Russia is currently facing a series of major crises that have prompted people to call for prayer and calm.
Just four days ago, the country was shaken by a powerful earthquake measuring 8.8 magnitude, causing widespread fear and damage.
Now, a volcano that had remained dormant for over 500 years has suddenly erupted.
In the early hours of the morning, on Monday August 4, 2025, the mountain released a massive plume of ash and fire, forcing nearby residents to flee their homes in panic.
Emergency services have been deployed to help evacuate the affected communities, as experts warn of possible further volcanic activity in the coming days.
As if that wasn’t enough, Russia continues to be deeply involved in the war with Ukraine, which shows no signs of slowing down. Today, Ukrainian drones reportedly carried out an attack on a Russian oil depot, setting the facility on fire. The flames were still burning hours later as firefighters worked to contain the damage.
The combination of natural disasters and armed conflict has left many Russians in fear and uncertainty.
Religious leaders and citizens alike have urged the nation to come together in prayer, asking for strength and protection during these troubling times.
