By Kim Koteles; just now.

Friends, I literally recieved this request two minutes ago. Please “stop, drop and roll” into prayer… Even if you read this late, God is well able to work outside the boundaries of time in ways we can’t understand.

“friends, our marines, including my very close friend, Alexander, are now surrounded in Mariupol. The situation is absolutely critical – in the morning the boys sent us letters, which we have to pass on to our wives in case they die. the chances of getting out are minimal, all together decided not to surrender. I beg you to remember Alexander and his brothers in prayer, they need this support like no one else now.”

Heavenly Father, we add our cries to the millions of ones who are praying for Your justice and mercy in Ukraine! In Jesus’ name we declare that we believe and trust You alone, though the war has not ended yet. We cry out for Mariupol and the battle going there now. YES to victory of God’s angel armies. YES to God’s glory in this victory! YES to truth, justice, and righteousness! NO to evil. NO to darkness and deception and death! As you have protected Shadrak, Mishak and Abednigo in the fiery furnace, we ask You to miraculously protect and empower Alexander and all the Ukrainian armed forces in Mariupol, so that they would come out unscathed, victorious, knowing it was YOU that spared them, and giving YOU the glory. Confuse and cut off every evil thought, action, and heart from those against Ukraine. I pray for failure in every conceivable way, for those against Ukraine–weapons, equipment, communication, supplies, strategy, even the ability to think and act coherently. Seize these people with the overwhelming fear of the Lord, that they would drop their weapons and flee, never to return. And if they are ones that You know will repent, grant them mercy. Lord Jesus move the hearts of world leaders to Your actions alone, that would respond in Your righteousness, justice, integrity, and power. Save Mariupol tonight please Lord…the eyes of the world are on You. In Jesus’ sovereign and powerful name I pray, Amin.
