Every Christian who cares about the fate of Ukraine prays for its peace and well-being every day.
It is extremely important to unite in such a prayer, which is why a general national prayer is held in Ukraine
every year at the beginning of June.
Intercessory prayer for Ukraine unites millions of believers in Ukraine and around the world.
Such prayer unity of churches of different denominations is a unique experience of Ukraine, unprecedented
in world practice.
The idea of convening the National Day of Prayer for Ukraine was proposed by an international evangelist
from Great Britain – David Hathaway. David devoted many years to serving Ukraine, so he called on Ukrainians
to unite in prayer so that God would change the situation in Ukraine for the better.
Therefore, from year to year, starting from 2016, Christians turn to God for the most painful and most significant:
GOD’S PROTECTION and help to all military personnel, medics, chaplains and volunteers;
GOD’S PROTECTION of the civilian population in times of full-scale war;
REVIVAL of Ukraine and the spiritual awakening of our people;
PEACE AND RESTORATION of territorial integrity of Ukraine;
PURIFICATION from corruption and immorality;
BLESSING of Ukrainian children, teenagers and youth;
GOD’S COMPLETE VICTORY IN UKRAINE.
The Bible narrates many dramatic events when God protected and blessed His people, answering
a fervent prayer of submission and repentance:
“if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive
their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
We are prayerfully responsible for the present and future of our people.
THEREFORE LET’S CONTINUE TO PRAY DAILY FOR UKRAINE!

Prayer for Ukraine takes place annually in early summer. But the situation on Ukraine's borders has prompted an emergency meeting for many churches to unite in prayer for peace in Ukraine. On February 20, 2022, several hundred believers gathered at the Grace Church and several thousand more joined in online prayer. Anatoliy Kozachok reminded of Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Lord Himself called us to pray even in the face of danger. The initiator and patron of the National Day of Prayer for Ukraine, British evangelist David Hathaway, flew to Kyiv specifically to join Ukrainian priests and express his support for Ukraine from Britain. Bishop Anatoliy Kalyuzhny addressed the audience very openly with the question - "how long have you been praying for Ukraine for tears"? Pastor Oleksandr Zaitsev from Donetsk said that unlike others who pray that nothing happens, believers in the occupied territories pray that something has already happened. May the Lord intervene and start doing something. In his closing remarks, David Hathaway cited the example of Gideon, when 300 soldiers defeated an army because the Lord was with them. So David called to pray that the Lord would embarrass the enemy. To be saved, instead of being killed on the battlefield. At the end, everyone sang the anthem "God is great, save Ukraine for us". And all the bishops gave a pastoral blessing to all participants in the prayer. Keep praying for peace in Ukraine.

When Jesus created the Church, He gave her the power and authority of his name to make requests in prayer to Almighty God, the Creator and King of the Universe. “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” (John 14:13) Prayer is a gracious gift and a privilege given by God. The prayer of faith is a powerful spiritual weapon able to destroy the works of Satan and change the course of history. Unity of prayer is of great strength, as the Bible and the history of mankind clearly show! Today, in a time of great political and socio-economic difficulties, God gives the Church and the people of Ukraine a unique chance to witness the power of united prayer of faith to God. The state of total despair in the people, the corruption and incompetence of the Ukrainian authorities, frustrated relations with Western partners and the exhausting war in the east are a great opportunity to demonstrate the greatness and omnipotence of our God, who only can save and raise up our country. That is why the Spirit of God urges his people not to lose faith and perseverance and to meet together again on the prayer mountain to light a fire on the altar of zealous prayer for Ukraine. The Lord calls us to put on the whole armour of God and stand side-by-side in prayerful intercession for our native land! The goal of the National Day of Prayer for Ukraine is the prayer of unity of all churches and all people for the salvation and revival of our country. We wholeheartedly believe that God will hear our humble prayer and grant peace and prosperity to our long-suffering Ukrainian land. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14) The organising committee of the National Day of Prayer for Ukraine developed the rules of prayer and formal Declaration which enshrine the main goals and direction of our prayer requests.
