He called on Christians in Ukraine and abroad to unite in a common prayer request for victory and a just peace.
“The Church remembers this time, prays and fights. We are resisting the devil’s plans to destroy Ukraine, to deprive us of our freedom, the right to believe and speak. But his plans did not come true!” Antoniuk emphasized.
The National Day of Prayer is a day of unity and spiritual struggle
For 10 years, prayer events have been held in Ukraine: prayers on Khreshchatyk, in the Palace of Sports, in regional and district centers. This tradition has become the basis for decision-making at the state level.
Valeriy Antoniuk emphasized that Ukraine became the second country in the world after the United States to officially establish a National Day of Prayer. He emphasized that this day should become a special moment of intense prayer and spiritual unity of Christians of different denominations.
“Prayer is a dangerous weapon to destroy the enemy’s plans. We call on all churches, ministers and believers to intensify prayers, hold meetings, support IDPs, military families, widows and those affected by the war on February 23-24. Together we pray, we act – and we will win!”
On this day, the Verkhovna Rada and local administrations are planning events, prayers and performances of the Ukrainian national anthem “God, the Great, the Only, Save Ukraine.”
Ukrainian Christians are invited to pray together to stop evil, do good, and bring Ukraine’s victory closer.
Earlier, on December 6, 2024, during the First Military Prayer Breakfast, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of chaplaincy ministry and stressed the need to unite all faiths in spiritual support of Ukraine’s defenders.
The National Day of Prayer is intended to unite believers in asking God for peace and victory, as well as to demonstrate the power of the spiritual unity of the Ukrainian people.
