PRAYER FOR ESTONIA 2026
The anniversary of the Estonia’s Restoration of Independence Day is approaching. Let us gather as a community of faith on August 18 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Tallinn to pray for Estonia.
Dear Estonians, dear friends, brothers and sisters in Christ!
Let us once again come together and pray for our country and our people:
Dear friends!
A few months ago, a call went out — to once again organize a prayer service (with the entire Estonian ministry standing in the breach) for the land and people of Estonia — “Estonia’s Prayer 2026.”
Over time, this burden and calling have only grown stronger. We see what is happening both in our country and beyond our borders. Our only hope is the Lord Jesus Christ.
The final incentive for this gathering in prayer for the land and the people came from the service held at St. Mary’s Cathedral on November 9, 2024, during which our beloved Eenok Haamer offered a prayer that served as a kind of testament from a man of faith: “Lord, You have kept us safe thus far — please spare us.”
These words were like a fire that touched the heart.
Leaders of various denominations, ministers, sisters, and brothers will come together to prophetically proclaim the Word of God and pray wholeheartedly together for the land and people of Estonia.
Ott Lepland will participate in the service and lead worship with songs about Estonia, and the Ekklesia choir will offer praise. Leaders from various denominations will share messages and lead in prayer.
Everyone is important!
Let’s come together prepared — not just to observe, but to participate — bringing our prayers and our hearts!
Who else but us? When else but now!
Estonian Prayer 2026 will take place on August 18 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Toom-Kooli St. 6, Tallinn.
Russian translation via headphones will be available on site.
See you there!
On behalf of the organizers,
Veikko Võsu and Rene Paats

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name!
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread!
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors!
And do not lead us into temptation,
but deliver us from evil!
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.
Matthew 6: 9-13
Fasting
Why fast at all?
- Fasting is a spiritual self-discipline practiced in both the Old and New Testaments. It has always been followed by life or history changing miracles, power and grace from God.
- Fasting is a biblical way to deeply humble ourselves before God. King David said, “I humbled my soul with fasting” (Psalm 35:13, see Ezra 8:21).
- Fasting can change the fate of nations (Book of Jonah, King Ahab, etc.).
- Fasting allows the Holy Spirit to reveal our true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance, and a changed life.
- Fasting helps to focus on God. This is one important key to hearing God’s voice.
- Fasting helps remove unbelief. Your trust and faith in God will be strengthened. You feel refreshed mentally and physically.
- Fasting is for spiritual growth, preparation for ministry, equipping, gaining wisdom, seeking guidance from God, seeking spiritual breakthroughs, resisting temptation, devotion to God, expression of love, prayer and worship.
- Fasting is a weapon against demonic forces.
- Fasting can also be ministering to others. Through fasting, we can ask God for breakthroughs and changes in other people’s lives.
What a heaven-shaking power is in fasting, called into existence by God, where His servants fast with one accord with broken hearts for their country and people! Be prepared that God can change you mightily!
How to fast?
The main idea of fasting is to focus on God and seek Him. Fasting can be thought of as tuning in, where you turn your gaze away from the usual sources of noise in life. It is replaced by a time of prayer, worship, reading the Bible, being in silence.
Some suggestions for Lent:
– Set yourself up to fast:
- First, think clearly why you are going to fast. It will get you through.
- According to the way of fasting, make the necessary preparations, e.g. unplug the TV and hide the remote control, prepare clothes suitable for the weather to go for a walk, plan the amount of food so that nothing spoils on fasting days, etc.
– Take more time for God
– Avoid physical overload
– Go for a walk, be in the middle of nature
– Read the Bible or listen to the audio Bible
Guidelines for fasting from food
There are different ways of fasting from food:
- Water fast – consuming only water.
- Daniel’s fast – eating only fruits and/or vegetables
- Juice fast – consumption of only water and freshly squeezed juice (store-bought or homemade)
- Full fasting – not eating or drinking anything (this fasting can be done for a maximum of 3 days while observing your body)
Before fasting, do not eat a full stomach of heavily fried foods, flour, sugar or meat products. If the carnal nature tells you to eat as much as you can before you start fasting, this behavior actually makes fasting more difficult. The stomach distends, the feeling of an empty stomach is greater, and the next day headaches, nausea and weakness may occur.
Recommended foods before fasting:
- fruits
- vegetables
- seeds and nuts
- berries
- legumes
- plant-based milk replacers
- herbs
*If you still want to eat some meat before fasting, it is recommended to eat an egg (best boiled) or fish.
When coming out of fasting, it is not recommended to eat a large steak or heavy meat. In the case of a short fast (1-3 days), it is recommended to eat a little unflavored yogurt, kefir, stewed vegetables, mashed soup at the beginning.
Prov 11:24 There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, ut it leads to poverty.
