Reverend Franklin Graham is asking people to pray for President Donald Trump as he prepares for important conversations with the goal of ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Graham said Trump is scheduled to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday.

“Pray for President Donald J. Trump today as he is scheduled to talk with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about a lasting peace agreement between their two countries,” he wrote.

“It is reported that some 5,000 people are dying every week in that bloody conflict. May God’s hand be upon President Trump and give him wisdom, and may God touch the hearts of these leaders and bring peace,” Graham added:
