The lyrics of the song in English:

Hail Ukraine! May your honour ring out, as a cry for the dawning tomorrow!

May your strength and the flame of your love demand, make a free land!

Proud Ukrain! Do not falter now!

The dawn of the nations will come one day.

Calmly and steadily repel your peril,

or flash fire if need be!

Beautiful Ukraine, the salt of nations!

You have the flag and we have the road.

With you in the storm stand Finland and Poland,

Also Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Forwards, Ukraine! You are not a slave, if you yourself wish and want it.

Do you hear the choir great and graceful like the sea of nations fading?

New Ukraine, wonderful, vast!

You wide streams glimmer,

And in your purple flowers of freedom blossom

Mordovia, Grusinia, Perm and the rest!

The time has come for the peoples of Europe to rise; break the chains imposed by the Tzars!

Shine; Ukraine! Ready your bow,

shine the road of Republics to come!

LOVE THIS!

Let's go "Back to Jerusalem " through Sri Lanka !
Jesus is the solution to the challenges #Srilanka is facing today.

#Srilanka
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
Pray that Sri Lanka will remain with Jesus and bear much fruit.

Show us the way #Srilanka
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

Is there any hope for our nation ? #Srilanka
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26)

@sarikorpi @DevotionalTreasures I'm speechless. I know I need to be on my face before God! 🙏 🙏 🙏

@sarikorpi wow. Praying on! Was praying just yesterday for Russian bullets to be redirected".

Wow - thanks for sharing

@Susan @DevotionalTreasures Yes, we need to continue praying. The situation is serious. Also Belarus has made the decision to allow the using of nuclear weapons.

I received (yesterday) this forwarded message from a sister in Christ in Finnish, and again my own translation of it to English:

"We got a message yesterday from our friend in Kiev:
I want to encourage you with the words of our known soldiers and of other common people who are coming from different warfronts. They tell:
"We feel your prayers. Sometimes happens something very inexplicable, like an invisible hand really would direct the bullets and other ammunitions away from us so that they fly us by. We get victories in very difficult situations, like if someone was guiding them. We become invisible to our enemy, but we self can see them in complete darkness so that we know what and how to react. All of this is giving us courage and strenght. We believe that the Lord Jesus himself is protecting Ukraine. We ask you, please, don't quit your prayers, but keep on praying. We need you!"

You can’t kill off hope!

A quick little blog post that I wrote today, on this Sunday.

Because the small spot of sun, that was poking around a curtain, inspired me to remember to never give up hope!

Romans 5 points us to a hope, not in a something, but a someone. And that someone has a name, and that name is Jesus Christ!

@DevotionalTreasures After that being said, the Ukrainian president has agreed to negotiate with Putin at the border of Belarus. Let's pray those negotiations will go well and the killing and destruction will stop 🙏

@sarikorpi Thank you for sharing it. It is very encouraging. We will continue to pray. God bless you.

From a pastor in Ukraine. I found it on FB, "Radiant Israel."

Wisdom is better than weapons of war ...

Ecclesiastes 9:18 NKJV

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

— 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NKJV)

"One of the most basic mandates for the Christian is to pray for the government. God intends His church to exercise a decisive influence for good in the affairs of the nations".

From Derek Prince's book, Praying for the Government

@DevotionalTreasures our family prayer time today was specifically about Putin meeting Jesus, or more specifically for Jesus to go meet him in person

Putin is the one man that can end these troubles.

Jesus is the only way to end these troubles

@sinbach God is stirring Polish hearts to throw all they've got and help Ukrainians in this dark time.
I see reports of tens of thousands of Polish guys and girls rushing to help: organizing convoys to the border to pick up refugees, buying necessary items and shipping them where needed the most, hosting refugees in their own apartments.
From both ends of the political views, above denominations, we stand united for our Ukrainian brothers and sisters.

Our country was SUPER divided for the last 2 years, now I start to see that we are becoming one again.

@sinbach "Are we seeing evidence of miracles taking place as a result of prayer?" - I was thinking the same when I read in the Finnish news about an analyze of the russian invasion, that it seemed like the russians are having problems with the invasion of Kiev. They couldn't figure out what the reason behind it is. I'd say "the problem" is God's peoples prayers!
