooms, and family rooms, will you bring your heart and the hearts of those around you to pray for Ukraine and her people?
“I love the Lord because He hears my prayers and answers them. Because He bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I breathe” (Psalm 116:1-2).
Living with Eternal Intentionality®
The words of James 5:16b say, “The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much” (NASB). How does this motivate you to pray with confidence in the grievous day in which we live?
My prayer warrior friend Ruthie says, “I am learning more about praying without ceasing in regard to this war.” (I Thessalonians 5:17) Relate any way that can you identify with Ruthie.
