My heart is breaking as I watch the news. Like many of you, my prayers are going out today - to the innocent people in Ukraine, whose country is being attacked. I know there are many scared and hurt people right this very minute. They are confused and don't know where to go. Please, Lord, help them to escape to safety, wherever that may be.
I know there must be many, many prayer requests, but I saw this specific one on Twitter this morning and I wanted to ask you all to join me in prayer for this brave family - in the face of danger...
@sarahrlacour requested prayer for:
"If you need specific names to focus your prayers for Ukraine, please pray for my friends Tanya and Andre and their family. Tanya and the youngest children are evacuating and helping the disabled childrens home evacuate. Andre + oldest son are joining the army and fighting."
The image above is of Christians who joined in prayer, out in the snow and bitter cold in Ukraine, praying and fasting over their country. Let us join our Christian brothers and sisters in prayer during this critical, difficult time.
If you know someone who needs prayer or if you'd like to give your thoughts on what is happening, as well, please share in comments below.
I fear, this is just the beginning with Ukraine. There will be more dictators who seek power and land-grabs elsewhere after this. Ukraine is weaker today, and sadly, America is, as well. Please, also join me in prayer for the future of our country and the world.
God bless you all, Net

Psalm 91:
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
