1. Many countries celebrate December 26 as Boxing Day. Tradition states that this holiday started as a way for employers to show appreciation to their employees, because the household servants had been required to work on Christmas Day. The employees would be given the day off work and a box of extra Christmas food, gifts, and money. Boxing Day continues to be celebrated in various ways in different countries. Pray for the true meaning of Christmas to be remembered and celebrated this Boxing Day.
2. The children in the above picture have been through a difficult year with their mother having cancer. Pray for the Lord to put Christians in their lives who can mirror and explain the love of Jesus to them.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Kurakhove.

From the same news source as the picture is this morning’s update on Kurakhove:

“Set on Ukraine’s eastern front, Kurakhove is surrounded on three sides, with Russian forces just under 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the devastated city center.

Yet between 700 and 1,000 local residents remain, most of them living in the basements of apartment buildings, without running water, heating or electricity. The only place to charge phones is in the basement of the building now housing the city administration.

The exact number of people is impossible to determine because, since mid-October, no humanitarian volunteers have come to Kurakhove.”

1. Pray for the Lord too meet the spiritual needs of those 700 – 1,000 residents this morning. With the impending Russian takeover, they are in a terrifying situation. Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill any Christians among the residents with a powerful sense of His presence and peace, that they may minister to those around them, and that many unsaved people will believe the gospel.
2. Pray for the Lord to protect innocent lives in Kurakhove, and provide continued food, water, shelter, and communication with loved ones.
3. Pray for the salvation of three Russian soldiers who are advancing on the city.
