If you do not stand firm in your faith, you shall not stand at all. Isaiah 7:9 (NIV)
The Lord himself will give you a sign - Immanuel, God with us. Isaiah 7:14 (NIV/ESV)
Behold, I am making all things new. Revelation 21:5 (ESV) (Word of the Year 2026)
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6:3 (NIV)
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:9 (NIV)
May it happen in Europe.
God of history, let Europe stand firm in its Judeo-Christian roots, heritage and values.
Let all ideologies of the “right” and of the “left” be submitted to you, the Sovereign God, Creator of all Earth.
Give the Ukrainian people space and shelter during this Winter, mighty God, Prince of Peace.
Come with your judgement to all who threaten their security and welfare. Awaken the conscience of the people in Russia and give courage to the masses in this nation.
Awaken the young generation in Europe,
To seek their roots and destiny in you, Jesus Christ, Immanuel.
We pray for us, the peoples of Europe, in all our diversity.
May we listen to and dignify each other. May we not fear or rely on other worldly powers, from east or west, but fear and rely only on you, God, the Most High.
Father God, we rejoice that your Kingdom has come and we live by your eternal promise that you will make all things new in Heaven and on Earth on the day of your Fulfilment.
Keep our faith strong, unite us in love and keep us looking forward for your return. In Jesus’ mighty name.
Amen.
