Lord, I am thankful for another day. I am grateful for the safety of my loved ones and my homeland. For a good night's sleep, for peaceful dreams, for waking up. For the chance to continue being.

It is a fact that we have fear: how long will Transcarpathia be a small island of peace? In the meantime, we are thankful that ours is not an area under constant attack. That is why it is important to make us aware that every day is another blessing, another opportunity for us.

I am grateful, Lord, that I can do something good today. Thank you for supporting me on my journey, protecting me and leading me to where I am needed.

Our days are not easy. It is not easy to live in uncertainty, to hope for a good decision, for peace, for a miracle that now seems unlikely. Still, we continue to trust in improvement, change, and tomorrow.

Thank you, Lord, for helping me become a better person. To become part of something that brings you closer to you and to others. I am grateful for the signs that you showed me: you are here and you will not let me go, because I am also one of your children.

In this period, it is perhaps more important than anything else to do good. Let's do something to make tomorrow better and brighter. Let's do it for our community, our loved ones, and ourselves. So that when there is a war in the country - there can be peace in our souls.

I can live and act according to Your will, Lord. I thank You that even in this situation, You make continuous progress and development possible. That life, albeit in a somewhat modified version, can continue in its own way.

Please continue to shower your grace on everyone. After all, we are your children, and perhaps right now we need guidance, encouragement, and advice the most. What is most needed now is to not be held back by indecision, doubt from being able to act.

And once the period of peace comes again, let us not feel that wasted time is behind us. Instead, let us see that we made the best of ourselves even when even existence proved difficult. Let us see that thanks to the opportunities you provided, we did not try in vain, our efforts were not unnecessary.

Grant that not only during difficulties, but also after overcoming them, we remember the one who helped us, and praying to you we say:

Thank you, Lord. Thank you for helping me again.
