Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words, for I see violence and strife in the city.
Psalm 55:9 NIV
Commander of the Armies of Heaven, please confuse those who are bent on evil. Mix up their plans so none can be completed, or even started. Block every evil attack, and rescue those in need. Urge Russian soldiers to desert their posts, to defect, to turn around and stand up against the evil being done not only to Ukraine but to their own country. As they watch Ukrainian children die, bring to their ears reports of how their president’s evil actions are throwing Russia itself into devastation. Give them boldness to take a stand, to say no to tyranny, violence and destruction. Open officers’ minds to see clearly the insanity of this invasion, to hate what their president is doing, and to take a stand and make plans against those evil plans. As they see the bravery of Ukrainian civilians and soldiers, break their hearts for the atrocities waged against them. Turn the eyes of every soldier and officer to You, O God. May they lay down their weapons in defiance of the evil they have been forced to take part in, repent, turn to You, and fight now for the things that matter most. Awaken the Russian army to You, O God. Make the holes in their hearts that hunger for something more than what they’ve been living for rise up and scream at them to turn to You before it’s too late. We press in all the farther now to pray specifically by name for these to turn to You: Artyom, Aleksandr, Roman, Yevgeny, Ivan, Maksim, Denis, Alexey, Dmitry, Danyl, Sergey, Nikolai, Konstantin, Nikita, Mikhail, Boris, Victor, Gennady, Vyacheslav, Vladimir, Andrey, Anatoly, Ilya, Kirill and Oleg
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.
Psalm 7:9 NIV
